I did not authorize this company to do convenient pay. I never signed anything, nor did I allow them to even keep a card on file. I always pay the initial $25 to be seen as a copay. this was against my will and I need a refund.Business Response

I went in for a visit on May 16th for bad tick bites at the location at ****************************************************. I was given a steroid shot and my blood pressure was measured. I was there for about thirty minutes total. I paid my copay, went to ******* and paid for the antibiotics, and then a few days later received an email saying I still owed $150 to Urgent Care, and that I had "previously approved" them to continue charging me. None of this was mentioned when I was there. I pay a hefty sum every month for insurance. Somehow, this visit came out to be over $600, with $490 of that as just a "visit fee" as explained by their billing department. I have been absolutely hosed here. This morning I noticed the $150 was simply nabbed from my bank account. I called their billing department who explained how the charges were dolled out and she simply said they comply with some sort of regulation, which came off as a canned response to people who get habitually overcharged, and seeing all of the negative reviews and complaints lobbied on this website it's even more clear that this is how they do things.Business Response

In April of 2023 I brought my son into urgent care. We chose to self pay and payed the 99$ copay. Following his visit we began being billed 150$ at a time on 3 separate occurances. Now I am receiving calls from collections for 400$ and I show them proof of payments and they tell me I need to call the urgent care. The billing **** told me it's in collections so they cannot access it. How is it I pay about 600$ for a 400$ bill and then get sent to collections for the same bill?Business Response

I woke up this morning to having a $150 charge on my debit card. I never authorized TAUC to take a payment in this amount. Im not sure even how they got my debit card information in the first place. Its been months since I went to TAUC and I paid my copayment. I never authorized them to keep any of my financial information on file. I need my money back ASAP!Business Response

I visited the urgent care facility almost 2 months ago. I paid my copay. I never received a bill for any difference owed. Today I was randomly charged $150 to my debit card. I never authorized this charge nor I was told or explained that they would charge my card whenever they feel like it for however much they feel like!Business Response

Total Access Urgent Care admitted to collecting the wrong specimen during my service, so my lab could not be completed. They apologized; they indicated they would not bill insurance, since I did not have any service completed (due to their negligence of collecting the wrong specimen).They also indicated they would refund my copay paid onsite. Total Access Urgent Care did not refund the copay paid onsite, and they did bill insurance, for a service (specimen) I never had. In addition to negligence, Total Access Urgent Care has not been truthful with their financial practices.Business Response

Subject: Complaint Regarding Total Access Urgent Care in ********************* date of service 04/20/2022 I am writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration regarding my visit to Total Access Urgent Care at ***************************************, on April 20, 2022.During my visit, I specifically inquired if they accepted **************** to which their staff confirmed and proceeded to scan my insurance card. However, much to my surprise, I received a ******************* of $2704.09 after being treated. This situation has caused significant financial strain and stress.Upon realizing the discrepancy, I promptly contacted their office seeking resolution. I was informed that a supervisor would reach out to me, but two months passed without any communication. Subsequently, I reached out again, expressing my concern and requesting that my insurance be billed. The manager assured me that she would call me back, but unfortunately, I never received any follow-up.As I explained during my subsequent contact, I am in a financially vulnerable position and rely on government assistance through ********* If your front desk staff had informed me about the unavailability of ******** acceptance, I would have sought treatment at the alternative urgent care facility located less than a mile away, which does accept ********* Regrettably, the Total Access Urgent Care refused to bill my insurance and instead sent the bill to collections.This situation has had a significant impact on my credit and future plans. As a full-time student, I am concerned about the long-term consequences this may have on my ability to build a stable life after graduation. Given my current financial circumstances, I am unable to pay the outstanding amount, and it is disheartening that your facility is unwilling to work towards a resolution.I kindly request that you review my case and take immediate action to address this matter. It is essential for both parties to find a fair and equitable solution that will not adversely affect my credit or hinder my future prospects. I believe that a resolution can be reached through open communication and a willingness to rectify the situation.I appreciate your attention to this matter and hope for a prompt response. Please understand that resolving this issue amicably will not only benefit me but also uphold the reputation of Total Access Urgent Care.Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.Sincerely,Business Response

Upon reviewing your account, I see that the reception team called your insurance company on 4/20/22 and it was determined that your plan was ********* and that is a plan that we do not accept at Total Access. At which point, the team presented you with our Self Pay Agreement form. The form states that if the balance is not paid in full or payment arrangements are not made, then the discount received from our Self Pay program is forfeited. In addition, any debts that are sent to collections also receive a 25% collections fee.

At Total Access Urgent Care (TAUC), we are committed to creating fast, friendly, and affordable healthcare in every community. This Self-Pay discount program offers affordable healthcare options for those who are uninsured or have insurance that is not accepted by TAUC.
Self-Pay Patients have access to competitive pricing for services provided by TAUC through the Self-Pay discount program. Under the program, Self-Pay Patients receive a Self-Pay discount from our usual and customary rates. Self-Pay Patients are charged the discounted price of $99 at check-in to be evaluated by the provider. The Self-Pay discount program also includes an average of 45% off of standard pricing for tests and procedures in your personalized care plan.
This agreement is in effect for all Self-Pay Patient visits for three years after the date of service identified below.

TAUCs usual and customary rates for the services provided in addition to a 25% collection fee will be calculated and applied to the patients account if non-payment by a Self-Pay Patient causes a balance to be sent to collections.

Is this the only document they can provide? I asked the company to provide me with my original invoice or receipt of how the bill came to $3609. This bill is false and wrongly made, it was not the original amount at all. I would like to see proof with invoice leading up to $3609. I requested the original invoice multiples times but I never received any. I demand this to be removed from my credit collection.Customer Answer

Total Access Urgent Care stored my credit card information to my adult son's account when I paid his copay. They then proceeded to charge my card for his balance without my authorization.Business Response
Date: 04/16/2024
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We take these matters very seriously.
The refund requested has been expedited and the credit card on file has been removed from the account.
During the check in process, all patients are given a Patient Acknowledgement form to review and sign. This form explains how we store the credit card given at the time of service to be used for any balances left by the insurance company. This form also gives Total Access authorization to process the credit card for any remaining balances on a visit up to $150.
In addition, we also send an email notification prior to processing any card payments. This allows patients to call our billing department to set up other payment arrangementsInitial Complaint
