The patients account was sent for a coding review 06/11/2023. It was determined that the medical records supported the codes used to bill the patients insurance.
The insurance was billed $986.00 for this visit. They paid $150.89. Banner reduced the bill by $282.94 per our contract with the patients insurance. Per the insurances Explanation of Benefits, the patients responsibility was $40.00 for his copay and $512.17 that they applied to his deductible.
The patient paid his $40.00 copay at the time-of-service.
Banner billed the patient for the remaining $512.17 on 11/12/2022, 01/07/2023, 04/19/2023, 06/22/2023, 08/07/2023, 09/27/2023. When payment wasnt received, his account was forwarded to collections.
The patients payment of $512.17 posted to his account on 11/10/2023 bringing to a zero balance.
The coding was determined to be appropriate per medical records. The account balance is $0. There are no changes to be made to coding - nor credits to refund.

I was there only for an elbow X-ray and nothing else. Was no elbow immobilization of any kind.
The doctor and all his staff ( ******** and *****) confirmed that nothing other then a elbow X-ray was done in the visit.
Several email exchanges with ******* ( former employee) and ***** confirming that I was charged incorrectly.
Again, nothing else other then a simple elbow X-ray was done. I was there for literally 20 minutes and left.

The medical documentation supports the charges on the account.
If the patient can provide copies of the emails that he referenced, Banner can investigate his concerns further.

I have been trying for over a year to curl correct a medical bill that Banner bill incorrectly. I have called them several times with and without my insurance company on the phone with me confirming that my bill is supposed to be much less than what they are billing me. They have had the correct explanation of benefits since July and I have talked to them multiple times since then and keep being told that they are going to fix the balance, instead they have sent me to collection and messed up the bill even worse to where instead of owing $600 they show me owing $3000 which is the entire out-of-pocket *** that my insurance has in a year that I had a baby prior to this, so I shouldve had very little left on my deductible. I was told they would pull back the collection from the collection agency while we were trying to figure this out since it was an error on their side and that was months ago so I thought that the medical collection was pulled back but in reality instead of having a whatever hundred dollar Collection I just had a $3000 collection show up on my credit report and drop my score 70 points. Once again say they will send it to the office that handles it and it will be fixed within 45 days but Ive been told that 2 to 3 times already and I just dont know what to do at this point. If it is too hard to bill the correct amount, change it to $0.

The patient's account was forwarded for review. The account has been adjusted per the Explanation of Benefits.

Because the guarantor was aware of the balance stated on her EOB - and made no payments toward that balance - the account will remain in collections.
She can negotiate suitable payment arrangements with the agency. Banner will advise the agency of the updated balance.

I want this taken out of collections. I was not given a correct bill. This prevented me from creating a payment plan or negotiating a lower total lump sum payment, which are both practices Banner (and all other medical bills) allow.

Management has approved removal from collections. Once account is active, ********************** will send the guarantor an updated bill. She will be able to set up payments on her balance.

I was told if I pay the bill for my hospital stay I would receive a 25% prompt pay discount. I wrote 2 checks totaling $42,389.93 from my hospital bed. I asked for a detailed bill. The detailed bill which I received a couple of days later adds up to $53,******. On the top of the bill it says 25 SELF PAY PROMPT PAY DISCOUNT 0025 When I take 25% from $53 ****** it leaves $39,914.70 which means I paid $2475.23 too much and would like it refunded. I phoned and was told I would get called in a week. i heard nothing. I called again and was told to wait 30 days. Again nothing. I phoned and was told they were putting it to upper management and I would get a reply within a week. Again nothing. I phoned this morning and was told she is putting it to her supervisor and they should get back to me within 30 days. I need the money to pay some more Dr. ***** and feel I have waited long enough.My acct. # is ************.

I had a medical procedure in August 2023 at Banner University Medical Center. I received my first bill statement from Banner Health in September. I informed them that I could not pay the bill based on the 6-month payment terms offered on their website. I agreed to pay $185/month on a payment plan. I made the first payment on November 16th. The payment was not credited against the payment plan. It was completely misapplied. I called and informed **************** that the payment was misapplied. I was told that the payment went to doctors charges. I explained that all of the charges from my procedure were supposed to be added to the total bill I was paying under the payment plan. I was told that this issue would be resolved. I made additional payments in November and on December 27th, 2023. All of the payments were misapplied (screenshot enclosed).I called in early January and spoke with **************** again. They told me they would perform a records check and contact me with the results. No one called. I checked the account and the balance was changed to zero (screenshot enclosed).The next statement I received was in February 2024 and it was noted on the website that the bill would go into collections. I called **************** again and informed them that I was waiting for the records check results. I was told that I could reinstate the payment plan. I explained that my circumstances had changed and that I couldnt pay the $185/month and requested a smaller amount. I was told that a manager would get back to me. No one called. I called **************** again on March 5th and was told I could apply for hardship, but it would take ***** days to process. I asked what would happen to my account. I was told the account could not be paused while I was going through hardship so it could go into Collections. I asked again for a manager and was told a manager would call me. I asked when will I receive a call, they said they couldn't provide a time.

