12/5/24, I stand in line at the Pearl River location, alongside the rest of the town, to address a…read moresickness that is brutal. At the counter in front of me, is a cash-patient, who paid $150.00.
Upon my turn at the counter, BCBS, according to Fast Pace, requires a $40.00 co-pay, which I paid with a VISA. I pay it, see the doctor, and go on with life.
A month later (2025 / new year, new deductible) , I get a charge on that same VISA, from Fast Pace, in the amount of $211.75. In addition, an explanation of benefits statement from BCBS, implying that Fast Pace charged the insurance company well over $500.00. I thought it was $150.00; that was the case with many of the other customers that day, specifically the young lady in front of me.
I called the local office, multiple times, no answer. I called Corporate, they instruct me to call Medi-Copy. I did, and instructed them to provide all medical records and the credit card authorization form I signed. I was sent my bill and records, but not the form. Further review states, that Fast Pace is notorious of this.
So, it's just beginning. I have a meeting with the local authorities in the morning, I filed a complaint with the BBB earlier, I forwarded all the doc's to my attorney on retainer, and I intend to pursue this matter independently for a spell, just on principle.
Never again my friends, and I don't recommend anyone on earth, using such entity. Upon reading reviews of Fast Pace on a nationwide level, this is common. In fact, I haven't found anyone yet with a wonderful description. What they are doing is fraud, and I plan to start the process to resolve it.
Wish me luck
