  I've paid the surgery prepayment fee of $436.97 to the Proliance Surgical Specialists of Edmonds on 1/6/2025. This amount included the annual deductible of $300; however, per the statement from the insurance provided, BlueCross BlueShield, the annual deductible was applier toa different bill for the facility fee. Per the statement from insurance provider, the total amount owed to the Proliance Surgical Specialists of Edmonds should've been $214.27. Therefore, I should receive a refund of $222.70 for overpayment. I have not been able to receive any resolution when attempting to contact Proliance Surgical Specialists of Edmonds via email or phone.

  Back in February 2025, my partner ******* ******** whos on my insurance, went to seek an audiologist which we found through Proliance as they claimed they were an in-network provider (Dr. ** ******** at Proliance Surgeons Audiology at ****************** Center), which I attached a conversation thread between them and UHC where this was stated. After my partner received his hearing aids and fitting appointment, everything went well until we received an enormous bill for over $2,113, even though we were originally told countless times we would only need to pay 20%, which was $1,020. Ive spent countless hours on the phone with both the doctors office and ***, and this has unfortunately become one of the most frustrating experiences Ive ever had with my healthcare.*** is now refusing to cover a $600 fitting fee, despite the fact that my plan clearly states that fitting fees are covered. When working back and forth with the First Hill ******* Center assistant ******** Audiology Technician, she stated that Proliance Surgeons and her office dont want to resubmit the claim to correct it as UHC stated to me over the phone that Dr. ******** is charging a $600 dispensing fee which isnt covered and that all they need to do is resubmit it under the correct charging code for FITTING, only to be told by ******** that her office claims They cant do that because its fraud, it doesnt make sense to me to be told that when this is THEIR mistake and theyre refusing to correct it. The hearing aids my partner got retail online through ****** for $2,399 but Proliance charged UHC total of $5,000? Only to be told by their assistant that I need to take this up with their billing department which I feel like I shouldnt even have to do due to Proliance Surgeons AU.D making the mistake. I'm now had to take the BBB route due to this and really hoping this gets rectified.

  I paid a bill off in full to collections from ******* Surgery Center via Proliance Surgeons in June of 2023. I have confirmed with collections that the bill was paid off in-full. In January of 2024, I received another bill from Proliance for the amount of ****** - this matches a line item on the bill that was previously adjusted for "bad debt write off." I have called Proliance and ******* Surgery Center repeatedly (nearly every single week since January 2024) and have not been able to reach a single person to answer why this bill suddenly appeared after it has been paid off. Proliance keeps telling me it is no longer their account since they are no longer affiliated with ******* Surgery Center, and ******* Surgery Center keeps telling me it is not under their accounts since they are no longer owned by Proliance. I have made repeated attempts to reach someone to explain this bill and have not reached a single individual who has been able to explain why I'm receiving this - yet I continue to receive a bill from Proliance each month. At this point, it seems no one knows where my account falls, which seems as though the bill is illigetimate as well.

  The complaint is about the delay of refund between the prepayment of surgery and the after insurance amount that patient is responsible for. I had a shoulder surgery on 11/1/2023. One day prior to the surgery, I was asked to make the pre-payment for the surgery over the phone. I paid the $789.05 for doctors' charge and $789.06 for the facilities charge on my credit card. Few weeks after the surgery, I received the summary of benefit from my insurance company (United Healthcare) and the amount that patient is responsible for are less than the pre-payment. The amount I am responsible for are $181.15 and $478.50 for Proliance Highland Outpatient Service (facilities), $246.19 and $34.47 for provider change. I called Proliance billing department on 12/28/2023. I was told a refund of the difference will be credit back to original payment but there is no confirmation number I can write down or record I will receive as the proof. As of 1/22/2024, I still don't receive the refund. So I made another phone call on 1/22/2024 and was told the refund was issued on 1/8/2024. I checked my credit card statement and no refund/credit received. I was told the Proliance refund department/team needs to be involved to figure out where did the money go. There won't be any refund until they know what's going on. My complaint are:1. I was told to make pre-payment before the surgery happened as it's Proliance's policy. This is really odd to collect money upfront instead of the health care provider to work with insurance for the final bill. 2. There is no confirmation letter or any record number for the refund. There is no way for a patient to trace down the status of refund or even recall the case when issue arises. I was lucky I put down the date/time of the phone call and the name I talked to so I can have him on the phone. 3. The refund process is not transparency. If a patient didn't notice he is over-paid, healthcare provider won't refund automatically.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********. A refund check is sent out today (1/25/2024) and will take 7 to 10 business days to arrive. I find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. If anything issue raised later I'll reopen the ticket.

