    I am a 70 year old patient with health issues. I've been going to MedStar Takoma for various procedures since 11-7-18. On 3-31-19, I chose option 2 to settle balance in several installments of $100 a month (* ******, Account Manager). Attached are 2 ***** spreadsheets of payments I've made (1 page listed payments made to ******* ********* & MedStar = $3,636.04, 2-page payments to Receivables Outsourcing for Medstar Physicians = $1,189.36). Both totaled to $4,825.40 payments I have made. Starting on 6-21-23, staffs (********, **** & ********) of the business have repeatedly called & left messages that I have outstanding balance of +/1 $1,100. On several occasions that I spoke w/********, I was harassed and threatened if I do not pay 50% of the outstanding balance, my 6/29/23 procedure with Dr. ******** will be canceled. No letter nor explanation of the alleged outstanding balance was provided. Their actions have caused me undue hardship and stress, and disruptions to my job as well. Currently, Dr. ****** ******** provides me pain management. Despite many requests over periods of time to the business to explain details of charges, how my payments were applied & balance due, I did not receive a response. The staff's harassing & threatening phone calls is elder abuse and violates The Elder Abuse Act.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
