I was seeing for a virus and I was checked for about 10-15 minutes and my insurance was charged for a 45 minute visit. I was told I was told intermountain use a code that shows as the MOST expensive visit they could possibly charge. Therefore my undiagnosed visit to this urgent care was $328.00 which is ridiculous, I actually took my daughter and they were able to identify the virus we both had.

3/13/2025. I went to the Intermountain wheelchair shop last Nov and was told the process would take a couple of months. 5 months later I had not received a call regarding my wheelchair, I called them. I got some snotty ( I Hate my job) lady who said it did not come with batteries, I told her I had batteries in my shop. I was told I could not have the wheelchair unless I bought their batteries. This is a lie, I do not need to buy batteries from them ($500.00) I spoke with the manager ***** who treated me with distain, he spoke down to me which I confronted him about, in my estimation, he is a moron. I called the ***** number to speak with a manager only to be passed around 7 times by the same operator 11:55am on 3/13/2025, she refused to give her name.

Hi, I'd like to recap an issue that I just discussed on the phone Intermountain Health.I had a baby on June 7, 2024 at Intermountain ********************************. My insurance (Cigna) denied part of the claim saying "This is not covered because your plan only covers the treatment or diagnosis of an illness or injury." Given that this was for routine baby exams, Cigna confirmed that they should be covered but that Intermountain had billed them to the wrong code. They did not include a diagnosis code. We (Cigna and I ) have reached out to Intermountain several times in attempt to get them to re-code the claims so that they will be covered, but Intermountain has failed to correct the coding. I called 2 weeks ago and had this same conversation and the Intermountain person told me that they would re-code the claims, but when I just spoke to Intermountain, they said there were no notes about that phone call at all. Intermountain keeps sending me bills saying that they are past due and will be sent to collections. I have not paid the bill because I need Intermountain to correct the claim so that Cigna will cover it and pay for it. The bill is for my daughter, for $2762.92. Intermountain said that they have put my bill on hold so that it will not be sent to collections. They also said that they will be re-coding the claims and that it will take 7-10 days to re-code and re-bill ****** Then I should receive a callback. I will expect that callback between 11/27 and 12/4.I have informed Intermountain that I am filing a claim with BBB and intend to leave it open until this issue is resolved. Thanks,*********

I filed a complaint #******** on 11/18/24. It was quickly resolved, as Intermountain Health claimed that they were resolving it and then BBB closed the complaint. Intermountain never fixed the issue though. So I am re-filing a complaint. Please help me! I had a baby on June 7, 2024 at Intermountain ********************************. My insurance (*****) denied part of the claim saying "This is not covered because your plan only covers the treatment or diagnosis of an illness or injury." Given that this was for routine baby exams, ***** confirmed that they should be covered but that Intermountain had billed them to the wrong code. They did not include a diagnosis code. We (***** and I ) have reached out to Intermountain several times in attempt to get them to re-code the claims so that they will be covered, but Intermountain has failed to correct the coding. I have now gone through this 4 times. Each time, the Intermountain person tells me that they will re-code the claims, but they never do. In November, I spoke to ****** K, who said there were no notes about that phone call at all. Intermountain keeps sending me bills saying that they are past due and will be sent to collections. I have not paid the bill because I need Intermountain to correct the claim so that ***** will cover it and pay for it. On 11/18/24, ****** said that she will be re-coding the claims and that it will take 7-10 days to re-code and re-bill ****** Then I should receive a callback. I expected that callback between 11/27 and 12/4, but it never came. I once again have a bill from Intermountain. It has changed from $2762.92 to $2467.99. I confirmed with ***** on 1/20/25 that Intermountain never re-submitted the claim with the diagnosis code. I need Intermountain to RE-CODE the claim and RE-BILL ***** so that it is covered. PLEASE HELP!! Thanks, *********

My family was involved in a major car accident on 12/13/2023. We were all treated at ****************************. Everything has been billed through our auto insurance and our health insurance. I have recieved several bills that show I owe thousands of dollars, when our explination of benefits show the patient responsilibty as $0. I have contacted the billing department and have been told it will be taken care of. I have had my insurance company contact the billing department 3 different times and they have been told it will be taken care of. It has not been taken care of and I continue to recieve bills saying I owe money. The bills are now past due and no one seems to be able to help get these bills corrected.

