Preferred Construction Services Ltd.

I have reviewed the response offer made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below
Thank you for your responseHowever, much of the information that was statesd in your response is falseAccording to your written statement, your office called and were told by the insurance company that the dental images were coveredI took your advice and checked with my insurance companyThey do not have a record of your office ever calling to verify insurance, let alone requesting information about X-ray coverage The insurance company captures a phone number, records all phone calls, and has a written record of every call *** Dental does not have any of these regarding the date of serviceHowever, they do have a record of ***from your office calling on 4/29/at 7:am and asking why services were not coveredIf an associate from your office called, they would have been notified that a full mouth series was not coveredIn addition, there would have been a record of the call. The fact is that your office thought it was new insurance and failed to contact the insurance companyEven after being asked directly by the patient to verify that the images were covered, your office chose to tell the patient that they were coveredThe office staff continued to say it was new insurance and the patient was coveredThe patient told the staff it is new insurance, but he had the insurance in another stateI understand that in some cases this may be accurate, however if you tell a patient that you called and did not there is a problem. I am extremely disappointed by the actions associated with your officeIt appears that someone from the office staff failed to do their job and is trying to cover up their mistake at our expenseAs a business you cannot assure the patient that something is covered under informationIf a patient is told that something is covered, under the assurance that verification has been made, then it should be coveredEspecially when it appears that the verification was never made

We received the complaint filed with the Revdex.com on 04/29/2015 that you wrote regarding your husband.We apologize for any inconvenience you and your husband have experienced. We assure you that weare concerned about customer service and always strive to provide our patients with exceptional dentalcare....

In prov¡ding such care we attempt to take radiographs on all new patients to have the mostcomprehensive understanding for our patients needs. As a patient you always have the right to denyany service that you do not want. We assure you that our office did everything we could do to verifyyour husband's insurance benefits.  Our office receives a limited amount of information from yourinsurance company; the insurance company will supply you (the patient) with more information as youhave a contract with the company.  We do have every patient sign our office policy that states that thepatient will be responsible for any services not paid by the dental insurance carrier.  Perhaps yourcomplaint should be with your dental insurance carrier as they said your husband was elìgible forspecific services and later denied payment. We also offered you the option to pay your balance inpayments due to the misunderstanding with your insurance carrier. Again. we apologize for themisunderstanding and any inconvenience that you may have experienced. Our office takes pride ¡ntreating our patients like friends and family. We wish you and your husband great dental health in thefuture and we are regretful that you feel like we cannot provide your dental care.Please feel free to contact us with any further questions.Thank You,[redacted], DDS[redacted], DMD
