I had an appt with ********************* for 9/12/22 at 1:30pm. On 8/16/22 I tried to arrange for transporation using my trans. benefit through Cigna. They were unable to confirm trans. due to a shortage of drivers. I was told someone from ***** would call me back if they were able to confirm a driver. I notified **************** office of the problem & asked for a telemed appt. I was told ************ wasn't participating in telemed. A few days later ***** called to say they found a driver for the 12th. On the 12th no one showed up. I called **************** office, see attachment, an hour before the appt. and advised them of the problem. ***********************, his PA, said '******************* call me to re-arrange the appt. I never heard from ******. I called & left msg's but no one returned the call. Then I started receiving bills for a missed appt. I sent them a letter explaining what happened but no one responded. Then all of the MRI's I sent to ************ were returned to me, w/o explanation. It's necessary that ************ has these prior to any exam. I'm at a loss for how to reach them. It appears that they do not respond to mail or vm's.Business Response

I received an invoice from Emory **************** (Emory Clinic) in the amount of $251.76. I was unable to pay the full amount, therefore I contacted the billing department to make payment arrangements. I spoke with a female agent on 11/04/2022 around 9:30am. She stated I can start a payment plan and asked me the monthly amount that I could afford. She stated the minimum amount would be $25 monthly, therefore I agreed to the minimum amount of $25 a mo. She asked if I would like to go ahead and make a payment today and I told her I could make the first payment. I gave her my credit card information in order to pay the $25. When the transaction was complete she stated I would be receiving a letter from their 3rd party payment processor (FAMS) for instructions on how to make my future payments as the payments will be collected directly to them. However, when I checked my bank statement and noticed my account was overdrawn, I noticed the lady had charged me the full amount of $251.76. I contacted Emory immediately and they stated it would be aprox. 30 days for refund resolution. Totally unacceptable for an error made by their employee. There is absolutely no reason why they could not void that transaction and recharge me for the correct amount. I have contacted the bank and I am still waiting for a call from their supervisor.Business Response

What I am upset with is the billing issues with the billing department at Emory. We have been trying since the very beginning of August 2022 to resolve this and there is still no resolution. I am waiting for an invoice or a bill and I am shocked that they can not provide that. Every time I speak with finance team they can not answer very basic questions such as: where do I find bills and pay them? I am starting to get extremely worried because our treatment has already been delayed due to billing issues. I am extremely worried that these issues with the billing team will prevent us from doing another transfer this year. This would be devastating to me for a few reasons. One reason being that if we transfer next year all our out of pocket *** and deductible will reset and we will incur expenses that could easily be avoided. I really feel I have gone above and beyond to make sure that the finance issues are resolved. What more can I do?Business Response

1) On multiple occasions they have not been able to produce bills after services were rendered.I am signed up for paperless.On one occasion, they turned my account over for collection within approximately two (2) weeks of the services rendered without ever producing a billing statement.On a second occasion they turned my account over for collection without ever producing a billing statement. On this occasion I was due a refund at the time they turned my account over for collection.On both occasions they admitted that it was done in error but they could not produce a billing statement.I have talked with them about this on multiple occasions. They keep telling me "you are not the only one having this problem" and that they will look into it and fix the problem.This has now been going on for over a year yet nothing has changed. They now tell me I have a balance from a September 1, 2022 visit yet they are unable to produce a billing statement for same. 2) I was trying to sign up for their new My Chart Patient Portal and after providing the accurate information it requested about me it keeps indicating that it is "unable to verify my identity".It also states to follow the instructions on my billing statement but I am unable to do so becuse they are unable to produce a billing statement.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: The complaint I filed was over two (2) years ago and they just respond to it now. they can't be serious.Also, their billing department has not improved over the last two (2) years.
I also believe, based upon my expreience, that in my opinion because one of my former doctors at Emory was incorrectly billing ********* I had to pay for tests that would have otherwise been covered.
Sincerely,

I am sorry you are still experiencing issues with the billing department. To correct any mistake we have made, we need more details so that we can investigate. Please contact our billing department at ************ to file a formal complaint. They will also be to set up your MyChart.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: I have already contacted the billing department on multiple occasions and was advised I would need to speak with the doctor's office. When I contacted the doctor's office, they told me I need to contact the billing department.This, plus the fact it took you over two (2) years to respond to my initial complaint pretty much speaks for itself as well as speaks to what kind of mistreatment patients receive from Emory.
People do not remember what you say, they remember how they are treated.

I have been offered to participate on a "******** Trial" free of cost. I have visited the ******************************************** GI clinic on 3/21/2022 that day I've found out that I do not qualify for "******** Study Trial" by ************** clinic. I had 3-4 months long conversation with ******************** clinical team about this study trial and had multiple conversations about that trial being free and won't cost me anything. Later I've found it that ****************** office was quick to submit my brief office visit and file a claimed $359 to my insurance company and got paid around $147.70 by my health insurance provider on 4/12/2022, ****************** office sent me the bill of the remaining balance of $211.30. I have reached out to *************************** office multiple times and have spoken to her medical assistant " Kataya" I was told by ****** that they will take care of my balance that I don't need to worry about, Instead they sent the balance of $211.30 to a collection agency. All I want is ************** to remove this balance and notify the collection agency to stop harassing me.Business Response

I was bitten by multiple mosquitoes and went to , Emory Downtown Decatur and the physicians constantly told me there was nothing wrong with me. My back L5 pop due to negligence, I also have a bulge in the back of my neck and my doctor will not give me a leave of absence. The trucks can be Dusty, leaking fumes and my supervisor made light of the fact that my nose started to bleed because of the fumes. I've been walking around in a Haze every since I got bite. ****** care told me I needed to go to my primary care physicians and I continued to go and they kept telling me nothing was wrong with me. My physician's didn't even want to give me antibiotics for ******, nor do they want to write a report explaining how I've received to many bug bites now I've become easily infected with parasites. My neck keep swelling, my face break out with bumps, my hair Fall Out, my knees sometimes swell's. Doctor's ****** Run More ***** ****** Less of Their Expert Observation, just by looking at someone you can't diagnose them.Business Response
