  ******************* (Medical practice)We are attempting to transition our fax service to AT/&T. Unfortunately, AT/&T has indicated that they have been unable to obtain the necessary PIN from ******************** to complete the porting of our fax line.This issue has now persisted for over a month, significantly impacting our daily business operations. As a temporary measure, we have incurred additional costs for an efax service to ensure we can still receive faxes. However, this workaround has caused considerable delays and inefficiencies within our office due to the unresolved porting issue and the apparent lack of response from Updox.We have attempted to contact customer support but have found that the only available option is chat, and the representatives have stated they cannot assist with this specific problem. We have been unable to speak with a live representative who might be able to resolve this.There business practice is very poor and the lack of response that is causing us to spend additional monies is unacceptable.

  This company has tried to charge my card 18 times since January 16th. Thankfully the first time they tried to charge my card; they tried to use an old card number they somehow got. Today, 2/18, they managed to get my new card numbers and charged my card. I was able to dispute the charge, so no money has been given to the company. However, I cannot simply keep changing my credit card number; it is highly impractical. There have been no other breaches to my information. I attempted to contact them via support email on 1/25 so that they knew they wouldn't be getting the money from whoever is trying to use my card if that is the case, and I received no response. I attempted to chat online, and "********" stated, "Unfortutantly this is the technical support team, and we dont have access to billing information. However, I see that you submitted a ticket to our billing team a few minutes ago. Someone from that department will reach out to you as soon as possible. Have a great rest of your day!" I also attempted to chat with them on ******** and did not receive a reply. I also attempted to call the number listed online and on the BBB website and it has been disconnected. I am not sure if this company is a scam, but it sure feels like it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  Updox has terrible customer service and unreasonable business practices! UPdox never got back to my office when I had my assistant call them in May to discuss my account as I knew that our annual contract was up for renewal in October. Then contacted them again in July and then September. Never heard back from them in May. They completed just one of the tasks we asked of them in July. In Sept had to wait 4 days for a return call and was told it was too late to cancel or change my subscription. They stopped sending me (owner of the company) invoices and notices about my upcoming renewal. It is very difficult as a busy professional to have to call multiple times to get a task done, which makes running a medical practice nearly impossible.We signed up with Updox in 2020 through our electronic medical record Practice Fusion. Even though we have 2 providers in our practice, we have experienced economic hardship (payment delays from insurance companies and patients not paying for services) in our practice so only 1 provider sees patients and the other covers for the practice and rarely sees patients. When I spoke with UPdox's rep ***** in October, I asked for our subscription to be cancelled and was told it was too late, which I honored. I wrote a letter of financial hardship asking Updox to reduce our subscription from 2 providers to 1 and was told their leadership team has refused my request. I was stuck having to pay a whopping $3970.30 for the entire year until October 2025 when our contract finally cancels. I think that considering I have been a customer of theirs since ******************************************** out, especially since I was willing to remain a customer and not outright cancel my subscription with them. Just very disappointed in my interactions with Updox and will be contacting Practice Fusion to let them know about my experiences. I would not have had to deal with Updox in the 1st place if Practice Fusion was connected with Updox.

  Hi There:

  Thank you for getting back to me.  I have attached the most recent invoice from October in this email as well as a copy of the letter of financial hardship I wrote to UPdox.  I tried looking for a copy of the contract with Updox and I am unable to locate one.  I honestly can't remember if I signed one back in 2020.

  I reached out to Updox to make changes to my subscription as I knew my one year obligation was about over and i had not received any notification or correspondence from the company and I did not know how the renewal worked. I was informed my change requests were denied because I missed the deadline by several weeks and I was now obligated for an additional 12 months to the same contract because of a clause in the contract about having to provide notice 60 days prior to the end of the term to make any changes of which I was not aware.

  I signed up with Updox because I had no other option to utilize telehealth through the electronic health record I chose. I am a brand knew business owner. Yes, I signed a contract, but I have worked in the healthcare industry for many years and never have I seen a contract that if you do not cancel within 60 days of the end of the contract they renew you for a WHOLE year. So now I get to pay them a monthly fee of $54.97 for 12 months for absolutely NOTHING. Because they have a very crooked way of doing business. Their system is useless except for the use of HIPAA compliant videos. I have paid them for 1 year of $54.97 and used their services. But the next 12 months worth of $659.64 will be a gift to them, and one I have a feeling they get often! They are a SCAM. I would like all who even consider using them to be aware of their tactics before they wind up in my situation.

