      I have ******** as my primary insurance and **** ******** as secondary insurance. I am is what is called a Qualified ******** Beneficiary. I saw Dr. D******** last week and his office scheduled an injection in my back. I received a call today that they were canceling the injection as their Kentucky office doesn't accept **** ********. It is aFederal law for a doctor that doesn't take ******** has to accept ******** as full payment. This is an agreement that doctors sign to bill ********. I called the billing office and the woman there said that she understood that a QMB was only to pay ******** premiums and never heard that doctors that didn't accept ******** had to accept ******** as full payment. She transferred me to a number that never answered the phone. A big problem at Orthocincy!

      Re:  ********

      We are in receipt of
      complaint ********.  We attempted to
      speak with the patient regarding the complaint on 08/23/2023.  The patient ended the call before we could
      review her complaint.  We were successful
      in speaking with the daughter.   The
      patient was initially referred to other providers but they would not return her
      calls or gave her the “run around”.  The
      patient does have a secondary plan that Dr. D********* is not in network for
      and she was simply requested to schedule an appointment to be seen by a
      provider within OrthoCincy that is in network with her insurance.   For patient satisfaction purposes, the
      patient was rescheduled with Dr. D********* for the same date/time.  OrthoCincy has contacted the patient numerous
      time to confirm the appointment.  To
      date, she has not returned any of our phone calls.

      Please note, the
      patient has never been billed from OrthoCincy. 
      We have accepted what her insurance has paid for services rendered.  OrthoCincy is compliant with all billing
      requirements.

      Should you need
      further information, please feel free to contact the office.

      Thank you,

      After having asked for permission to keep my phone so that I could alert my GF (who was my post-op ride) as to the exact time I went to the theatre for surgery so she could be aware of when she should return, I was not given my phone back for almost a week. They were rude, nasty and dismissive of my GF who was trying to recover my phone immediately after surgery, from the time I was wheeled out to the car until they wouldn’t speak to her anymore. They talked down to her, lied (saying she had the phone and lost it) and were just overall very self-important and many less kind words I will gloss over here. As far as the surgery, a week later I am doing well. But it was not easy being hobbled without a phone. I wonder what would happen to most people without their phones, just a in general. Loss of employment, difficulty in coordination. All my passwords were on my phone so I was having trouble doing little things like banking and oh yes following up with my doctors about my surgery!

      I personally called the patient and informed him that the surgery was at *** ********* Hospital not OrthoCincy Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine.   OrthoCincy is a medical practice not a hospital.   He stated he would correct the statement on BBB.  I did contact *** ********* Hospital and informed them of the complaint.  They stated that they would contact the patient to correct the issue.

      Better Business Bureau:



      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this is not really a resolution but a shifting of the blame. You can say, "It wasn't out organization that did this." but it is your organization that has decided to engage in business practices in such a way as to have an environment where blame is nebulous and for what reason that is, I do not know. A non-profit hospital allowing a for-profit organization to operate in their facility. Does that seem shady? Yeah. Is it related to my complaint? I would say only tangentially. But the fact that my loved ones had to call around and get the run around from both organizations while I was incapacitated still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I think we are all just about done being fucked over by the intentionally obtuse corporatist scum.

      I am choosing to call the issue resolved because at the very least, the people I had contact with at OrthoCincy SAY they care and SAY they will troubleshoot to make this not happen to other people. The person who called me was attentive as was PA Matt G***e (sp?). So, I will be copy and pasting my complaint and resubmitting it to reflect that apparently the party at fault is *** *********, although it still pisses me off that this little forum is all I get for airing my grievances and you have all disrespected my time in a way I don't think I will let go of anytime soon.
