      I had a procedure that needed an anesthesiologist on 9/2/22. My insurance was billed, and when I received my explanation of benefits from my insurance company, it showed that I owed American Anesthesiology a total patient responsibility of $180 ($90 for two separate invoices). In early December 2022, I received a bill from NAPA for American Anesthesiology, saying I owe them $2415.90. It showed I owed $90 for one service, then $2,325.90 for the other. I looked at the bill and noticed that NAPA did not adjust my bill with the provider discount (which is the contracted amount for the service, which is $450 total for anesthesia). I paid what I actually owed them ($180) which posted on 12/9/22. I mailed in a copy of my EOB to show that I did not owe the $2235.90 as that was the provider discount adjustment that wasn't applied. I called on 1/16/23; the company had received my EOB and sent my account to review. I was told that someone would call me when it was done.I continued to receive a bill, as I was told that they cannot stop the bills from going out. But, as long as my account was in review, I would not be sent to collections. Well, it's been months and my bill has not been adjusted. On Aug 15th, I received a bill for $90 for an invoice I had already paid. I called and spoke with ******* who was not sure why I received a bill, said my account is still in review, and she will escalate my case which will take ***** days. Today, 8/18/23, I received a text from IC ************* a collections agency. NAPA has sent my bill to collections (even though when I spoke to ******* on 8/15/23, I was again told my account was in review and I would not be sent to collections). I disputed the charge and mailed in proof that I do not owe $2145.90 (nor the $90 for the other charge). I called again and spoke with *******. She said someone in another department was in my account and she couldn't do anything. I am worried about being in collections for money I don't owe.

      Better Business Bureau:



      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved. The business had called me Tuesday, 8/22 at 4:59 pm; I returned the call at 5:08 pm that day and left a message. I called again today, 9/5/23 at 9:35 pm and spoke with Hope; I was told that my account is in hold and I will not be receiving a bill. The $2235.90 has been written off as the provider discount per my insurance. Also, they are moving the $90 I had overpaid for one invoice to credit the second $90 invoice, which would give me the $0 balance. I was also told my account was removed from collections. 



      Sincerely,



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

      I had a routine colonoscopy and my doctor used North American Partners in Anesthesia (****) for their billing services. Due to high risk factors for colon cancer, I get colonoscopies every year (for the last four years) for cancer screening. I have never once been billed for the anesthesia because it is covered under my insurance as a routine screening (I verified this with my ********************** insurance provider). NAPA incorrectly billed the procedure and sent me a bill for $416. I've called and asked them to re-code this bill four times now. Each time they say "it's under review", there's no estimated date for completion, there is NEVER a supervisor, and they keep sending bills. Almost every review I've seen online is identical to this. Please do something. People are getting sent to collections unnecessarily and this company is single handedly destroying people's credit.

      AMERICAN ANESTHESIOLOGY OF ******** received an inquiry regarding a patient that we provided anesthesia services to on May 11,2023, at ****** Ambulatory Surgery. Our office conducted a full review of the billing for the services for this patient and below is a summary of our findings.
      The claim was billed to the insurance that was provided to us BCBS VA. BCBS ** processed the claim with the patients responsibility of $416.34 which was subsequently billed to the patient.
      The patient is disputing this amount billed as incorrect because of the code used to bill the claim.
      We are unable to update this to a screening as it is not documented on the anesthesia record. We cannot use a history of  polyps to make this a screening.
      In order to change the coding, the patient will need to provide an updated medical record with documentation of this being a screening colonoscopy.
      Our goal is to provide exceptional patient care and excellent customer service to all of our patients and their families and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please feel free to contact me should you need any further information.

      This complaint is in regards to the billing department. We have had to jump through so many hoops to set up a payment plan. They only allow it to be set up certain days of the month and do not allow for auto pay so you are forced to contact them every month. They also force you to pay their predetermined monthly payments instead of what you can afford to pay. The staff do not help when it comes to helping you get answers to why things are done certain ways. Their accounting/billing system is in desperate need of an upgrade.

       The business is doing nothing to resolve their outdated billing system. You can review the ****** reviews for the business to get more examples of the inadequate patient services they provide. They basically hold you hostage to terrible policies and do nothing to make the experience any easier. It speaks to how outdated their systems are that they can't process auto pay on a payment plan. They are in desperate need of change.

      I have spoken with Azura Surgerys billing **** directly and was informed that they do not have any dealings witH NAPA and that the so-called invoice billing was erroneous and not legitimate and was not based on the services that I received from Azura Surgery on the date in question April 14, 2023. I was told that my account is at zero balance and my procedure was paid for in full including my anesthesia that was given to me during the service. I will contact my insurance company and speak with them about this because I shouldnt be billed by NAPA under any circumstances for this procedure.

      This company is taking advantage of innocent people. I received a bill that I was not supposed to get in the mail and continue with my incorrect name. I called correcting my name and providing my health insurance information since I knew this service was covered. I continued to get a bill even though my insurance confirmed there would not be a patient balance. However, I still continue to receive a bill. I called North American Partners in Anesthesia 6 times to have this resolved. There has been no resolution. This company is ridiculous.

I have called the number listed on the bill multiple times to let them know that based on our combination of ********* our supplemental insurance and already paid out of pocket, we do not owe any additional money. Each time I speak to someone they agree with me and tell be to disregard the bills, yet the bills continue to arrive. to I have attached the recent bills. I would like this situation resolved to show that we do not owe anything and the bills to cease.

      At this time, I have been contacted directly by North American Partners in Anesthesia regarding complaint ID ********, however my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

      The business contacted me by phone and said they found an error in claim submitted and had resubmitted to ******** and I wouldnt be getting any more statements. We will see what ******** has to say.

      I had cosmetic surgery with *******************************************************, **************************************************************************** done at ******************************, ************, **. All fees associated with the surgery were detailed ahead of time and paid ahead of time. The anesthesia service was paid ahead of time and I had a detailed conversation with the hospital about the service and cost. Today, I received a bill from North American Partners in Anesthesia. This bill is bogus and not part of the service I received. The bill is for an additional $2230 but I already paid the hospital directly.
