DO NOT GO HERE, THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU! ONLY THE MONEY THEY CAN GET FROM YOU AND YOUR INSURANCE!
My PCP recommended I have a diabetic eye exam as I was diagnosed with type II in late Nov-15. Called for an appointment and specifically asked for a diabetic eye exam, which was to be fully covered by my medical insurance. Mind you I had been a previous patient, and they had my medical records. they scheduled me for an appointment in the middle of December 15.
My appointment was Horrible!!! Took over 3 hours, and at the end the doctor said he would not give me a prescription because I just started meds 2 weeks prior. Fine time to tell me that why did they not ask when I scheduled for a DIABETIC eye exam, as I said previous patient and they has my records.
So great I was told to come back in 2 weeks for my script, and that was all no other explanation. I came back in 2 weeks and ONLY had the eye reading chart and prescription given.
Then came the glasses lenses, etc. The cost was ASTRONOMICAL!! I have excellent insurance, and they wanted me to pay nearly a $1000 above what my insurance paid. I could not even afford the glasses.
Then came the bill, Diabetic eye exam WITHOUT Prescription=172.00 OUTRAGEOUS!
However this was covered by my medical insurance at 162.47 and yes they had to bill me the 9.53 difference.Crooks.
Then the best part, Because They wouldn't give me a prescription, or didn't have the brains to ask how long I was on meds before scheduling my diabetic eye exam, I had to make the return appointment at a cost of $90.00. and this took all of 10min. except for my waiting time.no further eye exams at all, spoon over the eyes, read the chart, flip the lenses, 90 bucks.
Nobody there informed me that I was going to be charged again, for this. I believed it was an extension of my first appointment.
Also now we were in a new year, deductibles that were paid now were not.
The 90 bucks now comes out of my pocket.
I have spoken to 4 people at this office trying to resolve this bill, almost 5 months later I still do not have a prescription or glasses.
Three of these people promised to call me back, NONE of them did.
The last person informed me that I was billed correctly and basically too bad that my deductibles were not met, for something that should have been completely covered.
When I expressed my distaste for this and queried her if this was really worth loosing a long time customer over her response was caviler.
In my aggravation with her and this situation I told them I wanted to pay the remaining bill, get my prescription and my medical records, and be done with them, and all she kept saying was there is a charge for MY medical records.
i WILL NEVER RETURN AND THE BBB WILL ALSO HEAR FROM ME ON THIS MATTER. read more
