      I have been a patient at Tottori since June 2024. I have relocated and my new allergist and I have been trying to get my serum transferred for over two weeks and nobody is returning our messages or able to help when we call. I am having allergy flare-*** that are getting worse by the day. Tottori needs to reply so that I can get my medical needs addressed.

      We are in response to the above complaint. After careful review of the complaint, we respectfully ask you remove this complaint from our profile. The patient left a message on our nurse line in which the message was triaged to the nurse coordinator, who spoke with the patient to resolve this matter. Thank you.

      I am rejecting this response because the response time was unacceptable. My first request for my serum to be transferred was mid-August while I was in office. I then began leaving messages during the last week of August and a couple more in the first half of September. I was contacted by a nurse at Tottori on 9/24/24, nearly 6 weeks after my initial request. This timeline is unacceptable for medical requests 

      Sincerely,

      *********** ********

      We are reviewing the customers complaint regarding the 6 weeks duration, as our records indicate our office staff was contacted 3 weeks ago with this request. Although we apologize for any delay, our management team took immediate action upon discovering this concern and contacted the customer immediately. We will further investigate this matter. Thank you

      To whom it may concern,

      Thank you for the following information. As previously mentioned before we adamantly deny these falsified allegations, and request they be removed from our records as the complain is without merit. The facts are as followed, ************ came in for a office visit and testing on 07/10/2023, and serum mixture was billed out on 07/12/2023  and only presented one insurance in which we billed. A year later that insurance started to recoup previous payment as they found out there was another insurance that is primary. As a courtesy we reached out the insurance company who was doing the recoupment to find out what is going on, the insurance company informed us with the other insurance information and provided member ID, upon receiving this information we did rebill the claim to the correct insurance, and claim has been denied due to timely filing. Our management team has spoken to ************ and mutually agreed we will rebill the primary insurance again per her request and speaking with a representative from that insurance. Ms. ***** was informed if the primary insurance still does not pay for the claim she would be responsible for the valid balance owed. Therefore, the patient did not present correct insurance which led to a valid balance. This is a standard national billing practices, also please see attached financial policy which was signed by ********.
