I was really hesitant even after having a recommendation from a friend to check out Bridgeway. The reviews are crazy poor. So I went treading lightly and being cynical.
Checkin process: first appt, smooth. Aside from texts and emails about the appointment, I received a call two days prior to make sure I was set, if I had any questions.
Being the beginning of the year I expected to pay somewhere along the lines of a few hundred (deductibles need to be met). Some of the reviews commented on being over charged, front staff not being forthcoming coming and deliberately over charging. First, it says in the paperwork that Bridgeway files claims as a courtesy and fees are between the patient and the business. I mean they REALLY stress that on the forms. So I did, get a weird feeling after the reviews. I asked the receptionist and she said two more visits and I knew my deductible will be met. I sat down, and another patient walks in about being overcharged. I was thinking to myself "oh my gosh the reviews are TRUE". Yikes. But,,,receptionist looked into it and said she needed to have the office manager look into as she is the one who handles this type of question. Maybe 5-10mins later the receptionist called the patient back up and said yes, you are due a refund. And took care of that. End of story.
So although I'll be watching my claims and making sure the amount paid was the correct amount I was responsible for. But I felt that it was handled appropriately.
I got good vibes with first impression after I left and was happy. Sigh of relief.
Fast forward no less than 24hrs. My local pharmacy cannot attain a particular med. even if they did, my copay was gonna be $302. I called 5 mins before closing and they moved it to a big box chain pharmacy. After looking at my mail service again, it showed that big box chain pharmacy was gonna cost $211. I called the office again letting them know that my mail service (big box) pharmacy was only gonna charge me $30 for 3 months. I called again, unfortunately because it's a new med I couldn't get 90 days. However doc went over and above as did the staff who handles this part of patient care.
I apologize for the long review but I do think it was necessary for everyone who's looking at this office for care that you get a honest up to date review.
I will also be recommending this office as my friend did. Maybe staff has changed, maybe the office took a look at reviews and made changes. I don't know, but they exceeded my expectations and I know we will be in good hands. read more
