Prior to visiting with my 2 kids I had their billing staff check coverage with my insurance to make sure there were no surprise charges after service. A couple months after service surprise! A huge bill with charges for services my insurance supposedly did not cover. I tried to contest the charges and was told they would resubmit to my insurance. I called and spoke with Latoya from their billing staff who informed me my insurance had covered everything and there were no further charges. Months later I receive a collections letter stating I am responsible for other charges not covered. Ridiculous. Further conversations with my insurance company reveal their billing staff did not submit claims to my insurance properly nor in a timely manner from the beginning and that's probably why they are trying to make me responsible. I thought since we checked coverage ahead of time this would have all been avoided. They are greedy and unsatisfied trying to make me pay more than the minimum or standard rate my insurance paid them.
Their billing department is clearly incompetent and continues to change their story. The latest excuse is we were "Out Of Network". At no point did they EVER inform us we were "Out of Network" or that our services would not be covered. As explained prior, this was the first thing we asked prior to the visit. After our insurance information was given they assured us we were covered for the services requested 100%. Upon the visit they again assured us our insurance covered us entirely. If at any point they would have told us our insurance did not cover us 100%, then we would have gone elsewhere, period. They are trying to cover up their billing mistakes and I refuse to be taken advantage of.
