I scheduled an appointment at Lithia Springs location after receiving a referral for dry needling. Once I arrived, I was told no one at that location does dry needling, despite it being the referral, it but they can go ahead and process me and get you set up for an appointment elsewhere. ******** proceeding to complete my initial evaluation. The next week, I had an appointment at Windy Hill only to find out I was billed for a visit in which I wasted my time and resources to get to in which the referred services were not provided, hence why I have chosen not to return because the business tactics seem misleading at best. Shortly after, I received an email survey about my experience and shared the same concerns while requesting a follow up regarding this situation; it never occurred. What you did was send me a bill on 11/1/2023, more than a month later, for the Lithia Springs visit as previously stated for $25 and billed my insurance $265 for a consultation after I wasted my time, especially since the therapist at Windy Hill noted she had to redo my assessment because the previous therapist erroneous uploaded a ton of exercises and etc to my action plan that according to her, didn’t make sense. Sent this complaint directly to the company. **** ******** on 11/12/2023. He advised someone would respond in 3-5 business days via email per my ADA accommodation request. This was not done. Sent a follow up nearly a month later and they refuse to respond.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: I have provided that an ADA Accommodation needed to be made for email only in both my complaint and my follow-up with the company. Select Medical” is stating they will “write down the balance is NOT the correspondence received from the manager who stated “everything was done to protocol” as shown below, even acknowledging “that he is sorry he didn’t respond” so how did the make “several attempts” to resolve this? As of today, my balance still appears to be the same as when I filed the complaint.

Billing nightmare. Impossible to get refund due. Billed me when my copay was $0. Have been calling repeatedly to get my refund and main office makes internal mistakes over and over resulting in further delays. Took them :30 seconds to erroneously bill me, impossible to get refund due. Beware, Phoenixville PA location billing should be monitored very closely for irregular practices.Business Response

On April 21,2023 I received a bill from Select PT advising I owed $66.01. I immediately called and spoke with ******* who advised me I had a zero balance on said account no: *********. I then was sent a letter from Select PT informing me that I have been removed from collection. On May 17, 2023 I was sent another letter from Select PT , another bill for $66.01. I called again and was advised that I have a zero balance spoke with ****** and **** who advised this was for a different account. That acct *********. I sent payment on 5-22-23 in the amount of $66.01. Today I received another letter from their collections advising I HAVE a 74.00 outstanding balance for a D/O/S 3/11.22. I called their billing dept and was advised that this account being ********* has a zero balance. That in fact the $66.01 was an overpayment. I asked why have I not been refunded that $66.01, the said it would take 8 weeks for this refund. This company has done this to me 2x already and enough is enough. I have excellent credit and for them to be sending letters to innocent people is outrageous.Business Response

I am receiving repeated bills in the amount of $180 from May of 2022 which has been paid and the check was cashed by ********. These bills sometimes come with threats to be turned over to a collection agency if not paid. I have contacted customer service multiple times and they claim to straighten it out but I keep getting bills. It is harassment at this point. My account has two different numbers which for some reason they can't seem to correct.Business Response

****************** stated he had one account with two account numbers. He actually has 2 accounts.
********* - He started treatment on 2/28/22 for his right knee/ankle/foot and concluded that treatment on 4/25/22 with a total of 16 visits ($30 copay = $480 patient responsibility).
********* - He started treatment on 5/11/22 for his low back pain and concluded treatment on 5/26/22 with a total of 6 vists ($30 copay = $180 patient responsibility).
Attached I have detailed each account with the dates of service, insurance payments and discounts, copays paid and copays due.
I believe ****************** is confused because there are definitely 2 accounts due to different authorizations being needed. He paid a total of $180 on account ********* but I believe he thought that would cover the $180 due on *********.
****************** had a total of 22 visits; which would be $660.00 and paid $480.00, leaving the remaining balance of $180.00. As you can see by the attached spreadsheet, all of his payments are accounted for and applied in chronological order.

I has knee replacement in March of 2021, and was employed and covered by **************** I was getting PT for knee, under Doctor ******* Continuation of PT was joint between therapist and doctor, and all visits were at request of doctor. In 2023, after retirement and change to ********* I started getting bills for my PT. The days in question were in the middle of therapy, before release of the doctor. I contacted *****, and was told that it was incorrect bill coding. I have tried to contact ************************************** (known to me as Select Physical Therapy) multiple times, and unable to make contact with a person. Requests for callbacks have not been made, and in 6 months have not been able to speak to a person to request rebilling with correct coding.I am now being threatened with Collection, for a balance due of $196.00.

Please note that the balance of $196.00 was denied by the patient’s health insurance, ***** as a result of no authorization and should have been adjusted off.

