The New Medical Spa, located at 2235 Old Brick Rd, Glen Allen, VA 23060, for deceptive business practices, unauthorized billing, and failure to obtain informed consent.
On my initial visit, I presented for a single service only. During check-in, I was instructed to download and use a mobile application. At no time was I clearly informed--verbally or in writing--that I was enrolling in a recurring membership program or authorizing ongoing charges. I did not knowingly consent to any such agreement. The individual assisting at the front desk (identified as the physician's spouse) failed to disclose any material terms, including the existence of a membership, recurring fees, or cancellation requirements.
I visited the facility approximately six/eight times and did not return thereafter. Despite my discontinuation of services, the business continued to charge my Health Savings Account (HSA) card, resulting in unauthorized charges exceeding $2,000. These charges were made without my knowledge or express authorization. Additionally, I have serious concerns regarding whether these services were eligible for HSA billing, raising further questions about compliance with applicable financial and healthcare regulations.
Upon discovering the charges, I contacted the business to dispute them and request a refund. The business has refused to accept responsibility, failed to provide adequate documentation of any alleged authorization, and declined to issue a refund.
Further, during my visits, I experienced what I would characterize as undue pressure to undergo additional procedures that did not appear medically necessary, raising concerns about the business's ethical standards and professional conduct.
Based on the above, I believe this business has engaged in:
* Deceptive and/or misleading enrollment practices
* Failure to obtain informed consent for recurring financial obligations
* Unauthorized billing and potential misuse of HSA funds
* Unfair and unethical business practices
