      I visited CareNow Urgent Care located ************************************ on two occasions. First, on 07/01/2024 for an injury and on 11/30/2024 for an infection. In both cases, my insurance was accepted, and I paid my co-pay of $50. Yet I received multiple bills afterwards. I contacted ***** ***** the ********** broker who brokered my insurance. He confirmed that it would be taken care of by the insurance. Yet I kept on receiving various bills from CareNow Urgent Care with amounts that varied. On 04/09/2025 I sent a message on CareNow Urgent Care portal and registered a letter to ************************************. This letter stated that: Under the No Surprises Act, Texas House Bill 2941 (Texas Insurance Code Chapter 1467), and the Texas Consumer Protection Against Balance Billing Act, patients are entitled to transparent billing practices and protection from unexpected charges when using in-network providers. Additionally, the Texas Administrative Code Title 28, Part 1, Chapter 21, Subchapter PP specifically regulates out-of-network claim dispute resolution and prohibits balance billing by in-network providers. By accepting my insurance and collecting only the co-payment at the time of service, the CareNow Urgent Care facility created a reasonable expectation that no additional charges would be incurred except those properly documented and explained after insurance processing.I never received any answer from CareNow Urgent Care, but continued to receive requests for payment. On 07/02/2025, I received a letter from ***************, a debt collector, requesting $281.00. CareNow Urgent Care never tried to contact me in response to my electronic message or my registered letter.I demand to stop the debt collection and my account to be closed.

      I went to Care Now Urgent care in **********, ********** on May 21, 2025. I was charged a rate (which I thought was a little much, but accepted), because I was very sick. I signed 'the admissions form' and 'consent to be charged' for the services rendered THAT DAY. Today, June, 4, 2025, I see a charge from Care Now for $165.08 on the same cc used for the initial visit. I called the customer service line and was told that 'I authorized my cc to be charged'. I advised that I do NOT consent to my cc to be charged beyond the date of service and that I insisted that they delete my cc information and to send me a bill - as I am disputing the (in my opinion) an unauthorized charge.I also stated that I thought it was pretty terrible that in their multi-page 'agreement' that very sick and vulnerable people are completing for health care assistance that buried in there is consent to randomly charge a credit card after date of service.

      Business Response

      Date: 06/25/2025

      Good Afternoon: Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the consumer's concerns regarding the charges to her account.  Please note our records indicate the patient signed a Credit Card On File Authorization form, which substantiates why we charged her card after we received the insurance payment. The balance on her account was due to her deductible with her insurance payor. The consumer then disputed the charges with her credit card company; therefore, the patient still has a balance with CareNow. 

      Please have the patient reach out to us directly if we may provide any additional assistance or information.

      Complete and utter RUBBISH of an establishment. I received care on January 21st, 2025 and made the full payment after my visit. In March 2025, I received a notice that I owe an additional $9.60. I was confused by this additional expense, but I decided to pay it in full (March 24 2025), to get them off my back. Despite having received a payment receipt email from CareNow themselves that I've paid this amount, CareNow keeps spamming me with outstanding bills of $9.60. I have called, emailed, and done everything that the representatives told me to to resolve this issue, but YET I keep getting notices of outstanding payments. I am now doubting the validity of this charge, and am requesting a refund of this amount. I am asking CareNow to (1) please stop sending these payment requests and (2) to justify why an additional $9.60 was needed on top of my original payment for my care.This so-called "urgent care" is a complete and utter scam and fraud. One wonders if their "payment glitches" are a means to extract more cash from their unsuspecting customers. Avoid at all costs!

      I am an Indian national residing in the *********** who visited CareNow Urgent Care - *********** (*****) on October 10, 2024 for a medical emergency while traveling in the *************. CareNow Patient account number#********. During my visit, I provided my Philippine-issued credit card and paid for the medical services rendered at that time.However, in March 2025 nearly five months later CareNow charged the same card again without any prior notice, explanation, or consent. I was not informed during or after my visit that any additional billing would occur, nor did I authorize any delayed charges.After I noticed the charge on my billing statement, I contacted the clinic. They admitted the delayed charge and agreed to issue a refund. Unfortunately, instead of refunding the amount directly back to my credit card which is the proper and industry-standard method they chose to send a physical cheque to my address in the ************This refund method is problematic and unfair because:It involves lengthy international mail delivery delays. I am being charged interest on the disputed amount while waiting. My bank has suspended my card and charged replacement fees I have to bear the cost of cheque processing and conversion in my home country I am requesting that CareNow resolve this matter fairly by:Refunding the charge directly to the original credit card, or Issuing an international wire transfer if a card refund is truly not possible, and covering any costs Ive incurred due to this error.I simply want a proper resolution for a charge that was made incorrectly and handled in a way that puts all the burden on me.