The Total Patient Balance shown at the top of Banner statements can be made up of multiple accounts as was the case with this statement.
When a patient sets up a monthly-payment-plan on the Total Patient Balance, the payment will be disbursed among the accounts on the statement.
The patients 9/21/2023 statement included three accounts (detailed on page 3 of the statement):
         ID: *************** for hospital
         ID: ********** for physician
         ID ********** for physician
The patients payments were disbursed to these accounts.
The total number of payments that Banner can set up on monthly-payment-plans is determined by the Total Patient Balance.
The patient was set up on a 24-month payment plan the maximum number of payments available to our patients. Banner must remain consistent with the payment plans that we offer to all our patients. We cannot reduce the patients monthly payments without extending her payments beyond the 24-month maximum.
Banners Financial Assistance Program has helped many of our patients reduce their balance. The patient can obtain a financial assistance application by visiting bannerhealth.com or by calling ************.

I was not informed that my payments would be disbursed among 3 separate accounts. I was told that it would be attached to the total balance.
I would like one of the following options for a resolution:
1. Combine ALL of my accounts into one balance to avoid any misapplications of payments and reinstate my payment plan of $185 beginning April 15th, 2024 to allow me sufficient time to make arrangements to begin payments again. OR
2. Place me on a payment plan with the payments extended to 36 months.
3. Allow me to apply for Hardship and postpone any collection activity on the account for 60 days to allow of submission of the paperwork and processing.
Thank you.

The patients payments were applied to her total balance. The total balance was comprised of three accounts. When she paid towards her total balance, that payment was disbursed among three accounts that made up her total balance.

Banner set up a 24-month payment plan. 23 months at $185.37 and $185.30 on the last month. Her first payment is due 04/15/2024.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********.
I will accept this payment plan on the condition that the payment are posted correctly. If in the future if the payments are incorrect, I will cease from making payments.
I will wait for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved.

My aunt, *******************************, was taken to Banner Baywood on 5-FEB-2024 after she fell and broke her ankle. She had her cell phone upon arriveal to the ** at Banner Baywood in ****. Before leaving the emergency room the hospital lost her cell phone. Yes the hospital lost her cell phone, not my aunt. They took her stuff and misplaced only the phone. My aunt is 81 years old, she needs a way to contact someone if she needs help. This happened before, with my dad in 2021, he went to Banner Desert on *************, lost his phone, yet the nurse was able to text me. Lost his phone but after about 15 days in the hospital where they refused to let us talk to him, they faced time us with HIS PHONE so we could watch them murder him. He too fell and only wanted to rule out a broken bone. Instead they murdered him. The cirminal politicians in office in the state of arizona though refuse to investigate. I know GOD will eventually remove them from society in a harsh swift manner. Back to my aunt, she is 81 years old, they lost her phone, it was present in the hospital a day or so after they lost it (found through a find a phone feature), then it must have died. Then whichever employee stole the phone inactivated the service. It was a black ******* flip phone style with a hard plastic see through case. It had all her contacts on it, her only way to call 911, She was moved to ******* to recover from her injury, and on Friday, March 1st, ******** told her she would be going home on Sunday because they were no longer covering her care. She is in NO WAY ready to return to her home, no one is there to care for her, I live out of state. She has a broken ankle that she had surgery on. Her phone was hijacked from the hospital, and ******** is going to put her on the curb tomorrow to find her own way home with a broken ankle. Is this how Arizona treats their senior citizens? Well I guess so, after all you all did allow the INTENTIONAL MURD** OF MY FATH**. NOW i have to worry about what they plan to do with my aunt and other relatives that live down there? Is this bidenomics? AZ is now following the evil pattern California and hollyweird is following. I pray to GOD daily that these evil people are removed from society, and with a harsh stiff punishment. There is power of prayer, trust me. I expect someone to furnish my aunt with a suitable replacement to the phone they intentionally hijacked. It is a senior citizen thing they have gotten into the habit of doing. The Banner health care system is criminal, they should be shut down. I will NEV** forget the blatat intentional murder of my father and the criminal politicians involved with it. Dont' think for a second you all won't be caught.

I reject their response as Banner Health ************************** has the phone, they know they took the phone, and a whistleblower has since told me they just keep them, strip them, and sell them. They intentionally murdered my father and thought they could get away with that too, but more whistleblowers are coming forward as to what really happened. They owe my aunt a phone, and I expect them to provide one or the one they intentionally took. Banner Health cannot be trusted with anything.

I had a medical procedure on Dec14,2022. Banner Health made several mistakes sending to the insurance company. I paid a bill from Banner Health, that later was discovered that I overpaid. Banner Health has acknowledged that I overpaid. On Nov.23,2023 they said it would take 30 to 45 days to issue me a refund. I never received a refund. On Jan 4, ****, I called, and they said the same thing, it would take 30 to 45 days to issue a refund. I called them on feb,12,****. To find out where the refund was., they still have not issued the refund. I told them that on the 18th of Feb was 45 days and that I would file a lawsuit against them.

