On Feb 2nd I called the clinic asking how much a Covid test would be from my local Nextcare. I was told the test would be $65, so I showed up and was given a virtual exam for the test. I was once again told the amount that I owed was $65 by the receptionist. I PAID the $65 and was discharged from the clinic. One week later I received a bill in the mail for $440. Again, I was told I ONLY owed $65 so this amount was quite a shock. I had called in and raised a billing dispute and on Feb 19th. on March 13th (23 days later), I was told the charges were valid. I raised a second dispute immediately after as I felt this was unfair. I paid what I was TOLD I owed $65, I shouldn't have owed more. March 14th I received another call stating I only owed $75 now. But, again, I was TOLD I would only owe $65, and I PAID that amount already. I continued to push back on this issue. March 18th I received another call, this time I was told the balance was cleared in its entirety, that I no longer owed anything. However, today, March 22 (4 days later), I get ANOTHER call to set up a payment plan for $75 that they say I still owe. You can see my confusion and anger at this situation. I have been told I owed $65 at the start of this all and I paid that amount and I have now been told I owed $0. Someone isn't doing their job correctly over there and I have been LIED to multiple times now. I don't want to owe ANYTHING further. I already PAID $65, it isn't my fault no one can be HONEST or write the notes down in my account properly! I have paid what I was TOLD and now I'm being treated like a thieving villian. I want to put this behind me already. Clear my balance.Business Response

On February 2nd I called the clinic asking how much a Covid test would be from them. They told me it would be $65. I showed up and they gave me a virtual exam for the test. I was again told the amount I owed was $65 by the receptionist. I paid the $65 and was discharged from the clinic. About one week later I received a bill in the mail from the clinic which confused me, because I had already paid. Then I see the amount on the bill was around $400.I wasn't told I would have to pay more than the $65 and this was a huge shock and surprise for me!The bill did say I paid $65 but it added additional things that had I known about (new patient fee and what have you) I would not have gone to this clinic. They never disclosed that there would be additional fees or that I would receive a bill asking for more money.I called in to raise a billing dispute on February 19th. They said that they would look into it. Today March 13th (23 days later) they called me back and said the charges were valid.I feel transgressed and my trust violated. Why tell someone they owe one thing just to hit them with an even bigger bill later? This feels like borderline extortion.I should only owe the $65 (that I already paid), as that's what I was told multiple times by the staff.Business Response

Today, 3/14, called in to confirm if the bill was wiped out in total but I was told that I STILL owe $75.
Which again, I've already paid $65 for this visit. It was the amount that I was TOLD by multiple people I was going to pay.
Why do I still owe money when I've already paid? This is unfair to me. It is not my fault I was told the wrong information and now I'm being punished by still owing money?

I visited NextCare Urgent Care on Sunday (February 25th-2024) morning with symptoms suggesting pink eye swollen, itchy, and uncomfortable eyes. Given the urgency of the situation, I decided to forego the online appointment option and went directly to their facility. However, upon arrival, I was informed by what seemed to be a young staff member that there were no healthcare providers available on site. Instead, I was told to wait for a telemedicine consultation.After waiting for an hour, I finally had a virtual consultation with a doctor who confirmed my suspicion of pink eye. She prescribed antibiotics, both oral and eye drops. However, upon reaching the pharmacy, I was informed that they had not received any prescription. Multiple attempts to contact the urgent care facility proved futile. The staff member I spoke to initially assured me he would follow up but never did.Frustrated and in increasing discomfort, I sought assistance from another urgent care facility. It was evident that NextCare was not equipped to handle my urgent medical needs. Despite paying $50 for the consultation, I never received the prescribed medication, rendering the service essentially useless to me.Attempting to resolve the issue, I contacted NextCare multiple times, requesting a refund for the service that failed to provide the essential medication. However, I was met with unhelpful responses, being passed around between different departments, each claiming they couldn't process the refund.In summary, NextCare Urgent Care's lack of adequate staffing, ineffective communication, and inability to provide essential services make it one of the worst urgent care facilities I've encountered. It's concerning that such an establishment is run by individuals who appear to be ill-equipped to handle medical emergencies, leaving patients like myself in distress and without the necessary care.Business Response

I want a refund for what I payed since not only I didn't get my prescription and had to go a whole day in pain and discomfort. I also had to go to another urgent care next day to get treated and had to spend another $50 in their copay just because Nextcare didn't do their job.Business Response

This was reviewed by department manager and patient will receive a refund. Patient was contacted. Than you,

I went to the urgent care in ******* on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, was misdiagnosed with nausea and given nausea medication that didn't eliminate my symptoms and did about as much good if not less than what I purchased from Target, which seemed to work better. I remained sick for another month and a half until I went to my regular urgent care that correctly diagnosed me with a sinus infection which I told this urgent care I believed it was since I said, regardless of what they may say, that I had sinus symptoms and this is usually a sinus infection as it always is. They keep harassing me over paying something I disputed. They won't leave me alone. I have telephoned them and asked them to release me from this payment last I seek medical malpractice damage for the need to go to another better established medical practice for help. It's not my responsibility to pay them when they didn't do an effective service to fixing my symptoms.Customer Answer

Hello! Please see the information as follows:DATE OF TRANSACTION: 10/26/23 AMOUNT: $122 + $39 = $161 WHAT THEY COMMITED TO PROVIDE: ********************* committed to providing insurance and the clinic committed to providing a tic diagnosis.NATURE OF DISPUTE: I was misinformed by the clinic. I called them about a tic bite and asked if they an diagnose Lyme Disease. They told me they could and advised me to get the NextCare insurance so that I didn't have to pay a high out-of-pocket price. I followed the directions of the clinic, purchased the insurance, and visited the clinic for a diagnosis. During the visit, the nurse told me that they couldn't diagnose Lyme disease. I reached out to the insurance company and asked for a refund for having been misled. They refused to give me a refund.DID THE BUSINESS TRY TO RESOLVE IT? The business refused to provide a refund.ACCOUNT NUMBER: Member ID: ************ Account Number Ending In: ************ ************ lacks integrity. My guidance was misinformed and at this point on purpose. I made efforts to ensure I was being treated for a service and was ensured it would be that and when I got there it wasn't.

Complaint ID: ******** Date Filed: 1/21/2024 BBB stated they closed this case because the company stated that I was treated at the clinic. This case should not have been closed because I received no treatment at the clinic. I keep explaining what happened at the clinic and how it correlates to NextCare insurance but somehow it's not being understood. I purchased NextCare insurance on the advice of a receptionist at a clinic in order to get seen by a doctor for my tick bite. When I got to the clinic, I was seen by a nurse who told me that they couldn't diagnose me or treat me. The ONLY reason why I went to the clinic and purchased the insurance was to get TREATED. I was NOT TREATED. I, again, am requesting a refund. Thank you. *****

I went to the clinic, purchased insurance to be tested for Lyme Disease due to a tick bite. Prior to scheduling the appointment and purchasing the insurance (which was again advised of me to do for a cheaper cost) I asked the clinic if getting tested was available since other clinics I called told me they didnt have the equipment. The person who scheduled my appointment confirmed that they did. So I purchased the insurance and scheduled the appointment. When I got there and waited in the room to be seen, a nurse came in and spoke to me about my concerns. She told me that they didnt have the equipment to test for Lyme Decease. The best she could do was prescribe me an antibiotic.
Again, I called the clinic before scheduling the appointment and purchasing insurance under the confirmation that I would be able to get tested. That turned out to be a lie.
As a consumer, I was misled into purchasing a service the company couldnt provide but stated they could.
I am requesting a refund for a service I wasnt provided but paid for. Thank you.
