      RE: ID: ******** 

      Dear *** ********: 

      This letter is in response to your correspondence received on January 14, 2023 
      regarding the above-referenced BBB ID Number ********. 

      ProScan received patient’s scan order from the referring physician on January 3,, 2023.

      Patient was contacted same day to schedule an appointment ten (10) days from the 

      date  the  order  was  received,  as  that  is  the  timeline  for  receiving  approval  from 
      patient’s insurance.  
         
      On January 11, 2023, ProScan left a voicemail for the referring physician as well as the 
      patient to advise both that a denial had been received from patient’s insurance and 
      the appointment would need to be canceled since getting a denial from the insurance 

      overturned  could  take  up  to  thirty  (30)  days.  We  did  receive  a  call  back  from  the 
      physician’s office requesting the denial from insurance be faxed to them. We did not 
      receive a call back from the patient that day. Since no response was received from the 
      patient regarding canceling the appointment, we left another voicemail on January 12, 
      Patient arrived to the appointment on January 13, 2023. ProScan checked the denial 
      status to see if it had been overturned but unfortunately, it had not. ProScan asked 
      patient to follow up with her referring physician to make sure the appeal had been 
      submitted and once the denial had been overturned, we would be happy to reschedule 
      the appointment.  

      We apologize for any inconvenience that this patient may have experienced. If you 
      have any questions, please feel free to call us at ###-###-####.

      I have an mri scheduled for tomorrow. Today the provider called and said that I had to pay my coinsurance when I go tomorrow. I asked them to bill my insurance first because I have an HSA plan and my coinsurance amt may change because other claims are coming in. The rep said that I should reschedule my mri if I need to wait for other claims to come in. Then she said my coinsurance would never change. I am nearing my put of pocket max, so if I pay a coinsurance and other claims come in, I will be due a refund. This happened to me with another provider and it took almost 6 months to get a refund. The woman again said that I could/should reschedule my mri if I couldn’t pay my coinsurance. I *can* pat my coinsurance but prefer to wait until my insurance is billed so that I’m not waiting months for a refund. It is appalling that a rep repeatedly suggested that I postpone a needed mri because Proscan can’t wait for insurance processing to get their coinsurance.

      Dear *** ******: 

      This letter is in response to your correspondence received on September 9, 2022 
      regarding the above-referenced BBB ID Number ********. 

      ProScan is committed to providing all of its patients with the highest standards of 
      service. Our Company Policy related to co-insurance states “All patients must pay the 
      applicable co-payment, deductible or co-insurance at the time of service.” This policy is 
      applicable even for patients with an HSA account. Further details of this policy can be 
      found on our website at: https://proscan.com/for-patients/insurance-and-billing/  

      We continue to train our employees on the best ways to assist patients with payments. 

      Employees will direct patients to our payment policy on the ProScan website or to their 
      health insurance company to review their plan. Our Center Manager attempted to 
      reach out to this patient by phone to discuss our policy further.  
        
      We apologize for any inconvenience that this patient may have experienced. If you 
      have any questions, please feel free to call us at ###-###-####.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, reasons for rejection are included below.

      Regards,

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


      Proscan’s policy also states “If you cannot pay the full amount of your co-insurance or deductible at the time of service, a deposit will be expected at time of service unless you previously made different payment arrangements.”

      Because I was close to my max out of pocket for the year, I asked to have my insurance billed FIRST so that I would not be at risk of overpayment.  This has happened to me before, and getting a refund from a provider is extremely challenging.  I was not offered, nor did I know about, placing a deposit.  The ONLY options offered to me was delaying my scan until “all my bills came in”.  Asking a patient to delay a scan for payment is negligent, and a violation of their policy which states that different arrangements could be made.  

      I repeatedly stated that I was only asking for insurance to be billed first, and why.  I was given misinformation (my coinsurance would never change, and that insurance would refund me).  My coinsurance does change, and is eliminated when I hit max out of payment.  Insurance would never issue a refund because I do not pay anything to insurance.  Patients pay a provider.  In addition to misinformation, Proscan violated their own policies by not offering an alternative payment option and focusing on money first.

      Manager communicated with patient on 9/27/22 to discuss relevant company policy regarding this matter. No further communication required.

      Called and scheduled with Proscan rep. Told to text Rx for MRI. Faxed on a Friday and told had to wait a week to preauth. Called Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday to get *** & ****** codes to see where precert was at. Was told Thusday (day before MRI) per Insurance company just received Rx Thursday morning - stating they needed clinicals. Now pushing me back 72 hours - unacceptable considering they made me schedule a week later because to "ensure Proscan had time to precert - (cant put weight on my leg to walk). Requested case number with Insurence. I then called the Dr. Office... they never received a request for clinicals. Gave them the case number requesting they expedite this. Showed up for scan and had to pay out of pocket and told because they didn't have auth from the insurance (again - no sense of care or urgency for patients) basically too bad they cant do anything at this point. They do not care about the patients. They allowed themselves to not have to move forward at my expense. Glad I was able to use previous precert knowledge to even know to get a case number. I will never use Proscan again.

      RE: ID: ********

      Dear *** *****:

      This letter is in response to your correspondence received on August 26, 2022 regarding
      the above-referenced BBB ID Number ********.

      ProScan is committed to providing all of its patients with the highest standards of service.
      We have conducted a thorough review of the patient’s account. The following is a
      summary of our findings:

       8/19/22: Patient was scheduled for an appointment on August 26, 2022. There
      was no order included with the appointment request.

       8/24/22: ProScan requested an order and notes from the patient’s doctor via
      voicemails and fax.

      8/25/22: ProScan received the order and the precertification process was
      initiated with the patient’s insurance company. The insurance company pended
      the case for notes. As a result, ProScan called the patient and left a voicemail
      explaining that the patient would need to reschedule or agree to be self-pay.

      8/26/22: Patient paid the self-pay rate and proceeded with the MRI Scan.

      8/29/22: ProScan received the notes from the patient’s doctor’s office and has
      .uploaded the notes for insurance review. ProScan is seeking a retrospective
      authorization from the patient’s insurance. If this is denied, ProScan will initiate
      a refund for the full self-pay rate.

      We apologize for any inconvenience that this patient may have experienced as a result
      of our normal pre-authorization and scheduling process. We seek to stay at least 3-5
      days ahead of our schedule, however recent staffing shortages and other challenges
      have prevented our ability to meet this target. We believe we are headed in the right
      direction to begin meeting our historic timeline of working authorizations 3-5 days out
      from the date of service.

      If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at ###-###-####.

      Just to reiterate to Ms. K***, I was told at the time of scheduling to text MRI order to 239-572-4187 on 8/19 @ 3:15pm and have provided confirmation that states "received." 
      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

      On 9/17/21 my wife ***** got an MRI at the ***** location of ProScan. The charge was $2000.00. They have received a total of $2438.25 for their services, $1890.44 from *** insurance, and $547.81 from *****. We had received a billing from ProScan for $447.81, and they were paid. Then, *** paid them again. They tried to keep the overpayment, refusing to answer my letters and phone calls. Then, I turned them in to the BBB. The reply to BBB on April 21, 2022 said they had made an error, and that ******* refund was being processed. August 21, 2022 will be 120 days of processing. Is their accounting department that pathetic, or are they just trying to steal $438.25 from a customer that tried to do the right thing and pay a billing charge? If they were an honest business, this matter would have been cleared up a long time ago. ProScan owes ***** $438.25, and for the last time, we are asking for a refund, and the date the refund will be paid. “ ProScam “ is a more suitable name for that company!
