I scheduled an MRI appointment 4-weeks ago. Over those 4 weeks, I was contacted by Advent Health at least 6 times because they could not find my orthopedic surgeon's name in their system. I continued to spell his name, gave them his clinic's address, everything, but still, I would get a call asking who was the subscribing doctor. I received a call the day before my scheduled appointment saying my insurance had not yet approved the **** so I could pay $850 or reschedule. I called my health insurance company and they said they just got the order that day. As a side complaint: I made a physical therapy appointment around the same time with Advent Health in ***********. Somehow, someone changed the location in the system to ******, over 8 miles away. My doctor's office said they too have problems with Advent Health getting the MRI's and Reports back. They suggested I go elsewhere.I'm not sure what is going on with Advent Health, but needless to say, I have been in pain for 4-weeks waiting on an MRI and physical therapy because of their incompetence. I will be seeking other facilities for my healthcare.Business Response

We contacted Ms. ******** on 03/06 that the authorization was still pending clinical review. We offered her self-pay options to continue with the appointment. Patient didn't verbally decline, but did cancel later that day.On 03/07 our authorization supervisor attempted to contact Ms. ******** due to her dissatisfaction on our survey for her scheduled appointment. And to hopefully explain our attempts to contact the provider for clinicals for authorization. Unfortunately, Ms. ******** did not return our calls.

The response received is highly inaccurate and does not address any of my initial complaint items; however, I did speak with their Customer Experience representative and had a chance to share my experience of incompetency with her. I am satisfied that she will investigate and resolve the issues so no one else has to go through what I did. I have chosen to use another facility for my MRI and my physical therapy. No further action is necessary. Thank you.

On November 18th I went to AdventHealth Urology **** **** and had an exam with ****** ***** and was complaining about Testicular pain. Dr. ***** did NOT provide an physical exam and I had issues with the way the exam went. After speaking to the Urology practice manager ****** **** I was told that following the ** scan I had a Dr. ******* would be providing a follow up evaluation and that would be of NO cost to myself. I had the ** Scan last week Monday and it was found that I had a hernia (which could have been found had Dr. ***** provided a physical exam) however I have not been provided with a follow up. I attempted to contact the ****************** and was told by an ** who answered the phone that Urology is no longer involved since it's a hernia and that it would be solved by someone else so now I Have to pay additional fees while i'm still in pain when ****** **** said that I would be provided a follow up with Dr. ******* at no cost to myself which is not what is happening. I am also questioning why a non-** is following up.Business Response

I went into the ** for a cold at was charged over $12,000. My excellent insurance, ********** Blue Shield PPO, paid almost all of is and there is still $911.26 owed by **** am not disputing the things were performed but only how much it cost for a cold in the **. The final diagnosis was a cold and it would take a few days to go away. I told the doctor and people we just got off a cruise from ****** and I felt real sick was tired. I told them my son and daughter also got colds but seemed not as bad as **** am questioning how a doctor is allowed to checkmark every option they feel like including a CT Scan (why not an MRI and proctology exam too?). This should have been a few thousand-dollar charge. I was not in a car accident or something. The doctor told me at the time that if I did not agree to the tests and what they did then she might have to stop because she could not properly diagnosis. But what if someone just charges up more than needed simply because they notice the patient has better insurance such as I do?I want an investigation into the practices and then ask the question "What would be a reasonable final bill at an ** if a patient says they feel sick, their kids were sick, and they just got off a cruise ship?"Business Response

Complaint: 22883661
I am rejecting this response because: How can someone tell me that coming into an ER stating that I have a cold and not feeling well and then charge up $13,000 in charges because I have good insurance is ok? I told them I have a cold, my kids were had colds, and I was just hoping they would give me some better ******* and help the *************** go away. The doctor recommended a CAT Scan and said I had to do it or they could not properly diagnose me. Really? All I had was a cold. She smirked as said don't worry you have good insurance and they will pay for it. That is a deceptive practice. I am not accepting this as common practice to charge someone up $13,000 in insurance for a cold. Sadly at the end the doctor told me I will still be feeling sick for the next few days so the treatment did not even work. We can go court if you want or you can drop the billing charges for this. You got enough from my insurance for a cold that was not even fixed.

