I needed attention for a wound caused by a tick bite, and I'm a Medicare patient. I made an appointment for this CVS Minute Clinic for the first (and last!) time.
A 20 minute visit and an unfilled prescription for an antibiotic was almost $500! After Medicare examined the billing, they refused to pay almost $150! Minute Clinic and CVS would not give me a copy of the bill - I asked three times, and three times I was sent the "statement" - NOT THE BILL.
I got an abbreviated copy of the bill sent to Medicare, which showed items were billed that had NOTHING to do with my visit. It was just made up stuff designed to "pad" the bill.
Not even a doctor, but a "Physicians Assistant"!
CVS has refused to respond to my complaints. Even worse. read more
