      My surgery was scheduled for 3/9 and because the vein clinic fell to do their due diligence and put in the paperwork with the insurance company. I scheduled 3 months in advance and now I was canceled the day before my surgery left in pain and not cared for. They have no one running these facilities. The US **** clinic is the worst place ever. There's nothing going on. I'm in pain and my surgeries canceled leaving me to have to find a new place to now perform the fibroid removal. It's horrible.

      I have been calling USA Vein Clinics billing since December. Also went to the ******************** location in person, and they said there was nothing they could do as billing is handled at corporate.The issue is: I paid $350.00 Via Credit card for the date of service, 10/26/2022. They billed my insurance and received $384.09 for the date of service, 10/26/2022.Insurance says my out of pocket is $67.78 USA Vein Clinics owes me a refund of $282.22, of which they admit. (See attachments)1/5/2023 I spoke with *****************************, and he stated refund would take ***** days for me to receive the check via mail. He was also supposed to email me an account summary.1/7/2023 I called regarding the account summary not being emailed. Left message. No callback.1/24/2023 I never received the account statement, so I called *****************************, and he emailed me the statement at 1:50 pm on that day.3/7/2023 No check received. Been over 45 days since 1/5 conversation. ***************************** said the refund still has not been approved, and there is nothing he can do. That there is no one I could talk with except to email the billing email address. I asked for the extension of an upper manager. He replied ****. Called the number back and tried to get connected to ext: ****. The operator said that person was not available and the call would not go through. Put me on hold several times and then said that ******************************* had been made aware of my concern and would call me back today. In the past three months, I have never received a callback. And I honestly do not expect that to occur today. Please help me.Thank you,************************* Also, I keep getting an error with the attachments. Please let me know if they do not come through.

      I started treatment for Varicose Veins in my legs in July 2022 with Vein Clinics of ******* in ************, **. It was approved by United Healthcare and my out-of-pocket expenses totaled over $2,636 which was paid on the first day of service. The procedures require approximately ***** sessions. In October 2022 Vein Clinics of ******* was acquired by USA Vein Clinics out of **********, ********. From that point on everything fell apart. I showed up for appointments and found the doors locked. I re-scheduled just to show up and have them say I was not scheduled. It is truly impossible to get information from their customer service agents. They literally lie to get you off the phone. If you talk to patients in their waiting rooms everyone has the same story. Its incredible.I never got my treatments completed. I am out over $2600 and they will not commit to refunding the money after numerous attempts. This includes several hundred dollars of over-payments. It is my understanding that it is illegal in ***** to hold medical payments for more than 30 days. They have demonstrated that they have no intention of completing my treatment, and I have totally lost faith in their ability to perform the services. If you do just a brief Internet search you will find this same story all over. Sure sounds like a possible class action lawsuit. My loss may sound small, but there have to 100s of other patients in the same position.To make matters worse, I decided to stop by the ************ location to see if I could get more contact information from someone. I went in and discovered absolutely no one there - I walked through the entire office asking if anyone is there. Crickets. Makes me shudder to think that anyone could walk in and gather any personal patient information in their files. I feel at financial risk due to their security breach, not to mention HIPPA violations.I want my $2,636 refunded. I have waited long enough and need your assistance.

      I went in for an initial consultation after verifying both over the phone and in person that the consultation would be covered. I was told that I needed to have a quick ultrasound done as part of the initial consultation. I verified again that this was part of the covered initial consultation. The ultrasound tech told me that it was her "first day doing legs" and she was a little slow. It took more than an hour. I was put into a room away from my clothes in a hallway with all of the doors closed in a hospital gown. More than an hour later the doctor screamed at the tech in the hallway that she didn't give him anything he needed on the ultrasound and they would have to redo it. He came in about 20 minutes later and did an initial exam. I asked to be reunited with my things. I then waited another 2 hours when the doctor came in, apologized for my wait and told me that I'd have to do another ultrasound because of the issues with the first one because there was no way that my insurance would cover anything with the initial ultrasound needing more information. I rescheduled a second appointment for that. In the weeks leading up to it, I started recieving bills for my "treatment plan". I called, they told me it was a mistake and that the billing manager would call me and fix it. I got another bill and was told the same thing. I called and canceled the appointment. I then started getting aggressive calls multiple times a day. No one was there when I would answer. When they'd leave a message, I'd call back and get no one. I emailed over and over. When I would get someone, they'd tell me that the billing manager would call me. They never did. Today they referred me to collections for a treatment I never got.

      On 8/23/2022 I was told by this clinic to prepay for vein treatment services in the amount of $1,550. After the treatments were completed on 11/17/2022 I was notified by my insurance company that the clinic should not have required any prepayment. On 11/30/2022 I contacted the billing department at the clinic that I was due a refund which they agreed. I was told it normally takes up to two weeks to process the refund. It is now over two months later and the clinic has yet to repay me. I have contacted them multiple times, even speaking with a billing supervisor and every time they say the same thing that the refund is "waiting for approval". The last call I had with them the supervisor said the check would be cut on 1/18/2023 but it's been nearly 3 weeks and still no refund. I called the billing department again and the person I spoke with repeated the same line that it was "waiting on approval".

      I saw USA Vein Clinics on 10-20-21. They requested a $50 co-pay. I advised that I had ******** out my "out of pocket maximum requirement" for the 2021 calendar year and per my insurance company, I was not required to make a co-pay payment. They requested I pay it anyways and advised they would refund it if I was correct. I checked my subsequent Explanation of Benefits from United Healthcare and I was indeed correct - USA Vein Clinics should not have collected a Co-Pay for that visit and they owe me the $50.I contacted them about this through a phone call on 11-17-2021 and spoke to a customer service representative who claimed he would have the refund processed. I never received it.I wrote to the USA Vein Clinics location at **************************************************************** on 4-14-2022 to request the refund. I included a copy of the Explanation of Benefits from United Healthcare showing I was NOT supposed to pay a Co-pay. They did NOT respond to my letter.I contacted *************************** on 12-20-2022 to enlist their assistance. United Healthcare contacted USA Vein Clinics that same day and requested they refund me the $50.
