Scammy billing practices!
IF YOU HAVE MEDICARE AVOID FRIDAY PT!
I have Medicare with a Cigna suppliment that covers 100% except my annual medicare deductive.
I was stunned when I received an invoice sent to me instead of Medicare\Cigna. I questioned it, requested they send it to my insurance and received the following response. " This fee is our annual supply and admin fee, for services not covered by insurance.".
Medicare requires the medicare approved business pre-disclosure and get EXPLICIT permission for "EACH item\service" that is not covered by Medicare. Apparent they think some-sort of generic statement in the online documents you are forced to sign covers it. I contacted Medicare! I had to cancel all my appointments after I received this invoice since legally I'm now aware and don't approve of this sort of scammy business practices. If she thinks Medicare does not pay enough then she should not accept Medicare clients.
Allyson Friday is a decent PT, however, she is also not the most professional during session. She took 1 phone call and 2 texts from her children as they apparently regularly contact her as soon as they get back from school. I have empathy and respect for the role of mothering, however, if she cannot devote a session to her client at the time her children return home from school, she should not schedule one during that hour.
Some other issues:
~ I filled out all the medical question well in advance of my first visit. At my first visit she asked why I was there. I suggested she read the forms I filled out since she had not. She read them when I asked her to.
~ She is kind and caring in person, however, her ability to communicate clearly which muscles etc she wants me to use is not good compared to other PT's I've worked with.
Anyway, I sadly cannot recommend this business and if you have Medicare for insurance AVOID this Friday Physical Therapy. read more