  I want to reopen this issue ***********. 

  I received the check from Proliance Surgeons and the check amount is $400.40. This amount doesn't match the difference between pre-payment and after-insurance amount which should be $637.80.  

  I prepaid $789.06 for facilities charge and $789.05 for provider charge. The patient responsible amount (received from insurance company) for facilities are $181.15 and $478.50 (2 bills). The patient responsible amount (received from insurance company) for Dr. * ****** is $246.19. The patient responsible amount (received from insurance company) for Dr. * ******** is $34.47. So the difference (the amount to be refunded) should be $637.80 ($789.06 + $789.05 - $181.15 - $478.50 - $246.19 - $34.47).

  Also the related PO on the check is from ******* MD, **************** who is not the surgeon for the surgery. I'm worried there is a mistake on calculating the refund and where the refund came from.

  I am rejecting this response because: The business called on Friday 2/2/2024 said the person in charged of the instance was out of office and they will respond (call) the following Monday 2/5/2024. I didn't receive that phone call. It is still unclear how the business determine refund amount and the effort the patient needs to go after to get the excess charge back. The clinic's billing department should take action for their patients not the other way around.

  The business (Proliance Surgery) has a policy that refund will be applied to patient remaining balance first and then issued back to patient. This makes tracking how the refund was calculated difficult. In my scenario, I have balance ************* provider side, nursing/facility side, and physical therapy side. The refund was applied to these three sides that the itemized transaction records I received from business (after BBB involved) are bunch of credit applied to PT or applied to facility charge without clear explanation which doctor visits exactly were credited to. With the help from ****** (from Proliance), the transaction between provider and nursing/facility sides are clear. But there is still question about what PT charges the credit being applied to. I don't know who is the goto person for the answer as ****** from Proliance who provide the transaction list is not the one owning that area. 

  The policy of pre-paying the surgical and corresponding post-op visit charges is really putting patient on the frontline to fight to get the over-paying balance back. In my scenario, there is no phone call or email telling me there is refund I should claim because I over-paid the surgical charges. It took me 3 phone calls (1 month) to get the refund check. And another month (many phone calls and emails with the help from BBB) to get details on transactions used to calculate refund, then the credit and payments cannot 100 percent match (there's still holes on where credit goes).

  Surgery was 01/19/2023 The surgeon ************************* agreed to perform a surgery on my back on the date above and scheduled the surgery at a hospital operating room without my consent. The surgeon had previously mentioned they were considering the operating room but never confirmed the need or my agreement before scheduling at the hospital.When I asked about the billing, the surgeon and his office assured me my insurance would typically cover all charges other than a small copayment.They never informed me that their unilateral choice of scheduling the surgery at the hospital operating room with no obvious benefit to me would result in a charge of $1,885.72 to me at a billed rate of $2,000.00 per 15 minutes of room use alone, not including surgical, anesthesia, or other services.Providence Hospital, where the surgery was performed, confirmed there was no obvious need for the operating room via telephone call. ***** at ******************* billing was rude, dismissive, and loud on the phone, offering no response to why the surgery was scheduled at the hospital and pushing another bill from the office of the surgeon instead of responding to the questions asked.
