I am rejecting this response because: It’s interesting that labcorp states that their billing practices are fair and at market rateThat doesn’t explain why there is a class action for common law fraud and deceptive practices that is ongoing for the exact issue I am complaining about here: [redacted] Labcorp can either choose to accept the $I have offered which is what usual and customary is, or they can look forward to seeing me in small claims court for common law fraud or as part of this class action I have nothing but time to deal with ss like this companyThey’re very similar to the people I deal with as a fraud investigatorSend me to collections, and I’ll sue you for punitive damages for this deceptive and fraudulent behaviorAnd be sure that I will keep calling labcorp billing just to waste your time and money since l did not get a callback from a manager as promised on 4/10/

Our records indicate the following: LabCorp received a specimen for testing from Ms. ***'s ordering physician on 08/17/2015. Please be advised CPT codes are an industry standard, which represent the procedures performed, based on the testing ordered. LabCorp provides the insurance carrier with the procedure codes accordingly. LabCorp, however, is a clinical lab which relies on the ordering physician to diagnose the patient. No diagnosis information was received, however, with Ms. ***'s specimen. When LabCorp receives a [redacted] patient's lab work, and no diagnosis coding is provided, [redacted] has requested LabCorp input a "general laboratory" diagnosis. This enables LabCorp to electronically submit the charges to [redacted] expediently. LabCorp submitted the charges to Ms. ***'s [redacted] carrier, with the general lab diagnosis, on 08/19/2015. [redacted] replied to LabCorp on 08/26/2015, applying the balance of $69.49 to Ms. [redacted] deductible. LabCorp billed Ms. [redacted] credit card on 08/28/2015, per the patient's credit card authorization given. LabCorp has since received additional diagnosis information from Ms. ***'s physician's office. A request has been forwarded to our refund department, which will be applied to Ms. ***'s credit card. Ms. [redacted] should allow up to 15 days for the refund to be completed. The charges, with the additional diagnosis information, will be submitted back to [redacted] for reconsideration, once the refund is completed. Should there be any patient responsibility, upon receipt of [redacted] response, LabCorp will invoice Ms. [redacted] accordingly. All billing has been suspended at this time, pending the refund and [redacted] reprocessing. LabCorp would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any inconvenience Ms. [redacted] has experienced pertaining to this matter.

It's sad that I had to involve Revdex.com to get LabCorp to change the responsible party for the bill Dr [redacted] had called LabCorp directly numerous times over the last months trying to change the responsible party, and LabCorp was completely incompetent and unprofessionalDoctors are busy people and they should not have to put up with such incompetenceThank you Revdex.com!
