Overall Feedback:
Like many other people here, they fraudulently charged me for an office visit when it should have been $0 for a preventative visit. Red flags went up, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt when I received the surprise inflated bill a few weeks later. ....After paying a $30 copay. >>I already realized they charge higher than average $$ for the area, but was willing to overlook that for a high quality of care. This visit included no treatment, however, and should have been $0 to me, via insurance << Unfortunately they are refusing to correct this error, so their actions are intentionally unethical.With new insurance in hand, I went in for a preventative visit to find a new doc and tell her my medical history. So if an issue does arise, it would be easier to see her for treatment. Based on a few sketchy billing-related yelp reviews, I went in hyper alert, and told literally every person I interacted with that I had no new issues, and I was only there for a preventative visit. I also voiced my concern about one particular yelp complaint where a person went in for a visit, got booked with another doc, but they didn't tell her the 'other' doc didn't take her insurance...and received an outrageously high bill weeks later. She reassured saying that would never happen (but it did before), and that they would make sure to schedule me with someone who did take the same insurance if I needed to see someone while she was out.The appointment itself was actually fine; I left with high hopes of having found my doctor for the foreseeable future. When discussing my history, the doc offered to refill a few prescriptions. I said I was good on one, but sure go ahead and write 2 of the 3 for now (no urgency). I would not have requested these refilled without her offer.Because of her suggestion to refill, which I now believe to be intentional shiftiness, they tried to charge $300 for the brief preventative visit. After a bunch of back and forth, I'm done giving them chances. We can resolve this legally. It seems especially strange that they are refusing to correct this given (a) how relatively small in the grand scheme of medical billing this is and (b) this is easily disprovable: I have the past records, and my insurance company agrees with me. It is rare when your insurance company is the good guy...but they are willing to fight for me on this.Integrity is huge for me, so when people boldly try to take advantage of others using the already complicated health industry, it drives me mad. If they are willing to do this to me, what other shady things are they pulling?! I was hoping that it was a mistake, and they would fix it on their end. Still stressful and time consuming, but fine. But alas.I plan to file complaints with the attorney general, department of health, etc. And will also pursue this legally. They owe me my $30 back.Don't trust these people. They have no qualms being unethical.