I was referred to Select Physical Therapy in ******** by my doctor who felt I had sciatic pain. No tests were run to diagnose, so I was skeptical. Select called multiple times after they received the referral and I finally decided to give it a try. At my first appt, 10-3-22, I spoke to both the front desk person and the therapist about the cost of PT since I've never had it before. Neither seemed to know and the front desk just said that it's likely $25-$30 co-pay. During my first session, I let my therapist know my concerns that I didn't feel this was sciatic pain and she agreed. Her response was something along the lines that if insurance is willing to pay for it, then she's happy to treat it regardless. The second visit and each visit after there was no mention by the front desk or therapist about a co-pay or balance due. On or around my fifth visit, I started experiencing severe ******* horses/leg cramps in the same leg that was being treated. I let the therapist know of my concerns, that whatever she's doing isn't making it better but making it worse. These ******* horses were new, and began happening almost daily. On my last and ninth visit, I made it clear I would not be returning. As I suspected and as the therapist told me, I did not have sciatic pain. Months go by and on 3-29-23, I received a bill for $961.84. I called the billing **** on 3-30-23 and asked about these charges. They told me to contact the facility in ********, which I did. They redirected me back to billing.I was employed in Oct 2022 and am no longer employed as of 2-3-23. Because I don't have income, I asked for financial assistance. I was told that because I had income last year that I will have to pay the full amount even if it's a little here and there. I can't afford $1K.There is a law called 'No Surprises Act' and what happened to me is a prime example. Staff should have been upfront about the cost of PT. I shouldn't see an enormous, inflated bill six months later.Business Response
Date: 04/24/2023
I have attached 4 pieces of documentation:
Referral from physician stating to treat the patient for sciatica
Initial Evaluation report from physical therapist to physician
EOBs from ******* ** that they processed the claims on 3/15/23, applying $814.72 to patients deductible for 2022 that was not met, $147.12 applied to the patients 20% coinsurance for the total of $961.84 patient responsibility.
Notification of patient responsibility for copayments/co-insurance % and deductibles form and the patients signed statement of financial responsibility.
************ ****** was treated in accordance with the referral for sciatica received from her physician by our in-network Physical Therapist; who is required to follow the physicians referral/diagnosis for treatment. A report was sent to the referring physician after the patients initial evaluation. At the time of her initial evaluation, we verify benefits as a courtesy. The patients insurance plan has a $1000 deductible, of which $821.29 was not met at the time of treatment, which means the patient is responsible for paying that out of pocket before her insurance will start paying anything towards her medical claims. In addition, once the deductible is met, she has a 20% coinsurance. The Surprise Act does not apply in cases of in-network providers. The Surprise Act is to prevent patients from not knowing that they are being charged out-of-network billing due to seeing a provider that is out-of-network without their knowledge. She was treated by an in-network physical therapist and her insurance processed the claims at her in-network benefit level, which included her deductible. The patient did attend 9 physical therapy visits as prescribed by her physician. She discontinued therapy at that point.
************ ****** was treated as prescribed by her physician and attended 9 visits. Her insurance processed her claims according to her deductible and in-network benefit level. On 3/30/23 she contacted the billing office regarding the statement she received and was offered a liberal payment plan of 12 months at $81.00, which she declined. ************ ****** received the treatment according to her physicians referral and attended 9 visits. The balance is the patients responsibility as assigned by her insurance company. I would extend the payment plan to $50/month for 20 months (19 payments of $50 and 20th payment of $11.84).

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:The therapist, on day one, did not believe I had sciatica but she would treat it regardless if insurance is willing to pay for it. I asked before therapy was even started what the cost would be. No one was able to provide that information even though you seem to know. If I had a $1K deductible, then I should have been informed well before my first bill almost six months later. Nine appts of unnecessary and overpriced treatment that I didn't need and the therapist admitted wasn't going to help me.
I will pay the bill in full, never use or recommend your company to anyone, and leave appropriate feedback on **** and BBB so others know what they're getting into BEFORE they start treatment at one of your facilities.

My complaint is in regards to Select Medical Corporations billing department. I was originally charged $160 ($80 each) for two Physical Therapy sessions at their Pearland, TX location on October 20th and 25th, 2022 that my insurance company, *************, completely covered. I contacted Select Therapy billing on November 29, after my EOB showed that I did not owe anything for those two sessions. I was told I needed to wait until I finished all PT sessions. This occurred on December 28, so I again emailed/notified the billing department. Finally, on January 27th, I was refunded a partial refund amount of $60. I emailed again on February 5th that I only received $60 of the $160 I was owed, and the response stated that once everything was resolved the remaining $100 would be refunded to me. Nothing happened. I have since emailed them again and received an email that said I would be contacted in 2 to 3 business days, but I was not contacted. I have not received the remaining $100 owed to me as of today, April 3, 2023Business Response

To whom it may concern,
After reviewing the account, it was determined the patient is due a refund of $127.46.
I left a voicemail for the patient on 04/12/2023. If the patient has not responded by the end of day Friday to confirm her preferred method of refund, we will initiate a check to be issued to the patient. The patient has my direct number for any additional concerns.
