I absolutely hate the people they hire to work at the front desk. They are nice, but it is clear that you do not need an education to work here.
I have been to this clinic probably about two times. The first time I went, they messed up.
I provide my insurance information every single time. Some how, they cannot get it straight who my insurance is. It always reverts to some major insurance company that I am not enrolled in. Clearly, no phone calls are made to verify insurance. They really don't care.
I did not receive a bill for my visit for a couple of months. As though this was my fault. I had to call them to ask where my bill was as I diligently pay for them. They told me that they sent the claim and was waiting to hear back from the insurance. It turned out that the claim was sent to the wrong insurance company. They cleared that up and sent me the bill and I paid it all in full.
I went to them a couple of weeks ago and I had to deal with someone who was not bright yet again. She told me that they were out of network (they are not out of network) and that I had to do a self pay.
This really hacked me off because I have been here before without incident. I told her that I did not have enough to do a self pay. She suggested to go to the emergency room. This made me more livid. I told her that that is even more expensive and I also told her that she basically turning patients away who need care. She told me that I was making things up and turned me away.
So, I had to waste gas and go to my boyfriend for money. When I returned, this not so bright lady told me that I could just give the receipt to my insurance.
WRONG!! You cannot just give your receipt to the insurance. I know because I work for the insurance company that I provided!! You need medical codes in order to process a claim. I even gave it to my insurance and he told me that I need a HCFA form. I called CareNow's billing department and was told I had to wait 72 hours. When I called them again, they claimed that they were mailing this to me. It has been probably over two weeks and I have not seen anything in the mail!!
The doctors are hit and miss here to. When I visited a couple years ago, I was provided the incorrect diagnosis for my eyes. This recent visit was pretty good. They helped me with my worries and told me that I had an ear infection. I was sent on my way with a prescription that helped me! Thank-you for that!
I would only suggest CareNow because their self pay is more affordable. However, the people who work at the front desk are not very intelligent, the management does not follow up when you submit a complaint, and the billing department is not prompt. read more
