The billing department submitted two claims for the same office visit, resulting in my insurance company charging me my copay twice. Mistakes happen, but what was most disappointing was the complete lack of follow-through when I tried to get the error corrected. I made several attempts to resolve the issue. Phone calls were not returned, a scheduled call never happened, and despite repeatedly explaining the situation, the billing department was uncooperative and failed to resolve what should have been a relatively simple billing error. I would have expected the clinic to take responsibility for its mistake and work with me to correct it. Instead, I was left having to repeatedly chase the billing department for something that was not my error. The care I received from the clinic was good, but the billing department needs significant improvement in communication, responsiveness, and customer service. Good medical care should be accompanied by competent and responsive administrative support.

Overcharged Copay & Inability to Verify Insurance--Requesting Manager Follow‑Up…read more I had a scheduled appointment today, Sunday, June 29, 2025, at 9:20am at Physicians Immediate Care on Northwest Highway in Chicago. I checked in early, pre-registered as usual, and was promptly informed by the front‑desk receptionist that my copay would be $60. I reminded her that under my Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance (BCBS PPO), my copay is actually $20 for primary care and $30 for specialists. She admitted that her system couldn't verify insurance on a Sunday, calling it "wonky with BCBS," and stated that they must charge me $60 upfront, with a promise of reimbursement later. When I asked them to bill my insurance directly, she spoke with a colleague and insisted billing in advance was impossible. As someone with 17years of experience working in a physician's office, I've never encountered a situation where a provider refuses to bill insurance and overcharges based on a system glitch. This appears to me to be potentially fraudulent. How is it compliant to: 1. Overcharge me for a copay you know is incorrect? 2. Guarantee reimbursement, yet refuse to bill my insurer? 3. Turn me away from care based on a "system" limitation? I've visited this clinic several times--including on Thursday of this week--and was never charged extra or refused service. I feel dismissed and unjustly billed today. Legal Protections & My Rights 1. Illinois Surprise Billing Protections Illinois law (Public Act 96‑1523) prohibits balance billing for insured patients receiving care at in-network facilities. Providers can only collect your in-network cost-sharing amounts, such as copays, coinsurance, or deductibles--not arbitrary or inflated charges . 2. Federal No Surprises Act (2022) Similarly, this law safeguards patients from surprise billing in emergencies or when treated at in-network facilities by out-of-network clinicians. While urgent care doesn't fall under "emergency," your copay still must match the in-network agreed amount -- and your insurer pays the rest . 3. PPO Contract & Illinois Statute Under PPO agreements and Illinois statutes, providers may only charge up to the negotiated in-network co-payment, deductible, or coinsurance--not exceed it or delay insurance claims without justification(). 4. BCBS Illinois Verification Requirements Providers are contractually bound to verify insurance eligibility and benefits prior to service . To refuse billing your insurance on the basis of a "Sunday system issue" is unacceptable and contrary to these standards. What I Am Requesting * A manager from Physicians Immediate Care or BCBS liaison to contact me within 24 hours to: 1. Explain why I was unable to receive care and billed incorrectly. 2. Correctly bill BCBS for my visit and adjust my out‑of‑pocket to the proper copay of $20. 3. Provide assurance this situation won't recur. Under federal and state law, consumers are never allowed to waive their protections or be subject to inflated balance billing . Next Steps I Will Take * File a complaint with the Illinois Department of Insurance and the Federal No Surprises Help Desk if I don't receive a satisfactory resolution . * Consider contacting BCBS Illinois Provider Services to confirm they received any legitimate claims tied to my visit . I've been a loyal patient and returned most recently just last Thursday without issue. It's disheartening to be turned away and overcharged today. I expect professional resolution and respect for my rights under the law. Please call me to rectify this matter promptly.

The pill did nothing for me so I called my PP and within minutes he sent over an RX to my local pharmacy for Paxlovid. The meds worked great and was back to normal within a few days. Visit #2 - I had a bad infection. The NP at the clinic determined it was a viral infection and I would need to tough it. A few days after my visit the infection got worse so I called my PP for a same day appointment. After doing the same basic tests as the NP my doctor determined it was a bacterial infection and wrote an RX for Z-Pak. The Z-Pak worked wonders and I was back to normal within 48 hours.
