The doctors were nice... But they told me I had a cyst or a lump full of fluid on the side of my knee along with a torn meniscus. They did not do a biopsy on the lump. They did however try to drain the lump twice. When it had grown so large and it was really hurting me, they tried to drain it again with no luck. I was told at that point we should move forward to do surgery. (Had they of done a biopsy they would've known it was cancer.) So we did the surgery and they removed the tumor, I mean "cyst". By the way, the meniscus wasn't torn at all. That was false. The meniscus was perfectly in tact. And because they didn't get clean margins the cancer grew back a second time, causing me to have another surgery in the same exact place to actually remove it all. But I did NOT let WCM do the second surgery, I absolutely went to a cancer specialist.
Funny that I write a review on the business and I get no reply for FOUR YEARS! And their response is, I can call and speak with a manager. I DID call and speak with a manager dozens of times in 2016 between the months of May and July.
Like I said, In April, I paid WCM my deductible because they told me I had to otherwise they wouldn't do the surgery. The Anesthesiologist submitted their billing long before WCM did, so I had to pay my deductible to them, NOT WCM. WCM is very slow with submitting their billing. Trying to get my deductible BACK from WCM was a complete nightmare. They made up many different excuses each time I called, as to why it was taking so long. At one point, they told me because my insurance hadn't paid their part in full yet, they were not going to refund the money that I had paid them. End of July, I called them for at least the dozenth time and said this has taken way too long and I wanted my money back. I told them I had reached my Out Of Pocket maximum for the year back at the beginning of July, and that they needed to refund me immediately as now they no longer have any reason to hold onto my money, legally they had to refund it at this point. The manager tried to tell me to submit proof that I owed the money elsewhere and proof that I had hit my OOP max, which she can go into my medical screen and view that. I told her I wasn't providing any proof as I know for a fact she can log in and see how much I have paid to my insurance. ANY medical place can log in and view what you need to pay, what you owe, etc. At that time they did ended up refunding me. Had I of not stayed on top of them about getting my money back, they wouldn't have cared to refund me. But once I hit my OOP Max beginning of July, they should have immediately refunded me. But nope, not until I called them to get it back. At that point, it still took weeks to get it back, so I didn't officially get my money until August.
It is absolutely YOUR responsibility WCM to refund my deductible when it wasn't yours in the first place. To try and insinuate the billing isn't your responsibility is a joke. Nice try passing the buck, but that's not going to work with me when I've experienced it first hand.
Thank you for finally apologizing though. I do appreciate that... read more
