I had a very frustrating experience with this office regarding billing and claim submissions. After being advised to schedule a colonoscopy by my primary doctor, I selected this office based on my insurance coverage and pre-registered as required. However, I soon ran into issues with claims not being submitted to my insurance company. Despite multiple visits, I ended up paying out-of-pocket due to my high-deductible plan, only to later discover that claims were not being properly filed. I contacted the office several times and even had a third party (ClaimDoc) reach out to assist, but the claims were still not submitted correctly, even after months of back-and-forth with the billing department. To make matters worse, I was recently informed that they do not process the claims in-house and instead outsource them to a third party, leaving me with no accountability from the office itself. This lack of transparency and responsibility has been incredibly disappointing. Typically, claims appear on my insurance portal within days of an office visit, but this was not the case here. If I had known I would face such billing issues, I would have chosen a different provider. I hope the office can improve its billing processes, as this experience has been a significant inconvenience. **Update as of May 14, 2025 - Long story short. Colonoscopy was done November 8, 2024. Deposit check was received on April 30th, 2025.