  Awful costumer service. I have issues with the application for the past few days, I have left voice mail messages and nobody returns my calls. I have engaged on live chart and they provide no professional solution to the issue other than "re-start your computer". I am the provider and I need to accommodate my time to them and deal with their lack of efficiency. This is what happens when we work with companies that provide "remote" assistance. Shame on you Updox, you know when to expect when the contract is over

  Updox has overbilled due to an admitted software problem.
  
  Also, I cancelled our contract in writing due to the overbilling. They refused and kept billing.
  
  The contract ended 10/25/2023, and they just kept billing

  We let Dr ****** out of his contract even though we had a right to renew it since he did not give the required 60 days notice per the master service agreement. He still owes payment for August and September invoices.

  This was a service that never fully delivered. They were supposed to resolve the issue of fixing the appointments/reminders for our clinic and was never able to resolve the issue and now is asking for us to pay the entire year's service.
  We were told that they will have someone from their team assist us fix the issue as the platform wasn't able to do our expected appointments confirmations appropriately and were not able to create a fix for our telehealth reminder calls. We offered to pay the 1st month service only as we only had the service thru the 3rd week, not even completing a month's service. They now want to send us for collections when we explained what happened and we are agreeing to pay the $240.40 service for 1 month's service only. We reached out to them numerous times to pay the 1 month service and they have not agreed to do this.

  I am rejecting this response because: We were not advised of a timeframe for the pause of the service.  We were waiting for UpDox to assist us resolve the service issues we have brought up to them.  We were in touch with them numerous times and they never responded to our queries nor were they able to present any resolution to our issues of creating a better service tailored to what we needed.  They have repeatedly opened a ticket each time we reached out by email to their customer support, and we have asked for someone to call us so we can settle the first month's bill since nothing was done to resolve our issues.  To this day, nobody even tried to rectify the issue nor the billing.

  Dear BBB Support Team:  We were asking UpDox to bill us only for the 1st month of the service since they were not able to resolve our issue when we continuously reached out to them to see what they can do to tailor what we need to make the service work for us.

  We were in contact with *** ******** who was the person who we've dealt with when the service was offered to us.  No service contract was provided to us that mentioned that we cannot cancel if we're not satisfied with their service.  We spoke to *** early on during the initial kickoff which was around the 3rd week of their initial kickoff and we have requested if they can assist us with a better, working platform for our patients.  *** said he will speak with his team and from there on, we didn't hear any other feedback from them.  We specifically said if their platform is not the right service for us, and if they can't do anything more to tailor a working service that would improve our patients appointments confirmations, then that means there's no reason for us to continue on.  We were not told at any given time that we will continue to be billed.  All we were told was that they will see what they can do for us.

  Now, they are billing us for the remainder of the year's fee and when I asked why we were never sent a contract agreement, they said the email communication was good enough which is unacceptable.  

  At this time, we are willing to pay the 1st month's service, nothing else as they have not been very upfront with their service resolution, and up to this time, we have not used their service as it never worked to for us.

  Thanks.

  Hey ******,
  
  I hope you have had a nice week! Hopefully I haven’t kept you waiting on this update for too long, it’s been a bit of a crazy week. I do have confirmation that we are in agreement that it’s a fair and strong solution to go ahead and “pause” your account and the agreement that we put in place to sign up the account. I got confirmation from our customer success team that as long as we have an agreed upon timeline for when you’d like for the agreement to resume, we would be more than happy to work with you and accommodate that. The technicality that I was told to point out however, is that in these situations when an agreement starts but we pause it before we get the first payments, we will just go ahead and effectively “re-start” the agreement when you are comfortable and ready. That way the original agreement is completed in full, but at a more comfortable and agreeable pace that works much better for your practice.
  
  I will of course coordinate this for you too, and I was told that really the only thing for now that we need (for me to go ahead and get the agreement stopped, until your ready) is for you to tell me that confirm the date you’d like us to plan on reconnecting to resume the agreement. It’s ok if there is some uncertainty in the date, we can adjust as we go as long as you let us know if you need more time too.
  
  Hopefully this feels like a strong resolution and makes sense, but please let me know if not. Thanks for your patience and understanding while I get you this update too. I will keep an eye out for your feedback as always, and I hope you also have a nice weekend! 
  
  Best,

  On 6/21/23 an invoice an annual renewal invoice was sent from UpDox to our office. The same day the invoice was sent, the credit card that Updox has processed in the past was charged - without authorization or any pre-notification of the card being charged. Updox has never been able to provide the notification they allegedly sent ahead of the invoice and subsequent, same day charge. After reaching out to the billing customer service team, the representative stated that a refund for the amount of $2184.00 was unable to be refunded and the contract we signed upon agreement years ago with them was never able to be furnished via UpDox. They are now stating a refund denial and that we can have access to the platform until June of 2024 as that is the total amount charged for the year.
