    On May 5, 2022 I had surgery at *******************/Dignity Health in ***********. I submitted insurance info and after doing so was instructed by the hospital to submit a payment of $6000 maxing out deductible for the surgery for our 2022 insurance with Health Partners/Cigna. In doing so, the claims by the hospital, surgeon, anesthesiologist, and any tests be submitted, processed and paid. Everyone was paid by our records. On July 13, 2024, we were contacted by Syncom a collection agency for Yosemite Pathology for a claim over $200. Syncom was vague on the claim. We don't have exact amount. Our insurance got involved. Yosemite Pathology got on a three way call with us on July 15 and could not find claim. Later on they found my wife's claim from May 5, 2022. They claim now they never got insurance info. They also won't resubmit due to California timely billing laws. They never sent a bill! We received a bill in Sept 2022 for another service, in March 2023 that was paid in full, that was submitted to our insurance so they had my wife's insurance information in 2022. No calls, no contacts, no attempts to reach us for over two years. We pay our medical bills - they sent Syncom after us in July 2024 and won't talk to us or let our insurance talk to them. We are disputing claim now over something that is not our fault. *******************/Dignity Health had the insurance card submitted to everyone else May 5, 2022, why is this our problem over 2 years later. There is no information to up. There is nothing to upload other than Syncom's number of ************. Our insurance has sent us a dispute for

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to my concern, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

    They resolved the error in billing that was satisfactory to me and had a plan of action for any future issues with billing.
