I was a patient o* this practice and had a consultation on 3/8/2023. The practice o* the o**ice as noted in their *inancial policy stated that payment *or service was due at the completion o* service. When I le*t at the end o* that appointment I asked i* there was anything else or an amount due and they said there was nothing else. I returned 3/27/2023 to get an estimate *or *uture service. At the end o* that appointment, again nothing was mentioned about a due balance. On 5/23/2023 I received a text message asking to contact the o**ice about a past due balance. I asked what balance and they said *or the service on 3/8/2023. I told them I have not received a bill and with *oul language, I know wasn't need, asked *or one to be sent. I got no response a*ter that beside a signature required letter "*iring" me the practice. Sometime at the end o* May or beginning o* June the account was sent to collections as I recieved a letter *rom them on July 6. On June 20th I dropped o** a payment to the o**ice, which they mailed back to me. I again dropped o** the payment on 6/25. On 6/26 they called the police to get a no trespassing order. I made a good *aith attempt to settle the account without receiving a bill at any time. I used the EOD *rom insurance company to see guess what was owed. They billed insurance 3/21. 6 days be*ore my second appointment where they could have asked *or the amount due at that time but *ailed doing so. The account was post due no more than 60 days it was sent to collection without notice and without a billing statement a*ter asking *or one as one was never received. The only things I have received *rom them has been 3 pieces o* mail and those can be veri*ied as they were sent certi*ied, or signature required. Even in his seven (7) page letter to me dated 6/25/2023, they still *ailed to provide a billing statement several docs and a doc that states communication is key with past due accounts..which is what occurred but they stopped