      It has been over a month since I was informed that the cheque was sent, yet I have still not received it. I have followed up multiple times requesting the tracking number, but I have not received any response or details to help me trace its delivery on my end.

      Additionally, the charge was made to my credit card without my authorization. According to standard credit card dispute and refund policies, any refund should have been processed directly back to the credit card used for the transaction—not issued via cheque. This deviation from standard practice has caused unnecessary complications and delays.

      To make matters worse, my credit card was charged without my authorization. As a result, I am now incurring interest charges while awaiting the cheque. Since the cheque needs to be deposited in my bank in the Philippines and cleared through the U.S. system, this delay is causing significant inconvenience and financial burden.

      I request immediate attention to this matter, for them to provide the tracking number without further delay and clarify why the unauthorized charge occurred. If the cheque has not yet been sent, I strongly urge you to resolve this via a faster, more reliable method.

      It has been well over a month since I was informed that the cheque was sent, yet I have not received it to date. Despite multiple follow-ups, I have not been provided with any tracking information to trace it on my end.

      Additionally, the charge was made to my credit card without my authorization. According to standard credit card dispute and refund policies, any refund should have been processed directly back to the credit card used for the transaction—not issued via cheque. This deviation from standard practice has caused unnecessary complications and delays.

      To make matters worse, because of this, I am now incurring interest on the unauthorized charge until the cheque is received, deposited into my bank in the Philippines, and cleared through the U.S. system. This has placed an unfair financial burden on me for a mistake that was not mine.

      I request your immediate action on this matter. Please:

      Provide the tracking details of the cheque without further delay.
      Explain why the refund was not processed back to my credit card.

      Initiate corrective action to resolve this issue promptly.

      I am being unrightfully billed for services that were not provided. I requested a full refund via email and have not heard anything back. No services were provided at the time of the visit, and my daughter was turned away due to this office not having the correct medical equipment. I was advised to request a full refund by CareNow customer service. When I contacted them for the third time, CareNow billed my insurance for an office visit. I verified with BlueCross Blue Shield that CareNow claimed an office visit. This includes blood pressure and temperature checks. I don't believe this should qualify as an office visit when we were referred to another hospital with no services provided or treatment plan. The office staff referred my daughter to **** Childrens Hospital and still billed me insurance and charged my card for $180.00 It's been several weeks with no communication from CareNow.

      I went to CareNow on August 12, 2024 and I paid a co-pay of $30. I had provided insurance and had assumed all I would need to pay was my copay and as I received no further correspondence I assumed the visit handled. Fast forward to the beginning of April when I received a bill for the full amount of $376 showing that insurance paid nothing. I immediately called to discover that they had the incorrect insurance information, I updated the insurance information and they said they would reprocess the claim and send an updated bill if there was one. On April 28th I received a text message saying I had a bill, upon logging in I saw a $46 bill amount owed and assumed that was my balance after the correct insurance had processed. Today, 5/2/25, my wife happened to be checking a credit card of ours that we rarely used and found two charges from CareNow, one on 4/1/25 for $150 and one on 4/23/25 for $180. I immediately called and was told that these amount plus the $46 I had paid was to cover my August bill. The first representative was very unhelpful and said that while they saw I called that there was no new insurance information. The second ****** we spoke with saw all the correct information and said that the claim was processing but despite this CareNow had decided to split the bill into two payments which they processed on their own and to bill us for the remaining amount. None of this was made clear when I called as soon as I received the bill and called. I also don't know why the first correspondence I received regarding an appointment in August 2024 was in April of 2025. When I called to check with my insurance today they said they had received no claims from CareNow. So bottom line, I need to be refunded my $376 as I paid a copay during my visit and there should be no further charges.

      Per a follow up call with CareNow yesterday 5/5/25 - When I spoke to them on 5/2, they said the claim was sent to the correct insurance on 4/2. Yesterday, they told me that they had sent it to the wrong insurance on 4/2 and had supposedly sent it to the correct insurance on 5/2. I continue to get different information whenever I speak with someone.

      Urgent care visit on 02/01/2025 and I paid the $20 copay. Later, my bank account was debited $180.00. I called CareNow on 02/18/25 to inquire about the $180 fee. I was told that I was charged the fee because there was no ordering physician. My discharge documents listed the ordering physicians name which I gave to the CareNow representative. I was told that it would take ***** days to resolve the issue. Today, May 1, 2025, I spoke with a CareNow customer service person (****) who told me that they are still working on the issue. My ********** Advantage representative (******) had a three-way conversation with ****** and I on April 1, 2025, for 32 minutes, and CareNow was informed that my visit on February 1, should have been covered except for my copay which I paid the fee.

