We do not feel we should have to pay the 2016 visits bills. Had we received the September 2015 visit bill in an appropriate timely manner, we would have never returned to the same doctor. We returned to the same doctor because after a year of receiving no bill, we were under the assumption that all was covered and we did not have to pay anything. We then received a bill after already being seen a year later 2 more times. The original bill in 2015 should have been sent out long before we had been back to the office.

Mrs, [redacted] claims there was a significant delay in receiving the bill for the September 2015 visit She statesthat if they would have received the bill more promptly and been aware of the cost associated with the visit,, they would have discontinued services with UPMC and found a different provider prior to the follow up visitFirst, allow me to apologize for any frustration that Mr. and Mrs. [redacted] experienced. An investigation of Mr. [redacted]'s accounts was performed and it was determined that there was indeed a delay In the processing of the bill related to the September 28,2015 visit, Because of the delay and as a one-time patient courtesy, UPMC will waive the outstanding balance of $100,83 for the September 28, 2015 date of service.The account associated with the return visit on September 28,2016 (which included a hospital-based clinic visit and labs) was reviewed and deemed accurate. There is currently an outstanding balance of $189,56 associated with this account. We have pulled this account from collections In order to allow time for Mr, [redacted] to satisfy the outstanding balance.
