      My insurance company provided a list of eye doctors that are "In-Network" associated with the insurance plan I was covered. Spectrum eye physicians was on the list. I called "Spectrum Eye Physicians" to confirm that they were part of my insurance "In-Network" plan. The secretary who answered the phone confirmed that they were part of my insurance "In-Network" plan. On my appointment date, 4-30-2024, I paid a ***** dollars copayment, as required on my insurance policy. The secretary confirmed that my insurance policy was active, and that "Spectrum Eye Physicians" was part of my "In-Network" plan. I only paid a ***** dollars copayment which shows the secretary confirmed that my insurance policy was active. If my insurance policy was not active, why would I receive an eye exam that totaled ****** dollars, and only pay a ***** dollars copayment.On May 22, 2024 I received a bill from "Spectrum Eye Physicians" informing me that I was responsible for the full amount of ****** dollars, less ***** dollars from the ***** dollars copayment.I paid the amount of ****** dollars not realizing what was taking place.I am requesting that "Spectrum Eye Physicians" refund me the amount of ****** dollars for the following reasons:1) The secretary at "Spectrum Eye Physicians" confirmed that my insurance policy was active.2) I paid a ***** dollars copayment that is required by my insurance policy for "In-Network" services.3) If my insurance policy was not active, why would I be allowed to only pay ***** dollars for services of the amount of ****** dollars I received on 4-30-2024 4) Why should I pay for services that "Spectrum Eye Physicians" was covered by my insurance policy.The billing for services performed at the ************ ****** are billed from the *********** branch.The Los Angeles branch phone number is: ************ I have reach out to: Victoria ex. 803; ******* ex. 816; ***** Did not received a return call as promise. It has been over four months since my last call.

      I am rejecting this response because: The business did not bill my insurance properly, after many time I called and told them to please bill my insurance company correctly. I received a call from the business and I was informed that the two fellow employees who were handling my case are no longer working there, and that my inquiry was not handled correctly. Can I please have this case open, as the the response from the business stated that it can be from 30 days to 90 days to get a response from the my insurance company. Can I please respond after 90 days if I am satisfied, waiting for the results of the response from my insurance company? I am concerned about the way my invoice was handled, and whether there will be a positive response from my insurance company.

      Sincerely,

      ***** S. ***** *****

      Hello,

      After review with insurance company, we found we were provided incorrect information on how this claim was processed. Originally, clinic was informed the claim was denied for timely filing and we initiated reprocessing as the office is in network with Eyemed. When clinic called to request a claim status update, we were then informed the claim processed through insurance as out of network and the patient was sent a direct check for reimbursement of $50.00. Although the billing of this claim was not handled accurately with the insurance company, we value commitment to quality customer care and will honor the request to refund the patient the difference of $265 which adjusts for the total patient payment of $315. Patient received and cashed $50 reimbursement from insurance company.
