  *** keep charging for unknown service e and couldnt be reached by email or phone. We had previously requested to discard embryos. They sent me an email to activate a link but a link isnt valid and name mentioned on the email wasnt mine.

  Date: 06/02/2025

  We regret the inconvenience the patient is experiencing. In 2020, a Disposition formlegally required to discard embryoss and cancel cryostoragewas sent but never completed or returned. Despite recent follow-ups by phone and email, and resending the form, as of 6/2 at 4 PM, we have not received a response.
  Until we receive the completed form, storage continues and nothing can be discarded. We are ready to close the account and waive past storage fees as soon as we receive formal confirmation. We are committed to resolving this promptly. Thank you.

  Shady Grove is the most incompetent and useless fertility clinic I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. This is the second time they canceled our *** transfer without warning. The only reason we stuck with them was bc they have our frozen embryos.Last year, I spent months corresponding with the doctor to ensure that the *** transfer would occur no later than November 2024. I met with the ** in October and was assured everything was a go. We paid for the *** in full at the end of October. The day before the *** transfer, I received a flippant vm from the ** saying it was cancelled. I was so blindsided. I called and asked why. He didn't advise I was supposed to be off the birth control. he put me on and told me to stay on. I asked could we rescheduled and he said no. That the procedure had to be cancelled. It took much correspondences to receive a full refund. Five months later, I randomly received a bill for $1,535. I called and spoke to various incompetent personnel who eventually advised that we were charged for the cancellation of the procedure. This is the second time their incompetence led to a cancellation. I wasn't charged a fee before and not I'm not paying this time either. I have been patient with this shady and scammy company. I've had enough. I'm not paying for a procedure that was abruptly by the ** himself without recourse. Also, if I supposedly owed, why not advise at the time when the full refund was processed? They have been harassing me. I'm considering taking legal action.

  Business Response

  Date: 05/02/2025

  We are currently working with the pt on these issues. It has been explained that cancellation of a cycle for clinical reasons is addressed in the contract signed by the patient and stipulates that the pt is responsible for the cost of services rendered up to the point of cancellation wth a discount applied. The pt will then be refunded the remaining amount paid for the cycle. While a refund was made for the cycle, the outstanding charges are still due and represent a balance to the patient. We have discussed the documentation surrounding the cancellation. There, indeed, was no outstanding charges for a previous cancelled cycle as there were no services rendered prior to the cancellation. We are continuing to work with the pt to attempt to reduce the burden but wanted to inform the BBB of our ongoing communication.

  We started our *** process in May2024. A prior authorization was submitted and came back as approved for ***. I was told I had to pay a $450 deposit prior to the process starting, this was paid. I received a bill for around $900 dollars. My EOB from **** showed two appointments that were denied coverage from my insurance. After speaking with my insurance company and Shady Grove billing. They were able to fix the coding from the 14May2024 appointment and it was then covered by my insurance. I had the actual *** on 16May2024. Once my insurance company was billed, this came back denied, not a covered benefit. I have *** coverage through ****, the prior authorization was approved for ***. I have spoken to multiple people at Shady Grove, including the billing department and of course my insurance company. I have been told the codes that were submitted for payment to **** are not the same codes used on the prior authorization. I have been fighting this error since Nov2024. I am still waiting on the correct codes for my *** so they can be covered, as this is a covered benefit under my insurance. When they corrected the 14May2024 appointment my bill went down to 104 dollars. I believe I am actually owed a reimbursement once the correct codes are submitted to my insurance company. $450 deposit was paid *** is 555 according to my ***. I have been unable to speak with someone, no one is answering my emails or returning my calls. Because of this issue I have decided to seek fertility treatment at another facility.

  The company has been either incompetently or unwilling to submit billing to insurance which we obtained a gap exception for. We have requested this multiple times and have only received bills to the point where we have been threatened with collections. Furthermore we were not provided information other than assurances that the recommended treatments and outpatient providers utilized were covered. We would like them to correctly bill the insurance and adjust our bill and/or explain the charges

  Business Response

  Date: 12/04/2024

  We are currently working with the administrators of this Gap Extension plan. The plan has very specific requirements for services and, as reviewed with the patient, does not offer coverage for diagnostic services. We are working with the plan to optimize the coverage for all services available.We are awaiting responses from an additional submission on behalf of the pt. We regret the frustration this has caused and continue to work to gain guidance from the plan administrators.

  I had the absolute worse experience with Shady Grove Fertility. After going back and forth for several days with their financial/billing department, I decided they are a complete scam and not for ***** insurance does not have fertility treatment coverage and so going into this I expected to pay out-of-pocket. After paying for $1,300 for the *** cycle with monitoring, I found out through my insurance company EOB's that Shady Grove was filing claims for my physician appointments (that I also paid self pay rate and it was covered by insurance) and monitoring and diagnostics appointments. Shady Grove was now asking me to pay another $30 copay on top of the $1,300 out-of-pocket/self-pay rate because they billed insurance. When I spoke to my financial coordinator she told me that it was billed incorrectly multiple times. I confirmed with 2 separate nurses that the all monitoring appointments were included in the *** cycle.After talking to billing, I was infuriated because the woman on the phone was actually ARGUING with me that this "first" monitoring appointment was NOT covered in the *** cycle. It made absolutely no sense.I have yet to be refunded for what they have received double payments for. Also, I was suppose to start a second round of *** with monitoring and not one person has followed up with me on the patient portal (which is also a nightmare to navigate) to see where I am at with that.After reading some reviews on the BBB, I know I am not alone in this and my situation is happening to many patients. Not having fertility treatment does not mean that they do not cover the doctor visits or the monitoring and diagnostics. It purely means that they do not coverage the actual fertility treatment such as the ***, fertility medications or IVF.Shady Grove is stealing money from some of the most vulnerable women and it is disgusting.

