      On 6/24/24, ***** ******** had a screening ultrasound instead of a mammogram due to the fact that she is unable to lift her arm.  The claim was submitted to her insurance as the ultrasound that was completed. MMC received the BBB complaint.  Upon receiving this complaint, I reached out to the patient so I could better understand her complaint.  Once speaking with the patient, I had our ****** contact the insurance ***.  Our ******, the patient and the insurance *** set up a 3-way call.  MMC billing office will resubmit the claim with the appropriate diagnosis code.  I will continue to follow up with MMCs ****** to make sure the issue is resolved.
      Thank you

      On July 15, 2024, I went to MMC ER for an infected hand, and filled out paperwork. I then sat in the reception area for 4 hours without being seen. At that point, I notified the receptionist that I was leaving because I was in a lot of pain, to go to an urgent care. She told me that she would let them know.On August 9th 2024, I received a bill for said ER visit for the amount of $125. The bill also indicated that they fraudulently billed my insurance company for an ER visit, when I was not actually seen. I want this bill removed and noted in my account that I am not actually responsible for services that were not rendered.I went to a local urgent Care and had my injury / infection attended to.

      I had preventative ultrasounds on 8.29.2022 at MEADVILLE MEDICAL CENTER. My insurance cards were provided. MMC billed the network company for my primary insurance for $714. The claim was processed on 10.6.2022 and the EOB clearly shows $714 disallowed. Patient responsibility $0.00. MMC then billed my secondary insurance. Then MMC billed me on 2.24.2023 for $677.31. This practice is illegal and this is not the patient responsibility. Last time MMC did this to me and I disputed it, they sent me directly to collections, without any subsequent bills or notices.

      I have your letter of March 7, 2023 to Renato Suntay regarding the above referenced patient.  As of this date, we are writing off the original charge to the primary insurance company in the amount of $714.  The patient account will be cleared.  There was a coding issue on the original bill. The primary carrier dropped the charge down to the secondary carrier which, in turn, denied the claim and kicked the bill back up to the primary carrier. The charged was re-billed to the primary carrier in February.  It is unlikely that the billing will ever be paid and MMC will write off the bill rather than expose the patient and MMC to further aggravation. We are sorry for the inconvenience to the patient.
