PLEASE WATCH YOUR BILLS WHEN DEALING WITH THIS COMPANY.
I…read morewas referred to this practice because we thought I was going to have to have surgery on a broken foot. I had two broken bones. My first appointment was August 13, 2024. Soon after, I received a bill. Upon reviewing the bill, I realized that they had charged me twice, for an amount of $1949.00, for surgery. AGAIN, THIS WAS MY FIRST VISIT. After calling NUMEROUS TIMES (at least 10), I was able to speak with someone. I told her that I had been charged, two times, for a procedure/surgery that I didn't receive. This woman asks me, "Are you sure you didn't have surgery"? I reminded her that it had been my first visit. She said she'd handle it.
I feel like it is also important to note that on top of the $3898.00 for surgeries that never happened, I was also charged $294 for x-rays and another $1463.00 for a new patient visit. So, this was not a cheap visit; even without the charge for the surgeries.
A few weeks later, I get another bill. I believe it was for the EXACT AMOUNT of the previous bill. This time, instead of charging me twice for surgery, they replaced it with a billing code of 28470 (Treat Metatarsal Fracture), for the EXACT SAME AMOUNT THAT I'D BEEN CHARGED FOR SURGERY. Again, I was charged this amount TWICE. I did some research, and I don't believe that this is correct.
So, I called the 855 number, for billing, listed at the bottom of the bill. I really don't believe this call center is in the United States. There was a huge language barrier, and I've spoken to several people here, and they know as much about billing as I do. I believe I spoke with three different people in this call center. I ended up wasting about an hour.
Eventually, I started calling the office again. I've had to call them NO LESS THAN EIGHT TIMES. This is a low-ball estimate, because I don't want to exaggerate. I was finally able to get in contact with someone (a manager) on Wednesday October 23, 2024, after my 6th call of the day.
I explained the situation to her, in its entirety. She said she understood. It was late Wednesday afternoon, and she promised to call, with a solution, on the next day. I asked her if she was sure and told her that she could take more time if needed. She ASSURED me that she would call me back the next day, which would have been Thursday October 24, 2024. Needless to say, I didn't receive a call. I called them, again, on Friday October 25, 2024. I was told that she was in a meeting, and that they would have her call me back. It is now after 5:30 on Monday October 28, 2024, and I've still yet to receive a call. I'm now over it and considering hiring an attorney.