I am rejecting this response because: I have received zero calls from anyone in your organization. And I continue to receive new incorrect bills. Balance billing is against state and federal law. Every claim you have sent to my insurance company from the night of our car accident, has been balance billed to me. There is either an issue with your billing system that needs to be fixed, or you have people who are doing illegal things to make money off vulnerable people.

1. Fraud - Billed for care not received, IHC is not able to provide a reason or CPT code for the charges made. 2. Violation of Patient Privacy. On 7/27/24 I made a visit to St. George Regional Hospital River Road, Emergency Department. I was triaged by a nurse and when taken to an evaluation room, I discovered a security camera aimed at the bed, maintaining an unobstructed view of the entire room. When meeting with a Doctor and Nurse I explained that this camera violates my right to privacy. I asked to be seen somewhere private, without recording devices, and the Doctor denied my request for patient privacy. I was told that the cameras are not on. There is no proof otherwise that these cameras are not recording and I again asked to be evaluated privately and the Doctor denied my request. - Due to the fact that the Hospital and Doctor does not respect my right to privacy I refused care. - The Doctor never evaluated me medically, nor was any care rendered by St. George Regional Hospital. In addition, I asked if I was going to receive a bill and was told verbally that no bill is due because the Doctor rendered no medical care. Recently I was contacted by the financial department requesting my insurance information. I was also told then that no bill was due but that I should also contact the billing department. Upon contacting the billing department I was told that there is a charge of $705, however, they could not provide a reason, description, or CPT code associated with the charge. I explained the situation above, and was told that I would need to dispute this bill and given a number for patient advocacy. The advocacy personnel did hear of this, however, they will not return my calls nor have they contacted me with a resolution. - For the past week I have been deflected between departments, given misleading information and unable resolve this issue. The Hospital still can not provide a reason for this charge and continues to ignore my attempts to resolve this issue.

Intermountain healthcare is a scam. Altaview hospital billed insurance incorrectly for my emergency visit, meaning that insurance denied the claim.On top of this, I submitted for financial assistance, provided ALL of the requested information multiple times and it has sat in incomplete status for over a month. I sent the information again.. emailed and asked for an update, sent the information requested again, and still have no results or responses.

My provider sent me to the *******************************, being another Intermountain location for an MRI. Despite this test being scheduled 10 months in advance, they never submitted a prior authorization. This kickstarted a 8 month back and forth between my insurance, you guys, and myself trying to get this processed correctly. Several times IHC customer care agents shared that everything had been resolved, that this had been successfully processed in network, and there would be no further patient liability. The charges kept popping back up after this and eventually an customer care manager shared that nothing verbally shared by IHC customer care agents was binding. I eventually paid the balance outright because you guys had shared this with collections, which I found out a few days later another customer service manager that it hadn't been and that this dishonest tactic shouldn't have ever occurred. I've lost a lot of respect for IHC and your inability to process things in a timely manner or have the integrity to honor what you say you're going to do. I received heart surgery with you guys as a child and have been seen exclusively here ever since, this experience has changed the way I view IHC

I received a notice with these words in bold: This is your third and final notice. It would be in the best interest of your company that no one from **** ******** **** Suite **** in Ogden, UT attempts to reach out to me again FOR ANY REASON MOVING FORWARD. I had a horrific experience in the emergency room there and instead of your patient advocate office handling that matter as they should have I was gas lighted via mail and over the phone. Returning to this facility is not even an option. Stop killing trees and do not reach out to me again in any way, shape or form.

If you focused on the detail of the initial complaint... I did not reach out about a balance due or statement at all... I said I keep getting notices for me to make an appointment. I had a horrible experience at that facility with an emergency room doctor who made a sexual remark during an examination, the patient advocate dropped the ball when I contacted them, gas lighted me when I told them I had the interaction recorded, and I also stated that I would not be going back to that hospital for anything. I do not want anymore notices sent to any address on file. That was the nature of the complaint... not me owing any money. I know I don't owe anything. Do not contact me again by phone or mail.
