Date of service was 12/8/2021 by ********************************* who breached contract by not providing me with ****** Rich ****** procedure "using imaging guidance" which we contracted for and is clearly stated in statements dated 3/02/2022, 6/30/2022 (attached). His office made me prepaid before he rendered procedure. Attached is my Chase credit card statement dated -- for $715.00 on 12/8/2021. ******************** injured me by not using imaging guidance on 12/8/2021, and on same day of service 12/8/2021 ******************** called me on the phone and apologized to me, as did his manager ******, for not providing the contracted procedure and ******************** also verbally offered me full refund $715.00. I then notified my ********** to be expecting a $715.00 refund from ***.I received the attached letter dated 1/16/2022 from my ********** stating that my Chase account was fully credited by ****'s bank for $715.00. However, NYUL then erroneously rebilled me in Mar 2022, then apologized and voided the bill in April 2022. Then I received a bill from CT Tech collections agency and when I disputed, I was told by collections that NYUL withdrew the bill from collections in April 2022. Then NYUL rebilled me in June 2022 the same $715.00. I challenged the bills and collections and received numerous apologies from NYUL Billing, e.g., ************** of ************ on 4/13/2022 and he told me to disregard the erroneous statements for $715.00 for ******************** 12/8/2021 PRP. ****, another billing representative also called me and again apologized and told me to disregard 12/8/2021 bill for $715.00.Attached is a letter dated 8/29/2022 from CT Tech collections again stating clearly that *** had "the above referenced account [for $715.00] has been recalled by our client [***] and closed from collections." However, *** has once again erroneously rebilled me on 12/5/2022. I want *** to stop harassing me and fraudulently bill me for same $715.00 transaction their own bank had officially REFUNDED Jan 16, 2022.Business Response

On Jan. 31, 2022 I met with a specialist at this location. When they sent me the bill, the Provider was noted "as out-of-network." I contacted doctor, my insurance company, as well as *** Langone billing and told them that the provider was in-network. They indicated he was not. I went ahead and paid the bill for $560 in full, but after seeing same specialist a few times after and being charged as in-network, I knew a mistake in billing was made. It took until *** for *** billing **** to realize and admit to me they had made a mistake and they used the "individual" tax id # for Provider, instead of the "universal" tax id, and that is why my insurance processed it as out-of-network. I have since been trying to get them to re-submit the claim to BlueCross Shield so claim can be re-processed and *** can reimburse me for the $560 I had paid them. I have gotten nowhere. I have been issued numerous reference #s and every person I speak with tells me they need 30 day to have the claim resubmitted and processed. I talked to a supervisor at *** Billing about 3 weeks ago and she has not been able to help resolve the issue. I called again on December 7 and December 8 and asked to speak to ******* the supervisor again. I have been told she would call me back, but did not get any callback. I'm frustrated and feel should not take this long for them to rectify a mistake they made. I have been given the runaround and feel they have no urgency in helping me since they have my money. I would really appreciate your assistance in helping me get this resolved.Business Response

I called *** for a discount on my medical services (mid October) and they said they would get back to me. I was actively paying the debt ($100 per month) and had already paid $200 of a $500 bill when I asked for the discount. I didn't hear back from *** at all, but checked my account and saw less so I was like great a discount. I planned to just make the last 2 payments in October, but I got a notice saying that the 73 dollars discount was no discount ... they sent me to collections! Both services were done on the same day, so when I called the customer service agent said that I must have missed the calls and gotten 3 bills. I said no because wouldn't the $300 be in collections if I got 3 bills because each bill includes both. Apparently my non-discounted prices (regular bill) was a discount, which is ridiculous because who has $500 laying around. Then the second issue I had is she said that it was sent to collections because even tho I made a payment the month it was sent into collections of $100 (made a payment on the September 5) and it was sent into collections on the 20th of the same month, somehow I'm supposed to call for a payment plan because there is no option on the website for it. Normally a hospital works with their patients because they want them to pay something even if they can't pay it all but I won't be going here again, they don't care if you can't afford it even if you are paying. Financially I cannot afford **** in medical bills (I have another bill for 892 that I haven't been sent yet and yes I will be calling for a discount because I cannot afford 892 ... who can in expensive a** ***) but *** probably thinks maybe I shouldn't get sick because obviously I'm the issue.Business Response