      After reading the response from the CareNow corporate headquarters, I am, for lack of a better word, dubious concerning their answer. Therefore, I would like to decline the offer at this time and request the BBB to please not close the case until I  have a more definitive answer. I have been dealing with this company for nearly three (3) months with no communication and certainly not a resolution.

      I spoke with my insurance company (*****) on 5/12/2025 and was told that I did not owe any money except for a $20 copay which I paid on 02/01/2025. So I am not sure what CareNow is referring to by the statement of waiting for the insurance adjudication.

      As of 5-14-25 the Leadership of our corporate central billing team resubmitted the patient's claim for adjudication. More time is needed for the insurance payor to respond. TY

      I went to this facility on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 and 11:40am. I was seen by **************** I went in with a bug bite that had formed a know under the skin. I thought is was possible cellulitis. When the *** came in i explained everything and she states " you can't get bit by a bug there. That is not from a bug bite that is a mass and needs to be removed immediately.". I was then given two sheets of paper, 1 was a referral to a General Surgeon, and 1 was for a ultrasound. When I asked where I should go for an ultrasound i was told to ****** it. Again the paperwork stated I had a mass, tumor and needed immediate removal. I found a place for the ultrasound, but the orders were not filled out correctly. They had no proper medical code for the imaging place to use. I was asked to call Care Now and get the orders corrected and faxed over. I called 7 times and was placed on hold for 45 plus minutes each time. I told the receptionist what I needed and that I had called x times and she said "yea, we're busy" put me on hold and never would come back. Thankfully the imaging placed work with me and I got in to my primary care *** ******* it is now 1 week later and I have yet to hear ANYTHING from the ** at CareNow. Guess what it is cellulitis!!!!!! I needed antibiotics. Not a surgeon. She didn't even listen to me!!!! First a reputable ** would NEVER tell someone they have a mass and then just send them off! Second what if I didn't have a PCP and I was STILL WAITING for follow-up care??????? I could be septic by now. Do better! You have lives at stake here. I want at least 1/2 of my payment this facility refunded as I was not properly treated or listened to.

      I am extremely disappointed with the experience my daughter had at CareNow. On March 10, she web-checked into Plano Tx. CareNow location. She purchased the *************** Membership over the phone because the system was down, paying $40 for the membership and $68 for the sick visit using her own card. However, on March 19, an unauthorized charge of $168 appeared on my husbands credit ***** completely different card that was never used at any point during her visit. When he called to ask why this charge was made, the staff hung up on him, stating he was unauthorized to discuss the charge. How is he unauthorized, but CareNow was somehow authorized to charge his card?Serious Issues That Need to Be Addressed:1.Unauthorized Billing Why was my husbands card charged when my daughter, an adult, used a different card for payment on March 10? We demand a refund of this unauthorized charge.2.Lack of Billing Transparency My daughter purchased the *************** Membership because she does not have insurance. Nowhere on the CareNow website does it state that simple tests are billed separately. Yet, CareNow charged an outrageous $168 for routine testswithout any prior disclosure. This is misleading and completely unfair to patients who are already struggling with medical expenses.This is completely unacceptable, and I am requesting a full refund immediately.

      CareNow is showing complete lack of accountability with their billing practices. 


      I received a voicemail from Myra at the Plano location asking me to call back regarding this matter. That was nine days ago. Since then, I’ve called back twice and left messages, and no one has returned my calls.


      It’s extremely disappointing to see that CareNow doesn’t seem to care about resolving unauthorized charges or communicating.  Based on this experience, it feels like they’ll charge any card they can access — whether or not it was authorized or not, for the visit. That is completely unacceptable, and I will be continuing to escalate this issue until it’s addressed.

      I am rejecting this response because:   Care now response claims that a refund check has been mailed, but on June 10th, the clinic manager Mayra called my husband and asked for the last four digits of his credit card and the billing address, if a check was issued, why did she request credit card information? This inconsistency raises concerns about Care Now billing transparency. Also, Mayra's behavior on both calls (June 4th at 11:53 am and June 10th at 12:11 pm) was very unprofessional. She was rude, dismissive and not once apologized. When I asked when to expect the refund after providing the information that she requested, she said, "I don't know", also in the previous call when I questioned how my husband's card was charged, she responded, "Ma'am I didn't go into your husband's wallet and charge his card." This kind of response is completely unacceptable and unprofessional coming from a clinic manager. My family and I have been patients at Care Now Plano for many years, I have never submitted a complaint before, I always pay my bills. But because of how this situation was handled, with zero accountability or empathy, we will not be returning to Care Now Plano. At this point, I want clarification on how I will receive the refund, when was the check mailed? Also confirm that this balance will not be placed on my daughter's account, especially after all the errors and confusion caused by Care Now.