I need to get a UB04 form from my hospital stay at AdventHealth hospital in ***********. My hospital stay was from August 3rd, 2024 to August 5th, 2024. My Health insurance paid $30K+ and I got a bill from Adventhealth in Sept/Oct that I am still responsible for $1,741.81. I made a payment of $313.75 and set up a payment plan for $100 monthly. At that time I requested a **** form so that I can file a claim with my Hospital *************************** to get reimbursed in order to pay off the full balance due. I was informed that I will get the form via email. It has been months and I have called AdventHealth over 12 times and spoken to numerous people including supervisors and I have still not received the UB04 form. I have provided two alternate emails and checked my Spam folder continuously. I still have not received the form, everyone just says they are sending it again. For a $36K bill, which I have now paid out of pocket $413 so far, how can you have such technical issues that has taken so long for me to get the UBO4? Why is there no way for you guys to research this issue properly? Instead it is causing me undue stress every time I have to call and speak to a new person. I need to have this issue resolved asap because I need to file my insurance claim now before the 2024 deadline!!! I need to have this form sent to me overnight via express mail. Your hospital system is large enough to be able to accommodate your patients needs. I can not continue to pay you out of my pocket due to your lack of attention to this matter. I am also literally sick and tired of calling in over and over again without any resolve. I had major surgery at a small hospital in July and within a day or two I received the UBO4 form I needed from them. It is a shame that I have to resort to filing a Better Business Bureau complaint in order to get the help I need.Business Response

I was seen at Advent Health *********************************************** lab on October 30, 2024 for standard routine lab work. I previously went to *******, but my last set of labs from there never made it to my Advent Health provider (and they wouldnt simply let me email them to them). So for my next round I was told their own lab was more convenient - and so it seemed to be at first. Lo and behold, after my labs were done I was sent a bill to my patient portal - a whopping $1658 had been billed to my insurance with a remaining balance of $801. I was shocked. While I was aware I hadnt yet met my deductible, I was not expecting such a ***** **** considering I have these labs done yearly or more and have never paid this much. So I went to their website to pull their cash pricing - lo and behold my insurance was billed 3x or more in some cases what their cash price is had I not been insured. I further did some digging to see the price they would bill my actual insurance company - again, a massive difference from what was actually sent. The *** panel for example nearly 3x their listed price was charged. I called to dispute and was told there is nothing that can be done because each facility sets their price and that basically the rates I am seeing online arent true. Its a government requirement that they list their true rates. Im not saying Im unwilling to pay something, but $800 for something that I would have paid less than $100 at ******* because I was persuaded to use their lab is outrageous. They also against my permission just added the $800 in to a payment plan. Completely unacceptable.Business Response

I visited Adventhealth ER in ********, ** on June 9, 2024 for a suspicious rash on my leg after getting refused to be seen in ********************* During my visit, I encountered issues with the care I received from the nursing staff, and was charged 1K for medications that I did not receive. I had 2 nurses during my visit. One of the nurses attempted to insert an IV in my arm, which was a ****** painful experience that took MULITPLE attempts to get the needle into a vein --which left me bruised. The second nurse came in to administer medicine in the IV, but the liquid never went in the IV -- instead the entire dose leaked all over my arm. The nurse asked me who did my IV and told me that was the worst IV he's ever seen. He had to call in help to even remove the IV because it was mis-threaded (his words). He asked me if I'd like to get another IV or just get my medications from the pharmacy. I opted to get my medicine from the pharmacy because I did not trust the skill level of the nursing staff at this point. When I received my bill, I was charged $771 for "IV Therapy" and an additional $181 for medications during my visit, despite not receiving any IV therapy or medicine in the ***** only the failed IV attempt. I have attempted to contest these charges numerous times, but the notes from my visit were never adjusted (nurse negligence) and Advent only reviewed my complaint with the ************* only spent about 45 seconds in my room and quite literally had no idea about the incident. I included a photo of my mangled IV and they refused to drop the bogus charges. The total bill was 7K. I told them I would have paid in full had the charges been removed for services I did not receive. I refused to pay the bogus charges and was sent to collections for something I shouldn't owe. I've researched numerous other stories of others getting over billed by this billion dollar business. I'm disgusted by Adventhealth and don't want this to happen to others.Business Response