I had an outpatient surgery performed at Banner Thunderbird Hospital on 7/7/23 which was pre-authorized and approved by my insurance company. Banner Hospital billed my insurance for their portion of the procedure (surgeon and anesthesia claims were processed with no issues). Banner's claim has been denied twice by insurance for improper coding. I have spoken with supervisors at insurance and they have stated that the coding denial is because Banner is coding the surgery as an INPATIENT procedure. It was authorized as an OUTPATIENT procedure. The surgery was performed on an OUTPATIENT basis as authorized. I arrived at the hospital at 6:00AM and was gone by no later than 1:00PM. I was never admitted to the hospital, never stayed overnight. This coding error is clearly noted on the EOB's I have received. I have spoken with insurance several times and they indicate that all claim resubmissions by Banner have never changed the coding. They keep resubmitting the same bill with no corrections. I have made several calls to insurance and obtained a direct provider service phone number and an internal claim number which I have provided to Banner for them to contact insurance to straighten out the matter. They have never called insurance and insist that their coding is correct. Banner has now changed my claim to a self pay status is is billing me for the surgery. I have already pre-paid $2,848.09 toward my estimated portion and they are now billing me for an additional $8,724.58 as a self-pay balance due. This surgery was authorized by my insurance and performed as such. It should be processed and paid by insurance once the coding issue is resolved by Banner. At this point, including the money pre-paid to Banner, I have well exceeded my insurance out of pocket maximum for 2023 and Banner will, inherently, owe me a refund of monies that I've paid to them once the claim is processed.

The patients concerns were escalated to ***************** for review. It was determined that while many hernia repairs are performed as outpatient in cases where the defect is larger than 10cm, the patient should be statused as inpatient. Per the coding review, the patient had an inpatient procedure in an outpatient setting. The inpatient code is appropriate per the documentation.

Customer Answer

Thank you for your response. Your explanation highlights the fact that, although the level/nature of my surgery may have risen to an inpatient only procedure, it does not negate the fact that at no time was I formally admitted to the hospital by any medical provider either before or after the surgery. Hospital admission is required to bill/code for an inpatient-only procedure that was performed at an outpatient facility. It is your responsibility to identify the increased level of procedure and to coordinate admission based on operative notes and/or discussion with the surgeon or other medical providers before I was discharged from recovery. I have confirmed with my surgeon that he never admitted me to the hospital following surgery as he did not feel it was medically necessary. I went from pre-op to the OR to recovery and then home all on the same day. Your response states that It was determined that the patient should be statused as inpatient". When and by whom was this determination made? Is your billing department making decisions about medical necessity and patient care? It was certainly not made by any medical provider involved in my care. Where is the documentation regarding my admission to the hospital? What room did ********? It is my opinion that, at best, Banner Health's billing is inaccurate and/or did not meet the requirements for the codes they are submitting to my insurance. The claim has, therefore, been denied by my insurance and billing of the patient is not allowed under these circumstances. At worst, Banner may be engaging in the practice of upcoding and/or unbundling of services with regard to the claim for my care. You are assigning/submitting inaccurate billing codes in an effort to inflate reimbursement. You may be billing for a higher level of service (inpatient) that was never provided nor occured. This would be fraudulent, illegal and unethical activity which appears to be reminiscent of past activity that Banner Health has engaged in.
Business Response
Date: 02/23/2024
We agree with the patient that they were not admitted as Inpatient. The setting was Outpatient however the defect being larger than 10cm necessitated the use of the Inpatient procedure code. Coding is based on the medical documentation and was determined by ***************** to be appropriate per the medical records.

I recently spent two weeks in Banner University Medical Center in ****** **. Soon thereafter I received in the mail a credit card and line of credit statement from a company called *****. The line of credit already had a balance owing of $1,400.00. This amount shows as an unspecified charge from Banner.This credit card account was created without my knowledge or consent. I am very upset by it. My husband and I have both spent considerable time in phone calls to both Banner and ***** to get this resolved. ***** has made it even more difficult by making us wait while they send us a form to fill out. When the form arrived almost two weeks later, it was the wrong form and now the process starts again.We have not paid any money, including the minimum required payment due February 13.

However, I would like to add a further condition to the resolution: Banner is to review their policies related to signing up patients to credit card accounts such that this (an application for a credit card being made on behalf of a patient without their knowledge or consent) will not happen to anyone else.

The patients concerns were escalated to management for review. It was determined that the patient paid twice but was not responsible for any balance due after her insurance processed claim.

Banner has processed a $40.00 refund to the patient. Additionally, there is another credit of $40.00 on her account which has been sent to be processed by the Refund Team. The refund will be sent to the patient within 5-7 business days.

I will wait for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint ACTIVE until I receive the refund of $40.00 for this complaint.

Regards,

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
