      On 1/20/24 I received letter from NRS dated 1/9/2024 about a hospital bill account number # ******* hospital #************ that I was in the process of setting up a payment plan with the hospital. I contacted the hospital who then transferred me to them to get clarification on a bill which I then paid in full. I paid my amount through My Connect with my credit card, and haven't been able to get anyone on the line to confirm that my case is now closed. The number on the letter is someone's voicemail who just states her name, no actual information and now when I call through the hospital so they can transfer my call I get placed on hold and then asked to leave a voicemail. Please can someone from the company confirm that my account is CLOSED?

      On 12/19/22, I had an annual well visit at *********************/Queens (***) located at ***************************************************************************************. This visit is covered 100% by my primary insurance with no co-pay required as it is a part of my benefit package. After the visit, I was billed a $25 co-pay. I reached out to the practice on 3/22 & 4/21 explaining I was charged a co-pay in error and outlined the reasons indicated above. On 4/21 I received a response from the practice indicating that it was being looked into. I was never contacted beyond this date by anyone.On 5/30 I received a written letter dated 5/23 from Network Recovery Services (NRS) with a notice of DEMAND FOR PAYMENT. The letter clearly outlined THIS IS A COMMUNICATION FROM A DEBT COLLECTOR. THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO COLLECT A DEBT.This notification was confusing and concerning given the diligent attempts I made to the practice to gain clarity on the charges which is within my patient rights. The ***************** taken would present a potentially devastating impact on my credit score and financial stability in an already fragile economic climate. On 5/31 I spoke with NRS regarding the ******************** over the letter received, despite the outreach attempts I have made. I was told my claim was submitted to their department as standard procedure and recommended I follow up with the office. It also revealed that they are not a collection agency and my credit score would not be impacted despite the standard language used in their billing letters. They admitted that the language used is alarming.This lack of clarity, follow-up & practice places undue stress on the consumer & compromises their health and well-being. I am disputing the current charges and would like an investigation launched into ********** internal controls of monitoring, communication & billing practices which present as deceptive & unfair business practices, negatively impacting the consumer.

As per the patient, they advised the encounter services were related to an annual visit that should not have resulted in an insurance co-pay patient responsibility. NRS reviewed the account and adjusted the $25.00 balance to reflect $0.00. The additional communication-related items mentioned in the complaint are also being reviewed internally for quality assurance. This matter has been addressed to the satisfaction of the patient.

      Received false debt collection notice for $1,000 for date of service 6/18/22 (for services provided by *************** / ***************************************************** or "***"). This notice is fraudulent and false, and we will report to ************** ****** of ******** Frauds and the *********** ***************** if this spurious debt collection is not rescinded. The claim was fully paid via my HSA account on 8/30/22 and processed in full by *** on 9/8/22, and we have full proof and records of such payment.

      Network Recovery Services sent me letter alleging I owe $150 for care given at ******* *************** I have checked with ******* and I have zero balance, having paid it off in July. There is nobody at any phone number I have found for them, and they seem to be personal cellphone numbers. Very odd to say the least.

      I received a demand letter from this company, claiming that I owe ************************************************* $ ***** for services rendered on 9/24/21. The account number was given as *********** Confirmed online and by phone that I do not owe *** any balance whatsoever. (2) The above number is NOT my account number with ********** Attempted to call ********************** The number on the bill was for only an answering machine. The number listed by BBB *************) for this company was not answered. Twice I was hung up on and the third time the number was taken off the hook. I question whether this company is even a legitimate company at all. I am certainly not going to give these clowns any financial information.

      This is in response to the above complaint.  Upon receipt of this complaint, Network Recovery Services, **** attempted to communicate with the patient on several instances to discuss hospital account number ***************** / NRS account number ******* for hospital ******************** rendered at *************************** on service date 9/24/21.  NRS reached out via phone call on 10/7/22, 10/10/22 and 10/25/22 however the patient did not answer.  NRS also attempted to communicate with the patient via the email address on file for the patient on 10/7/22, 10/10/22 and 10/12/22 however the patient did not acknowledge or respond. On 10/10/22, NRS also mailed an itemized bill to the patient displaying to the associated hospital charges for services rendered on service date 9/24/21 and the remaining patient co-pay balance of $20.00, which was left after the patients insurance carrier, Emblem Health, processed the initial billing claim.  Since NRS had not received a response from the patient, the account balance was closed on 10/25/22 and will not be pursued further.  This matter is considered closed.

      I received a letter from Network Recovery Services *** stating that I owed **************************** $399.09. That is false. I paid my portion right after my surgery for $597.09 + $127.86 = $724.95 already via United Healthcare website. I contacted the billing department in the Hospital in late August, and they were able to search for the payment. On 9/13, my account balance on MyConnect is $0!!! This letter has very outdated information! They try to do debt collection for something not existing: my account # ******* and hospital # ************. The surgery date is 4/21/2022. Please can someone from the company remove my account COMPLETELY? I am not willing to do business with this kind of company. Thanks for BBB's help.

      I received a letter from Network Recovery Services demanding for payment. The client name is "New York Presbyterian EMS", the account # is ******* and the hospital # is *********** date of service was 5/19/2022 and the balance due is $3649.39.All the expenses related to the service at the above date has been paid in full by my insurance provider and me already. The received letter lacks any further information so I do not even understand what this bill exactly is for. I think it is either a mistake by Network Recovery Services or a scam. Please help me address this issue.Thank you.

      I received 3 second notices from the Network Recovery Services Inc. *****************************************. I don't know if this is a scam because the number list when I call ************ there's no answer and there's no website to make a payment and I don't want to put my credit card info on the letter. My account # is *******/ $16.28, *******/ $26.52 and *******/ $107.32. Although the amounts are small I would rather pay online where I will have a receipt that it was paid.
