      Complaint: 23479341

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Those are not 5 attempts after all the debt was accrued. Those are all dated while I was continuously being seen as requested and paying. I was last seen in April I believe. Where were any attempts after that phone call where I was clearly struggling? I wanted to do an affordable payment plan and pay my debt. 

      Also, how does this address that I was forced to do multiple X-RAYS and my 2nd fracture wasn't even found until I complained and had an MRI in February, when I was injured in December. This should not have happened. 

      It all seems a bit excessive and a money grab. I will be happy to voice my complaints in reviews and word of mouth if this is how patients are treated. I'm in Healthcare too, so this is ultra disappointing. 

      Sincerely,

      **** ******

      a fair payment plan to continue paying this off.

      The patient was sent five statements from OrthoIllinois prior to the account being sent to hard collections.  The first statement for $298.88 was generated on 1/13/25, the second for $383.48 on 2/10/25, third for $383.48 on 3/10/2025, fourth for a balance of $1,205.40 on 4/09/2025, and the fifth for $1,205.40 on 5/5/2025.

      The patient has paid a total of $513.92 (including $300 office visit copays, and $150 for therapy co-pays).  A payment plan was established for the account balance ($383.48) at $***** per month per patient request on 3/12/2025 after receipt of a pre-collection text message from OrthoIllinois sent at 11:12am 3/12/2025.  Below is that text message stream and the options provided to the patient:

      Hi [retracted name]. This is notification from OrthoIllinois Billing that your account ********** with a balance of $383.48 is past due and payment must be received within the next 14 days to avoid collection proceedings. Payment in full can be made online at *********************** or message back to discuss available payment options. Thank you.

      At 1:15 PM on 3/12 [the patient] responded back to the text message:
      -I'd like payment options since my family has financial difficulties.

      OrthoIllinois response:  Hi [retracted patient name]. We are sorry to hear that. We can offer a 6-month payment plan. For your account balance that would be $***** per month. We are also partnered with ***********, which offers several payment plan options. To learn more about the Care Credit options just click on the link that follows ************************. Thank you.

      Patient response:  -I can do ***** per month.

      OrthoIllinois response: Great! You can either call us at ************ or go online to *********************** to make that first payment.

      On 3/12 [the patient] made a payment of $***** via the patient portal.

      On 4/30/2025 the patient called to request a decrease in her payment plan amount.  Patient was advised that the now current account balance of $1,205.40 qualified for a 10-month payment plan of $120.54 mo. Patient inquired about financial assistance and was again advised of *********** for options beyond OrthoIllinois's options.  Due to no further payment activity after 3/12/2025 the account was transferred to hard collections.
