On 12-03-2022 My daughter was seen at the Hospital and provided all important information for insurance purposes since my daughter was insured. Months later I got 2 separate bills gave them a call and they said the receptionist didn't get the insurance info correctly so they stopped billing me after again providing them with all that was needed. A year later I'm constantly getting harassing calls saying that my bill is past due that I need to get in payment plans and that my insurance was not able to identify me. I spoke to my insurance company and they send me a receipt and a letter stating that they have been paid of and I didn't owe anything. I spoke to them once again and they escalated by saying that they are unaware of that and that payment has to be done. I'm constantly getting Emails, Calls, Txt messages and letters harassing me asking for money.Account#**************Business response

Dear Representative,
Our office has received a letter of complaint regarding the above referenced account for treatment received from Compass Point Emergency Physicians at *********** ER 24/4 on December 2, 2022. The account has been reviewed for billing accuracy and a brief history is provided for your assistance.
After service the emergency services of *************************, the claim was sent to ************** on January 11, 2023. The claim was denied and redirected to Texas Childrens Health plan on March 27, 2023. This claim was denied saying there was no coverage on this date of services and a bill was then mailed to the guarantor on April 23, 2023. A bill was also mailed to the guarantor on May 13, 2023, and June 12, 2023. The patients mother called on June 27, 2023 to discuss the insurance information and why the claim was denied by their insurance. During that call, it was discovered that our claim was reflecting the incorrect date of service. The phone representative had the date of service corrected and a corrected claim was sent to the insurance carrier on August 3, 2023.
***************** called again on March 7, 2024, after the claim was denied by Texas Childrens Health Plan once again. During this call, it was also discovered that the patient was actually covered by Texas Childrens Star and not Texas Childrens Health Plan.A correct claim has been sent to the correct insurance plan and the patients account remains on hold while we await the insurance plans response.

My daughter visited the ** for service in 8/2022. I have PPO health insurance and paid my copay during the visit. Almost a year and a half later in Jan 2024 I received a bill for $1358 for a physician who saw my daughter during that visit. I contacted my insurance to inquire as to why the bill was sent to me and they informed me that Envision dropped the ball and tried to bill the insurance after the 180 day period so the bill was denied. Envision is now disputing with my insurance and instead of holding the bill while in this process, they send the bill to collections on 2/22/24. It is not my fault that this bill was not submitted to my insurance within the required time frame. It is concerning that this bill was sent to collections only weeks after I was made aware of it and during an appeal process. Very unprofessional and unorganized. This bill would have been paid by insurance if submitted in a timely manner to my insurance. Thier ignorance to the sitution should not make it my responsibility. It makes me wonder if this is even a legit bill and why I was not made aware of it until nearly a year and a half later.Business response

Hello,
We have received the patient's complaint and appreciate your patience awaiting this reply.
Upon review of the referenced account, we found that the patient's insurance retracted their payment. Unfortunately we were not provided with a reason for the retraction. During a phone conversation with one of our *************** Agents on 12/13/23, the patient was advised to contact her insurance carrier to inquire about the retracted payment. As a courtesy, we will place the account on hold for ******************************************* her insurance.

I am rejecting this response because:I spoke with ******** and they said that the hospital paid you already. ******** does not show any rejection of pay. The man on the phone for ******** said you are not allowed to come after me and that this is not my responsibility to handle this problem. They stated you are not allowed to double dip and their services say that you have already been paid. I need you to stop contacting me. I do not owe you any money. ******** needs to solve this. I spoke with them and they said it was your problem and that I don't have to do anything else.

I received a bill from this company. The bill stated they did not have the correct insurance information. I have called numerous times over the 4 months even did a three way call with my insurance company to get them the information they needed and I am still getting billed stating they do not have the correct insurance information. I have spoken with my insurance company and they state they have not received a claim. Over the last two weeks when calling and asking to speak with a supervisor I was hung up on 6 times. I have spent countless hours trying to get this resolved with no response on Envision Physicians services except to threaten turning into collections and adding on more money for being late.Business response

********************* Kru ****** 10/30/2022
To whom it may concern,
We have received a complaint from the Better Business Bureau regarding the above account for treatment received at Inland ********************* by Riverside County Medical Services,on October 30, 2022.
We have spoken with the patients mother numerous times. We have billed at least two different insurance companies no fewer than 11 times, based on information provided by the patients mother. If the patients mother has provided correct insurance information, then there is no coverage available and the patient is responsible for the bill.
We billed ********************* on 11/28/2022 and received a denial on 12/09/2022. We billed the correct insurance per the insurance company on 12/14/2022 and received a denial on 2/6/2023. We tried billing the insurance again and it came back to us denied on 2/19/2023. On 2/23/2023 we sent a statement reading your insurance company has informed us that they cannot identify you as a member. If you do not have insurance you are responsible for the balance. On 3/7/2023 we received a call from the patients Mom and requested we bill the insurance but she had no address for the insurance. We rebilled the same insurance we had on file because the same information was given. On 7/18/2023 we received a call from the patients Mom to update the insurance, we updated it and billed the insurance. We received a denial from that insurance company stating the coverage had been terminated. The patients Mom called us on 8/31/2023 requesting we contact the insurance with her on the line. We advised her the insurance would have to contact us. On 9/1/2023 the Insurance and the patients mom called us but the call was dropped. The insurance company called us back on 9/1/2023 and gave us all the insurance information. We billed the insurance as given by the insurance company. We received a denial from that insurance company requesting us to bill the insurance that denied it previously.We sent a statement on 9/21/2023, 10/21/2023 and 11/19/2023. The patients Mom called on 11/20/2023 and requested a supervisor. Our patient Liaison called her back and received all the same insurance information previously given. It was billed again. We are awaiting a response from the insurance.
