I called the doctors office to schedule an appointment to be tested for sleep apnea. I asked the front desk lady over the phone on what was the process of this entire treatment and she said the first step would be. To come in and see the doctor to get my home test kit which I would have to bring back the next morning and then it will take about 10 to 14 days to get the results and the doctor would be giving me a call with his findings. And then the doctor will give me a prescription for my mask and machine. So I scheduled my appointment and went in for my first visit and the doctor and his staff issued me a home test kit which I paid $80 out of my pocket and the insurance company paid about $320. So I took the home test kit home with me and return it the next morning to the office. Upon returning the home test kit is when I asked the front desk lady on how long will it take to receive the results of this sleep apnea home test kit from the doctor? She told me that the doctor will be going on a two-week vacation soon and that I would have to wait 30 days for him to call me back with my results which was unfair to me. I felt like they weren't transparent and they should have told me that he was going on a vacation when I scheduled my first appt, Instead of scheduling me for my first appointment and taking my money, and making me do the home test kit, and leaving me with no choice, but to wait a whole month for the results. I also asked the front desk lady if my insurance which was HMSAPPO had covered some of the cost for the home test kit because I paid $80 out of my pocket which seemed expensive for a one night home test kit and she said no that my insurance did not cover it. I told the lady that I had called HMSA and they said that it should be covered under my insurance plan and the front Desk lady was shrewd and told me it did not cover. I did not want to argue with her and so I called her billing department lady who was able to tell me that HMSA covered 80% of the $400 bill and that's why I had to pay $80 out of pocket. That explains it. So I told the billing lady that why didn't your front Desk lady tell me that my insurance did cover 80% instead of her telling me that it did not cover anything. Very unprofessional. Also I felt like they only wanted to take my money by not disclosing the Doctor would be going on a vacation right after I do my home test kit and he won't be able to get my results for a whole month. If had known that , I would've gone to two other sleep apnea doctors instead. Also, there was another lady who was explaining to me how to put on the sleep apnea test kit when I was there for the first visit and that lady told me that I would have to use the test kit for two nights in a row which was wrong because when I got to the front desk lady, she told me that I only have to use it for one night and I'll have to be returning it the next morning and so I turned to the other lady who told me to use it for two nights and she didn't say sorry for the miscommunication. I wouldn't recommend going to this doctors office, and there are other places that would be much more transparent and professional. I forgot to mention that I arrived promptly for my scheduled appointment on the first visit, and I had to wait in the lounge for about 45 minutes and then one of the staff took me in to take my vitals and asked me questions then she told me to go back outside in the lounge to wait for another 25 minutes until the doctor finally was able to see me. So I waited more than an hour. After my appointment to be seen by the doctor, who only spoke to me for five minutes and pass me onto his female staff. Take your business somewhere else if you want, professional, timely, respectful, efficient and accurate service. read more