  Business Response

  Date: 12/02/2024

  We have contacted the patient to discuss. At ***, our global fee programs are designed for people that do not have coverage for these treatments and include specified visits needed for treatment.Occasionally, some visit types are generally covered by insurance when submitted but ultimately retracted when later realized to be associated with a non-covered service. One such visit was submitted in error, subsequently retracted, and the co-pay refunded to the patient payment method on file on Nov 19.  We apologize for the frustrations this has caused and consider this matter resolved.

   Complaint: 22551737
  
  I am rejecting this response because: The second claim (9/19/24) on was never retracted from my insurance company. After long communications with ********** Blue Shield of *****, they confirm that all consultations, provider visits, diagnostics, and labs are covered under my plan. So although Shady Grove states that this was filed with insurance as a mistake, they were not up front about this from the very first visit when I was made to pay $250 to have a consultation. This first visit was billed and covered by insurance (first claim) leaving me with a $30 co-pay. When I brought this to Shady Groves attention I was forced to pay the $30 co-pay in order to receive a refund for $220.  

  As for the *** program that I paid for with monitoring ($1300) prior to being educated on the fine print of our benefits, I do not feel that this business handles the financial aspects of women/family planning healthcare in an ethical way. If my insurance covers EVERYTHING but the actual insemination then I should have been charged for Natural *** without monitoring for $370 (Please look at the chart attached.) Had they continued to bill insurance company for all of the monitoring during that cycle it would have amount to around $945 as the one they claim to have mistakenly billed was covered for a total of $315. $945+$370=$1315. 

  Making woman pay almost a thousand dollars more for a "financial program" when only the fertility treatment itself (intrauterine insemination in my case) is not  covered, is unethical and a scam!  It's a simple act of accountability and acknowledging that this very unthoughtful process is affecting many couples in family planning with Shady Grove.

  In March of 2023 I sought out Shady Grove Fertility for infertility care. I have two main complaints. One, that they were not honest and transparent about chances for success and pushed me into buying unneeded services without all the information to meet their arbitrary timelines and second, that once care was concluded they have not been transparent or responsive with my account, failing to issue me a refund. As a result I have been out of pocket $4190.00 for going on ten months. My entire care, three IVF cycles, were all covered by my insurance and I got preauthorization prior to starting. My first cycle I was clear I did not want to do genetic testing. They really pressured me to do genetic testing. The cost, not covered by insurance, was a non refundable deposit of $1700, plus $2490. In addition, before they would start a cycle, I had to pay $1700 for cryopreservation. The 1700 and 2490 I was told would be refunded if not used. I took that to mean once we ended care, and requested the refund, we could get that money back in a reasonable amount of time. The doctor told me it was an easy process. I assumed that would be 60 days *** since many states have laws that it has to be even sooner than that. The second cycle, under pressure for success, I did submit to testing and paid the money. Even though after my first cycle my eggs never got to an embryo stage. My complaint is it was very unlikely given my age and egg quality, confirmed by testing and my first cycle, that i would even get to the stage of being able to use the genetic testing. I was pushed into services i didnt need and lost my deposit even though I never produced an embryo to test. Also, the 4190 will not be refunded until all my insurance claims are processed, even though i have no liability on them (all processed and paid) Shady grove sat on this for months. Even though my insurance processed all claims and paid them. They continue to find errors and one claim has been readjusted five times.

  In addition to clarity on your policy, I suggest a training of your claims staff - it was repeat errors in the claim submission (missing dates, numbers, etc.) that drug this out beyond a reasonable time. Further, the only action taken on the lagging claim was a result of my inquiries, not any proactiveness on the part of your staff. Had I not engaged, my claim would still be sitting there, unresolved, and I would still be out thousands of dollars. Please use the case as a learning opportunity and do better for others.

