  Ive had a Psychiatrist Appointment through grow therapy a few months ago. The Doctor has over charged me every single session that Ive had with them except my first appt (charging for 45 mins worth of appointments when the appt was only scheduled for 30 mins and lasted 13 mins). Ive contacted the ************** and they told me they only accept cash and dont handle insurance - to contact grow therapy about billing issues with insurance. Grow therapy informed me they do see the over charges and sent it to a special team. That special team would handle it in at most - a month. Its now been 2 months and theres no *** when this will be resolved. I now have another appt coming up and am torn because I anticipate another billing issue and dont have anyone at all to help. I need these billing issues rectified so Im not continuously overcharged and I can get the care I need at the price it should legally be.

  I am a therapist provider with Grow Therapy. Everything was going well until they set up 2FA and I have been locked out of my Client Portal for 2 weeks. This happened already once before and they reset it. But it happened again and I cant even submit a help request! I cannot submit invoices for clients I have seen and I cant contact customer service since I have to be in the Client Portal in order to ask for help! I am owed money for the clients I have seen and I cant contact my clients at all with no access to the portal. There is no contact information or support. I am strongly considering leaving ****.

  On 12/11 I was charged a no show . It was shown that the appointment was cancelled but I was still charged anyways. I tried to dispute the no show but the billing email is "not monitored" their chatbot was also unhelpful.

  I signed up for growth therapy because it was on my member login of my insurance company. I was able to make an account and it's very strange because it doesn't ask you for specific insurance information but makes you put a card on file. I had one Virtual appointment in which I asked the provider how does billing work? She did not know. I called my insurance company and they told me the provider has to submit a claim on the insurance website. I received an appointment reminder for my second Virtual appointment. The appointment reminder went to my email and came as a text message with a link to reschedule or cancel. I clicked the link on different days numerous times and it brings you to growth therapy's login page. I enter the email and password associated with the account and I can't login because it says either the email or password is incorrect. Since I received the appointment reminder to my email, it's not the email that is incorrect, so I tried to reset the password. When I reset the password, it says they will send a link to the email if that account exists. I did this at least seven times and never received one email. Not even in my spam folder. I called the customer service line for assistance and apparently they don't have any assistance on the weekends. I I stumbled upon a Supposedly live chat that you could find assistance with. And it doesn't allow you to enter any free text only to select from available responses and then sporadically ends the chat. All of these things combined makes growth therapy seem predatory. I also have no way of contacting my provider to let her know that I needed to change my appointment. Now I imagine there is some sort of missed appointment fee. It seems very well set up for people to miss appointments if you cannot reschedule. There's absolutely zero assistance if you need it and no way for me to even get back into my account, but they have my card information and can freely charge me for whatever

  I had an initial intake appointment yesterday with a psychiatrist. The physician who saw me was very hostile and I ended the appointment early at about 20min into the session and explained I was not comfortable seeing this person as my physician. **** **** PMHNP of Grow Therapy was the physician I saw for the appointment. Today I received a notification on a private social media app I use that this person was trying to contact me directly. I do not feel safe. This person has my personal health information and can find my private online social media. My privacy has be violated. I cannot believe a health professional would do something like this. How do they even have a license?

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  The web address that GrowTherapy provided to submit a complaint is broken/invalid. I have already sent messages previously via the patient portal. I requested to rescind my consent forms, and have yet to receive a response from the physician's team. I sent the request to rescind the forms on 12/5/2024.

  Grow Therapy has double charged my insurance twice for FIVE appointments. They keep trying to say I still owe them for these appointments when my insurance already paid them once for each appointment. I have proof with my insurance that they already took care of the original five payments. The original payments through my insurance were filed the day after my appointments and then my insurance approved them within 14 days of receiving them. Grow Therapy then charged all five appointments AGAIN in October, which is when I stopped therapy through them due to my therapist quitting Grow Therapy. They are trying to get double payments through my insurance and now through me.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  They are still charging me and have opened up three more previously paid cases before they responded on BBB. They reached out to my insurance provider and charged them more, making my insurance not enough to cover the charges. This is after over 8-10 months of these claims being paid in full by my insurance provider. I do not believe they should be allowed to open multiple claims with my insurance provider and demand them to reopen the original, settled claims. My insurance provider has had to close multiple double and triple claims now. My insurance provider has had to reopen the original claims after months of Grow Therapy's insistence and harassing behavior. They changed the original SETTLED claims and let Grow Therapy charge me more money 8-10 months AFTER the original claims were already paid in full.

  The business ignores the ethical requirements of continuity of care for clients. They try to force clients to see new providers in their platform, even when their platform has issues and clients want to be seen by alternative providers outside of their platform. Billing is always messed up, where they charge more than what they are supposed to with insurance. They also are not transparent about payment and insurance billing information. It is very difficult to get support because their only means of communication is chat, email, or being on hold for a very long amount of time. A lot of times the phone staff cannot help or doesnt know how to help. Their providers are left not being paid or able to work because of the unreliability of their electronic health records and video service. clients are left unable to access needed care due to the same reason. Theyve accused clients and providers of breech of contract when seeking outside means to complete treatment due to the unreliability of their platform. Contracts should be reinstated when contract breach is due to Grow Therapys own platform unreliability.

  I was seen by a provider on Grow Therapy, who was advertised as in-network with my insurance. I saw her three times (10/1, 10/7, and 11/5) before I started receiving the bills. I had seen two other providers in the past through Grow Therapy, and all I got charged for was the $25 copay each time. However, I was charged $300, $350, and $350 for these recent visits with my new provider. I contacted Grow Therapy and my insurance company, *****, and ***** has informed me that I was charged an out-of-network fee because my visits were billed under ********************* PA, instead of the actual provider's name. I've since contacted Grow Therapy multiple times with no resolution or response. The person I initially spoke to created a ticket to get my issue resolved, but the ticket is still not "picked up" by anyone to be worked on, and it's been a few weeks now.

  11/04/2024 Made an in person appointment with provider ******* ***** for today 11/04/2024 at 11am at the location provided when booking the appointment online. **********************************. Showed up to the appointment and no one there could locate the provider ******* *****. I called and emailed the provided information to contact her ************ and still have heard nothing back as to why she would be a "no show" to my appointment.

  Do not under any circumstances give these people your credit card information. My husband had an appointment scheduled, but he was involved in a serious accident. Trying to reach this practice was impossible; no one answered the phone. When I emailed their 'support' email listed on their website and portal, I received a returned message saying the email was not monitored. They charged my credit card anyway. How does any practice work like this? Once I finally reached a representative a week later, I explained the situation and requested a refund. The representative never responded, and no credit was issued. I have found a better online practice where, in an emergency, a live person answers your calls and responds promptly to emails. Due to the unprofessional treatment, I will make it my goal to inform every future patient that this patient portal and practice are not up to par.
