I took my daughter in on 08/03/2022 for a routine sports physical. Tina Moore PAC did her exam and I explained to her my daughter had recently been diagnosed with asthma after having an asthma attack at a softball lesson. During her lesson we were unaware her seasonal allergies had taken a toll on her, she never had an asthma attack before then. I answered the sports physical to the best of my ability and Tina felt because I had the "yes" checked on the boxes that I did, it was best to refer Sara for an Echocardiogram. I asked if this was really thought to be necessary or best and Tina assured me that without this my daughter could be one to drop dead on the field without further warning. She then advises to wait a few days and someone will reach out to schedule. I called on 08/05 to see if we could get this scheduled prior to school but no referral had been sent. I was referred to XXX-XXX-XXXX for questions. When I called them, they said that is not really what that line is for and the order would need to be created from CareNow LakeWorth and referred me back to them. I called Care Now LakeWorth and they said they would create and send it to Cooks allow a week or two for someone to call me back. I called Cooks on 08/16 and they still did not have the referral, so I called the XXX-XXX-XXXX again was advised thats not what they do. I called CareNow Lake Worth on 08/16, 8/17, 8/18, 8/19, 8/23 and 08/24. On 08/17 the nurse tech assured me she created the order. On 08/18 I called cooks they still did not have it and said Care Now could fax it directly to XXX-XXX-XXXX. I called back to Carenow and advised them of the direct fax number and the nurse tech said she would note it and have the Dr call me back. As of 8/25 no orders or referrals have been sent. I just need them to process this so we can move forwardBusiness Response

On June 11, I went to a provider location that was not for the Coppell, TX location but in Conroe, TX. The location I visited was contacted prior to the appointment and they had me sign up using the online app *********** and put all my information in that app. I made clear that I was a resident in another state and had them check my insurance information. Though an insurance that they accepted, this was an out of state situation and my deductable had not been met. I was told that I needed to pay for the visit in advance, which I did. I was happy with the staff and services in Conroe. A month later, I received a suspicious statement saying that I owe an additional $362 which has the logo of CareNow. It has a return address of Brentwood, TN 37024. It has a "Mail your check" address of Atlanta, GA 30374 that shows every indication of being a virtual PO Box (clear HIPAA violation if true). Neither of these addresses matches the corporate headquarters PO Box address on the CareNow website in Coppell, TX. There is a payment portal URL that does NOT match the portal in the *********** app. The account number does NOT match the *********** app. The URL of the statement doesn't know what my email is. The statement indicates that my health insurance is managed in Texas, which it is not. IF my heath insurance had been managed in Texas, I am told from my insurance provider, my co-pay would have been $50. Two claims were submitted to my insurance totalling $718.86 and they were both denied. The average cost of an urgent care visit in Texas is $200 and consulting my Arizona doctor, I was told additional labs for my visit completely unnecessary. The visit claim amount to my insurance didn't show my payment, though it did show on my suspicious statement. This would have been paid by insurance without question if I lived in Texas. I believe this is a fraud attempt and I owe nothing to this company and there is no reason a reply to the fraud attempt would violate HIPAA.Initial Complaint

On XX-XX-XX I went to CareNow due to an illness and I wasn't sure if I had COVID and wanted to be tested. Before I went in I called to make sure that the facility accepted my insurance and was in network. I was told yes and I would have to meet a $50 copay (which was paid at the time of the visit.1. In March I received a bill for $434.64. I immediately contacted them and said that I shouldn't be responsible for $434.64. I was given REF#XXXXXXX and told that this would be sent to AR for adjustment and would also be resubmitted to my insurance. Also, I was told by my insurance (CIGNA) that due to COVID that any provider should not be sending patients bills if it was COVID related.2. Again in April I received another statement with a balance of $375.00. The insurance had paid an additional $59.64 but CARENOW had not adjusted the remaining balance. Again, I contacted them (X-X-XX) and explained that I was disputing these charges. They said it would be sent for review to leadership and I should be contacted by someone. I was given REF#XXXXXXX for the phone call.3. In May i received another statement with a balance of $375.00. I contacted them on 6-8-22 and spoke with SO RAY who said she was a supervisor. I provided all the information regarding the previous phone calls and told her I had phoned several times and no one had contacted me or addressed my concerns/complaints. She told me it would be sent to an AR MANAGER for review and I would hear back. Again that never happened. 4. On X-XX-XX I received a letter from a collection agency for the $375.00.The reason I am filing a complaint is I believe that this business is misleading consumers and providing false information to get patients to use their clinic and telling them that they will only have to pay their copay and then sending them a huge bill after the visit. As a matter of fact I reviewed consumer reviews on the business and there are many complaints about the same complaint that I am making.Business Response