  Shady grove representatives are responsible for providing that information and letting us know what our billing responsibilities are after contacting insurance. In several messages from shady grove we were told that insurance deductible for each of us was $4,000. And that there were no code that was denied. When the bills came nothing was paid by insurance, and insurance claims they did not tell shady grove that information causing a huge issue in billing and cost to us. It is the difference between going forward with procedures or not based on financial responsibility. I had to dispute the charges and demand shady grove send it back to insurance based on their conversation with insurance that I had no part of. Next shady grove billing department not only overcharges me on the bills but does not include my full deposit that I paid out to shady grove. $1847, and $6435 On 4/30/2024 I had the embryo transfer procedure shady grove bills me ICD10 code ***** which is an embryo culture that includes the day of insemination. It is not to be used for preparation of embryo for transfer which is what that day was.I sent several messages about them using the wrong cpt code to bill me for more money incorrectly. I was transferred to billing who said they couldnt do anything, then transferred to clinical team who said they couldnt do anything. The provider then sends a message about the procedure which states "We make a culture dish and incubate it overnight (the day before the **** and then the warmed embryo goes into this dish for an hour or 2 until transfer. This is the dish we transfer the embryo out of."Which clearly shows the procedure was to prepare the embryo for transfer which the code they used is not for.I get an additional bill that they then add the correct code ***** ( preparation for embryo transfer) , however they refuse to remove the incorrect code so they can try to collect more money from me. The incorrect code is $1,800. Correct code is $770

  I am acknowledgment this response but can not close out the matter because it has not been resolved.  The bill is still due, and not taken care of.  Neither entity has concluded the matter and it is ongoing so I do not wish to close the matter until it has been concluded.  Shady grove should have the recorded call with the insurance company from January 12th to collaborate what was stated between their representatives and the insurance company so that the responsible party can pay.   I have not heard back regarding that call that was recorded, or the fees that were being charged to be in overcharging when I have proven that I was being charged for procedures that did not happen.

  I will continue to work to resolve this matter with the both Shady grove and the insurance, but at this time the complaint shall remain open as it has not been resolved.

  We did 3 cycles of IVF and 1 embryo transfer at ***. They told us each cycle we have to pay $ 2450 for egg retrieval + $1750 for cryo reserve. We had to pay everything up front, before each cycle started and also the insurance company had to approve the treatment plan before each cycle. We paid them out of pocket the amount of at least $16,598 which is much higher than the amount that they told me (3 times of $2450+$1750=$12,600). A few months later after my treatments were done, we received latest bills from *** that said we owed them $2318.72. We contacted them too many times and sent them the files to explain the amounts that we already paid. It was extremely difficult to discuss about the bills with their office. ****** never called me back when I left the voice mail to her. When I tried to contact via portal, different people replied and they did not seem to know and care about my situation.On 02/28/24 we received the pdf bill from Ms. ***** *******, ******************** Associate, via a SGFs patient portal message with statement showing 0 balance due. During the communications to clear up above billing issue, *** has contacted *** debt collector, and they have failed to update the billing status with *** since the issue resolved. Currently, *** refused to contact *** to validate debt collection request, and we have not been able to reach anyone from *** to ask them to cancel that collection request with ***. This led us to a dead end without any way to resolve the situation without being able to contact anyone from *** billing department via their portal. We tried calling *** and have not been able to reach anyone from billing department either. This has been going on for many months and it caused mentally depressions to me during pregnancy and postpartum.

   Complaint: 22000960
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  Thank you for reaching out to us and providing itemized documents. However, our main concern has not been addressed directly by multiple support agents. 
  Our concern was that, based on our bank statements and email receipts from *** that we shared, we have totally paid $16,958.15. Among this, $1,650.00 was paid to Fertility access which is a genetic testing service outside of SGF (explained by a SGFs support agent). Subtracting $1,650.00 from $16,958.15, SGF supposedly received $15308.15 ($16,958.15 - $1,650.00) to cover all the cost incurred at SGF. This $1,5308.15 amount is higher than total Patient Receipt amount of $13,438.76 from SGFs itemized statements by $1,869.39 ($15,308.15 - $13,438.76). Therefore, the main concern was what happened to the $1,869.39 that we paid but was not recorded in **** statements?
  It is worth noting that our payment methods were either direct bank transfer or cash payment to staff at **** front desk (resulted in SGFs email receipt sent by the front desk staff). We suspect some cash payments were not properly recorded somehow, as it would be much more difficult to miss an electronic bank transfer. 
  This issue has never been addressed by ***. All the agents only looked at **** statements without investigating why there was a disparity between our payment records (bank statement and SGFs email receipts) and patient receipt amount from SGFs itemized statements. 
  We would really appreciate it if SGF could directly address this issue.

  An additional thorough review was completed based on the rejection response and it was found that all payments have been accurately captured and credited to the account. There is a transposition of numbers in the complaint that creates a miscalculation in her record. It was noted that 4 payments were not made to *** proper and therefore aren't included in the *** receipt total. This was explained in detail. We consider this matter to be resolved.

  This patient's account was meticulously reviewed by many within ***. Many spreadsheets and explanations were provided to the couple. Another full expanaation occurred on 9/10 and the patient voiced understanding and was satisfied to resolve their account. We are glad to have a resolution.

  Asked up front about the pricing multiple times because a loan was necessary. Took out a loan for the amount that was quoted. Now I am constantly receiving bills for items not included in the loan and the price was not disclosed. I was told I was good for the tests and have been receiving bills a month later. This company is very deceiving in their practice.

The insurance is pending on a number of items and there are services rendered from other providers that are not billed through SGF. We have requested additional information from the patient to determine why this figure is mentioned here. We are prepared to review this directly with the patient.
