  Hello *****, 

  It is the hospital policy to have an Anesthesiologist and CRNA on cases so the Group (**) does not create the policy, the hospital does.

  PRVA  ******** - We received a rejection from your insurance so we had to appeal in order to get it paid. After your insurance processed the claim, we billed you $66 per your insurance EOB stating the patient balance.

  **** ******** - We received a rejection from your insurance so we had to appeal in order to get it paid. After his insurance processed the claim, we billed you $66 per your insurance EOB stating the patient balance.

  Anything on your hospital bill stating Anesthesia is for the anesthesia drugs and other things associated, which we dont have any control over as we are a separate entity from the hospital and we don't have anything to do with their billing.

  If you have any questions please feel free to give us a call.

  Thanks

  Hello ****, 

  Unfortunately, we only received the payment EOB in March 2023, this was paid in 2022.  However,******* Statute of limitations for collecting Medical Debt is 6 years, so are within our time limit.

  Let me know if there is anything else I am able to help you with.

  Kind Regards

  Anesthesia business consultants overcharged me for their services. They sent me a refund a check to correct their overcharging. I deposited the check in my bank. They then stopped payment and would not honor the check. The bank sent the check back to me, took the amount out of my account, and charge me a five dollar service fee. The bank said that the reason for returning the check was refer to maker I called them and they referred me to a different office but I have never heard back from them.

  In November of 2021 I had knee surgery. I received a bill after this particular outfit had billed both my primary and secondary insurance. The secondary insurance included on their EOB that they had to accept the full amount as payment and could not bill me for any additional amounts. In January of 2022, I received a bill from them in the amount of $72.63. I disregarded the bill because I received an EOB stating that I did not owe them anything. In February, I received another bill from them for the same amount. I contacted them and was told to disregard the bill because it was an error and it would be correct. In March, I received another bill from them and I contacted them AGAIN and received the same response. In April, I emailed them asking for details on a resolution and if it had been corrected. No one ever responded. In July of 2022, I received a notice from a debt collector that they had transferred my account for collections. That was the 5th of July. It is now the 26th of July and it still has not been corrected. I want it fixed and I want a letter stating it was an error on their part.

  [You must provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution. Please type details here:] notified  me when? I have not received anything from this company stating anything to what they are claiming now. I want proof in the form of a zero balance statement and a letter that details their error so that I can report it to credit agencies if necessary. This error that they are being so nonchalant about is a big deal and I have been requesting for them to fix it it for months and Im supposed to just accept this response with no proof?

  After further review and contacting the patients insurance, we discovered the insurance carrier applied all allowable balances to the patients deductible. The patient has paid all of their responsibility and no refund is due. An email was sent to the patient on 8/1/22 and left a voice message for the patient on 8/4/22.

  I never asked for a refund. The business in question sent me to collections for money I did not owe. My insurance - both of them, paid them in full as required by law. They just decided they wanted to double bill me and collect on monies that I do not owe them. They never left a message. The lies this company tells is truly amazing.

  Hello.

  I apologize for an inconvenience this has caused.  In reviewing the account, the primary and secondary insurance did pay and there was no balance owed by the patient.  

  Thanks.

  Hello.

   

  We have been working diligently on this patients account as the refund to her credit card was stuck between the vender and our system.  We have escalated this and cut a paper check and mailed it to the patient on 10/05/2021. 

  Thanks.

  I will not accept this as finished or completed until I have received the check and it has cleared the bank.  And they did not work diligently on this refund at all. Nobody did anything until I stated that I was going seek legal action and that I had contacted the BBB.  Only the actual company (the people that completed the procedure) responded to any request that I made.  The company out of **************** should not be allowed to do business.
