What could've been a 5 ***** now deserves only ONE Star!…read more
I went to Rayus for 3 X-rays (1 for each hand & 1 for my hip) - I was told that after insurance, my part was $40 - So, I paid that onsite (same day).
Everyone was very nice, and I decided right then that going forward, THIS is where we will go for our Radiology needs
Sands forward to today ...
I received a call from their billing (collection) department saying I still had a balance and to please pay online or call them.
I immediately pulled out all my paperwork and confirmed that MY portion stated "Patient responsibility is $40."
I called the location directly, talked to Lisa in Billing - she told me that they bill "per scan/procedure" - I recapped the original conversation I had that same day... she said "Okay"..... (crickets) I said "Okay, what" she said "I'll make a note" I replied, "I don't owe that... I am not paying for that because, if I had been told that was the process, I would NOT have had the scans with Rayus (I'm sure they rely on people not knowing this - it's DOUBLE $$ for them!)!
She said again, "Okay," I said, "Okay, what?"... she said, "I'll make a note that you're not going to pay it."
I asked her... "So, if I were to get an MRI with & without contrast, would it be a separate billing (to insurance) for each one?" She said, "YES"! I said, "Well, that's dishonest and unethical..." (Guess what she said?) ..... Okay... "I said, "Okay, what?" lol (I can do this all day!)
So basically, if you need more than ONE X-Ray, go somewhere that isn't trying to take advantage of you by lying about the charges!!
As I read other reviews, I see that it's mostly about billing... which supports MY review!! I'll bet their billing & collections dept is FULLY staffed!! When it's a good review, it's not a billing issue...
I am so disappointed that this turned out to be a scam-type Company ... just out to take advantage of folks needing radiology services. So much for wanting to use them in the future!
I know I am NOT the only one that this has happened to... I will never go there again! I originally planned to write a good review... but being "nice" to customers isn't the big picture!
There are SOOOOO many holes in their process... Here are a few...
1) If I had 3 X-rays, why was there only ONE invoice to ME, but multiple to the insurance Company?
2) I was quoted a cost... but they billed otherwise
3) Where's the Customer Service? "Okay," is that all you have to say to a Customer?
ALWAYS ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF... ask questions, get it in writing, get copies of what charges you are quoted! They really don't care about YOU ... you're JUST an account #.
At the END of the call, she said, "This call was recorded!!
GREAT - I hope they call me!
