My complaint is with the office billing manager and 3rd party billing company and not necessarily…read morewith the doctor. A relative of mine saw this doctor two times: In April 2018, for a "Welcome to Medicare" free exam and then over a year later in May 2019 for a preventive exam. Medicare denied both claims submitted because as they told my aunt when she called them, "they were coded incorrectly by the doctor's office and needed to be coded using G0402 for the Welcome to Medicare Visit and G0438 or G0439 for the other yearly exam, depending on which code is applicable." When Medicare denied both claims, my aunt and uncle contacted the office and were told to call a 3rd party biller responsible for the office's insurance claims. They called this 3rd party biller every time they received a monthly statement to explain what Medicare told them about the coding and how it should be corrected so payment could be made by insurance. The 3rd party biller took the information and referred this "up the chain of command" so that coding could be corrected by the office. Unfortunately, after several months, the last time my relatives called the 3rd party billing company they were told that the practice had been contacted but had stated that "the coding was to stay as submitted." So, of course, since the practice would not correct it, Medicare will not pay it. What makes this so frustrating is they do not understand, nor do I, why the doctor's office refuses to correct this error. Now my relatives have been forced to set up payment arrangements (or go to collections) on the amount due for the May 2019 visit, which they can ill afford. And when they asked about the April 2018 visit, they were told that the Welcome to Medicare free exam was "still pending" with insurance and had also been denied (again, due to coding). My gosh this is a free exam!!! Quite honestly, this is somewhat confusing to me. If Medicare clearly stated to my relatives that the coding submitted was incorrect and provided the correct coding information, then why would the practice refuse to correct it. I felt it was necessary to bring this to future patients' attention because this might make a difference when choosing a physician.

I had my first visit with Dr. Patel in early May. It was such a wonderful experience. In the past…read moreI had either been afraid to bring up too many things with my Doctor in fear of additional bills or I would bring them up and then have sticker shock at what a conversation about something as simple as a bee sting cost me. The business model at Fishers Direct Family Care is just different and allowed me to have an amazingly proactive conversation with my doctor without having to worry about any extra bills. I also love the convenience of knowing i can contact the office at any time for a consult that is all part of the annual fee. No more worrying if I should call or not call! Thank you Dr. Patel!

But when you gotta go, it's best to go to a place that treats you well, takes the time to listen and gets to know you as a person, not just another patient. This is that place.

The really great thing about this place is they have walk in appointments. What doctor's office has that!?!? It's a really great service, I can't imagine why more places don't do this too.

I was followed by Anna Edwards, MD, a family practitioner with Community Health Network, for a…read moreperiod of about three years until her subsequent marriage and birth of another child led to her leaving the practice to focus on parenting for a bit. I've decided to edit my review because, upon reflection, I realized that my review of her as a physician was being tainted by my concerns about the overall practice. While she certainly had an influence of practice standards, ultimately some of my negative experiences occurred as she was transitioning out. Thus, she's not really to blame. Truthfully, I loved working with Dr. Edwards. She was my second physician with the practice and I immediately felt a click with her as we shared similar personalities. She also tapped quickly into my resistance to seeking help and worked hard to build trust. I became a "priority" for her and she made it well known that if I called I was to get through and to get scheduled. There's no question that she went above and beyond with me on several occasions, though I've never been one to go to the doctor on an incredibly regular basis. She made note once of probably trusting my own opinions about my care, I liked that she was also confident enough to challenge me when necessary. By the time we did actually have a semi-emergency once, I trusted her enough to follow-up on a urology referral for which I was truly hesitant. It's difficult to get my trust and Dr. Edwards truly had it. I believed she cared and trusted her opinion. As a result, I did more follow-up and grew to feel like my follow-up care was important. It was toward the end that I struggled, moreso with the practice than actually with her. During one time when she was out, I ended up seeing another physician in the practice with whom I just plain didn't click at all. My guess is that this was around the time Dr. Edwards decided to leave, because not long after I received a letter informing me she was leaving the practice and that they didn't have anyone else to follow me. Negligently (and I complained), they referred me to four possibilities - 3 in Hamilton County and one pediatrician. I live in Lawrence and am 50. So, while I had issues with the actual practice I really valued the positive physician/patient relationship I had with Dr. Edwards. I ultimately ended up leaving Community Health Network due to the poor referrals and lack of follow-up, but I think Dr. Edward's influence helped me determine the next appropriate setting and made me better informed to find the right physician for me with whom I continue to be seen.

They have no interest in helping you actually get the care you need. After taking 2 months to get an OBGYN referral I came to my appointment only to learn that they do not accept my insurance. Please be aware this referral came from my primary phycisian who has all my insurance information, the person who set my appointment explained that I was 100% covered for what I needed, and they even prescribed medication for me to take prior to coming in. It wasn't until I was in the OB office that they started asking more questions and quickly told me that they do not accept the insurance and I would have to leave. I spoke with several people in each office that did not seem phased or concerned by this. It seems to be a common mistake and I was told to do better research in my coverage. As a patient I put a lot of trust into my doctor and medical staff to provide guidance withy healthcare. It is clear to me today, after being treated so poorly, that they are not going to be the providers I choose to see any further. After spending an hour trying to find out who was responsible for this all I have is a lot of excuses, passing on of blame, a list of other referred doctors that may or may not accept my insurance, and a lot of wasted time.

My wife, my adult son, and I remain steadfast making this our preferred provider now and as far as I can see in the future. Last December our Primary provider Dr. Daniel Crabb retired and they hired a FPN, Dana Moore, who has been seeing us for a variety of reasons. She is such a good listener and really cares about what you are saying about your ailments, even hearing everyone else every day of the week. She does not make the appointments short because of any reason, and she acts upon what you need right now. No hesitation, and if you need a specialist, she sends a referral immediately. Their other Doctors are great also, I have been to all of them for one reason or another, except the new Doctor that came on right after Dana was settled there. I give them a lot of credit. I also want to tell you if you need blood taken, their blood drawer, Julie is remarkable, and is PAINLESS, She can find veins in a heartbeat and does not fail, unlike so many people at Community Hospital North are so good at failing to find a vein. Not knocking them, but there was a time that We have asked for someone use taking blood come from the ER or one of the EMT groups to get it done. At Family Physicians, or St. Vincents Physicians group. if you wait a little while someone is getting the care that they need, just like you will. I never have ever noticed a wait that was worth talking about. They have my complete faith in treating my wife, my family, and myself. Enough said, they are great from the staff to the Doctors and Nurses. I just don't want to get sick out of town, if you know what I mean!
