  Pediatrix billed my wife for the first time in in November 2023 for a medical service that was performed in May of 2022. Our insurance provider has confirmed we owe zero patient responsibility for that service and we also reached out out of pocket *** for 2022. We've made more than a dozen calls to Pediatrix and their vendor MedData and they refuse to stop billing us saying the insurance company recouped the money that was originally paid. Our insurance has indicated they have no record of such a recoupment. Pediatrix is now threatening to send us to collections over a balance that we should not owe according to our insurance. Pediatrix needs to stop billing us and take up their payment with the insurance company and make sure they do not send us to collections.

  We just had our first child at a hospital covered by insurance. 6 weeks later we received a bill by Pediatrix for $875. There is no explanation on what services were provided. They did not bill insurance. We did not approve of any third party company coming into the hospital and providing us *** service. We have no clue who Pediatrix is, if they even provided any service to us, and why we were billed by them. If any Pediatrix employee came into our room, it was without our consent and they took advantage of being in a weakened state of cognitive ability due to lack of sleep while delivering a child. It's morally disgusting to pray on new families. Giving birth is a traumatizing situation that costs thousands of dollars, and it's a scam for some company to sneak in and provide any service against our will pretending to be part of the hospital experience.

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I spoke with a rep from the company and they are trying to run my health insurance now. They did not collect the insurance information from the hospital and just sent a bill directly to me for some reason.  I am currently satisfied with their efforts in reference to complaint ID ********, but reserve my final judgment pending their ability to bill my insurance for surprise services that they provided.

  Thank you,

  I had an ankle joint replacement surgery on May 9, 2022. My insurance at that time was with Humana. Our benefits were 100 percent coverage for out-patient surgeries. My surgery started in the morning and I went home same day around 7 P.M. We got our first bill from American Anesthesiology of ** in September 2022 stating that we owed them $651.70. We called the Amer. Anes. group and they said that we owed our deductable because my surgery couldn't have been day surgery. I assured them it was and they then said the hospital didn't code the billing correctly. So we called the hospital and was told it was coded correctly as an outpatient procedure. I then talked to Humana and they did a 3-way call with myself and ****. Anes. and we were told they would review the charge. I received one more invoice in October 2022 for the $651.70. I have now received an invoice dated December 13, 2023 stating that we owe $3,019.12. This amount is the $651.70 plus the $2,367.42 that was an adjusted amount subtracted from the bill due to the contract between Amer. Anes. and Humana because they were an in-network provider. This adjusted amount was subtracted on the earlier invoices I received. As I see online, you have received many complaints about this company's billing practices. The entire problem exsists due to Amer. Anes. not accepting that this was an out-patient procedure.Amer. Anes. of TN account #******** *****************************

  My son was born 7/12/22 and received emergent NICU care until 9/4/22. His deductible and out of pocket were met. The portion owed to Pediatrix Medical group for IN NETWORK care was *******. Pediatrix sent me a bill for that amount and I set up a payment plan. My EOB from United also said what I owed them was *******. In June of 2023, United decreased the reimbursement for Pediatrix. My son had already met the out of pocket maximum at this time and was still on the payment plan for the *******. His annual out of pocket maximum from United was ****. After United decreased reimbursement to Pediatrix, Pediatrix then balance billed me the difference of *******. Multiple phone calls have resulted in no change. I was told that since insurance "took money back", I now owe it. Pediatrix even went so far as to tell me United specifically told them I owed the extra charge, when I have been in touch with United multiple times and they said my son had met the **** maximum out of pocket and owned no more. The majority went to pediatrix group, but some went to the hospital for facility fees. Pediatrix told me that unless I proved I didn't owe the money they were turning me over to collections. This was after I initiated a conference call with United and Pediatrix during which the United representative reported the maximum out of pocket was met. At this point I need assistance. I have provided the EOBs from insurance from 6/2023 which show the decreased reimbursement from insurance but also show that my out of pocket does not change. I have paid ******* of the *******. This seems on par with insurance fraud since I was in network and EOBs repeatedly state my maximum out of pocket has not changed. Pediatrix would not obtain or request these from insurance so I had to do it myself, still with no resolution. I appreciate any assistance you may provide.

  I paid my $40 bill and it was never credited to my account though I provided Napa Anesthesia with the payment confirmation number I was given and a screenshot of the deduction from my healthcare FSA account. They continue to bill me for the amount I have already paid. Details are below.- The bill is for my daughter. The date of service was 4/7/23. - I paid the $40 bill online, prompted by a text message, on 6/2/23. $40 was deducted from our FSA account the same day. - When I received a repeat bill, I called to speak to a representative on 7/24/23. I was told they saw the payment but it had not been applied to my account. I submitted the requested documentation (payment confirmation number and screenshot of FSA debit) the same day to ************************************ When I received another paper bill, I called again on 11/14/23 and spoke with ***************** asked me to resend the documents to ********************** and said the account would be sent to escalation. - I received another bill via text message on 11/20/23. I emailed the pfs email address and was told my account was being reviewed. - Since then I have received more paper and text bills marked late. I have provided all requested documentation twice, and at this point I paid the bill nearly 6 months ago, contacted them shortly after and my issue has not been resolved. Can you please assist?

  Pediatrix is demanding we pay them $760. Services were provided 1/8/2023. Pediatrix claims it was denied on 3/29/2023. Anthem (insurer) says they have never received or denied this amount. Anthem asks that Pediatrix resubmit the claim and they will approve it. Pediatrix says it is "against their policy to resubmit the claim". Anthem asks for a copy of the denial notice so they can research on their end. Pediatrix says it is "against their policy to release that document". Pediatrix refuses to give any information to any party. Anthem offers that I could, upon receipt of an itemized statement, submit the claim on my own without involving Pediatrix. Pediatrix has promised to do this, but has now sent me yet another duplicate of the bill, with zero itemization or coding. This is regarding account ********.
