      Complaint Type:
      Order Issues
      Status:
      Unanswered
      1/12/22 I spoke with ****************, Horizon Medical Director, to appeal ******************* denial for a single case agreement; the appeal was successful, the denial was overturned. **************** authorized a single case agreement for 1/3/2022 7/20/2022 for my patient, Single Case Agreement # ***-282-7029. The agreement outlined the terms: CPT code ***** (26 units), CPT code *********** (26/26 units each), and CPT code ***** (26 units), 100% no responsibility from patient, and deductible waved as well.1/21/22 I spoke with ******************* again, the Behavioral Health clinician who initially denied the single case agreement. We followed up regarding financial negotiations. **** stated someone should be reaching out to discuss a contract.2/18/22 I followed up with provider services regarding not having received a call regarding negotiations. I was transferred to the clinical department authorization line. Reference number for this call: ********** 3/9/22 I called to report I had still not received a call regarding negotiations, I also learned from Horizon ********** that the single case agreement erroneously transferred to the local (************) for payment. Several issues with this: (1) The local started paying as though I was an in-network provider which was a violation of how a single case agreement works. (2) The local stopped paying after 2/1/22 claiming I was not in network (obviously) so they cant pay. I spoke with Horizon Behavioral Health Provider Services in **, they stated they cannot resubmit the claims because it was turned over to the local Highmark. I later learned ******************* was responsible for this error. Reference # for this call: LVP-******* I have 14 more documented calls with Horizon **** through July 2022 with reference numbers that outline details of my case being escalated, I was promised they will correct the error and pay my $175 per session fee, I can provide the details. They stopped responding, payment for 28 sessions is pending. Total owed: $4,900

      Overseas Customer service agent gave wrong information about due date for policy payment. If I would have listened to this information, the policy would have been canceled. Customer service is only good at transferring members around and not helpful at getting any issues resolved. Extremely frustrating that Customer service agents are virtually useless.
