In response to the complaint I have reviewed correspondences between the individual patient and our billing company and have found that there has been no communication with the billing company for Tri-County Emergency Physicians or my office to assist with outstanding bill (in collections) in the...

amount of $654.00.  Therefore, the communication must have been between the collection agency ONLY.  [redacted] is a separate entity who receives outstanding bills when no action or response is made on an account in order to collect bad debt.  The last documented correspondence with the patient with our billing company (not collections) on the account was a paper statement dated 2.21.16 before to going into collections for a 11.3.2015 service date.  The phone calls and paper statements prior to going to collections are in attempt to update any information provided at the time of visit at the respective hospital so that the proper insurance company can be billed appropriately and/or cases are made where affordable payment plans can be established to keep an individual in good financial credit standing.  The insurance information originally provided was incomplete/incorrect.  As a courtesy to the patient, on behalf of Tri-county Emergency Physicians, I have contacted [redacted] (collection agency) today 6.14.2017 to ensure that under circumstance this patient WILL NOT be responsible for the outstanding balance being claimed on [redacted] credit bureau and to be pulled effective immediately (this process, although immediate, takes 48-72 hours minimum).  I apologize for any confusion this may have caused the patient and hope that our intervention will allow the situation to be put to a close.  Moving forward, it is highly encouraged that if there is a statement and/or phone call regarding a bill that it is not ignored.  Many billing issues are simple updates/adjustments as to avoid any negative recourse for the patient.  We pride ourselves in making every attempt possible to reach out to patients within reasonable time frame when there is a denial (Insurance-EOB) to avoid collection agency involvement but this does require patient assistance.

To Whom It May Concern Revdex.com/[redacted]:Immediately after reviewing the complaint I looked into Ms. [redacted]'s account.  It appears there may be some confusion on the Date of Service in question at the outstanding bill is for a different DOS in January, 2017.  I have reached out to our...

billing company to ensure that the phone calls stop to the patient as the account is being placed under "investigation".  I also have verified the insurance carrier for the time of visit for outstanding DOS and the claim will be sent accordingly.  The patient can be assured that this issue, though different DOS has been resolved and she can follow up with her insurance company.  If any further questions arise, the patient can follow up with me directly at [redacted].  Tri-County Emergency Physicians, LLC utilizes a third party billing company but take all concerns/complaints very seriously and work diligently to find immediate resolve.

I apologize for your aggravation. Medical Billing is very complicated and prone to errors due to delay in different information systems talking with each other.
Like most medical practices, all of Tri-County Emergency Physicians billing is out sourced to a third party vendor ([redacted] located in Indiana).
Our operations manager will reach out this morning to assist you.
Rest assured, we will do all in our power to help with your situation.
