      On 5/24/22 I sent a payment of $616 through Instamed. The Provider was ********************/**** *. It was for genetic testing. Mistakenly, Instamed sent the payment to one of many ********** Hospitals. I have never received services from a *********** Hospitals. I figured this out after many phone calls with ******************** and Instamed. The last time I contacted Instamed they sent this phone number as the contact to where my payment was sent: **************. I called. They were unable to locate my payment. ********************/**** * does not have my payment. Instamed has not provided me with the contact info of the provider who was sent my payment. I need my money back. I have expended a lot of time and energy trying to recoup my misdirected payment. I need instamed to solve the problem they created.

      InstaMed reached out to both *** and her Provider, and sent proof of payment for the transaction in question.  InstaMed's Service Team continues to work with both parties to have the payment credited to ***'s account.  Please reach out to InstaMed's Service Team at (866) INSTAMED or ************** or [email protected] for additional assistance.

       Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I have not been compensated for interest on the money instamed sent to the wrong provider. Additionally I have not been compensated for the time spent dealing with this matter.

      I paid 295.98 through my insurance portal for an orthopedic appointment in October of 2021. This payment was processed through InstaMed and still has not been received by the doctor's office who just sent the bill to collections. When I contact InstaMed, they give the same solution of emailing the payment details to the doctor's office which has been done repeatedly to no avail. This company has refused a refund so that I can pay the office directly.

       Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because:
      There has been no progress made with assisting the provider with finding the payment. I've been denied a refund under the guise of the payment "being processed" though the office never received payment. After informing that the email was not helpful to the provider in locating the payment, there has been no additional information given. In fact, a couple of emails have been received with confirmation information that varied from the previous response.

      Regards,

      In response to *******'s feedback, InstaMed contacted her Provider on 11/1/22 to work on their acknowledgement of payment.  During the call, the Provider requested *******'s date of birth, and this is not information that InstaMed can provide.  InstaMed has emailed ******* on 11/2/22 and 11/7/22 requesting that she contact our Support Team so that a 3-way call can be initiated with her Provider to resolve acknowledgement of payment.  As of 11/8/22, the Support Team is ready to be contacted by ******* and facilitate the 3-way call.  InstaMed's Customer Support Team can be reached at (866) INSTAMED or (866) 467-8263 or [email protected].
