This business' billing department is…
This business' billing department is either fraud or extremely incompetent. No idea why my doctor's office switched to labcorp, but I am getting fed up and thinking of hiring a lawyer at this point.
This is the third time I get an invoice for full payment of a lab test, although I have premium PPO insurance, and although it was paid in full by my insurance.
Called labcorp billing department, first they couldn't find the invoice number, this arrogant woman asked me to repeat the number for 4 times, then spell my name, repeat birthdate, phone number, address, put me on hold, then told me she found the invoice and it was paid by my insurance but then they reversed the charge and took the money back.
?!?
Called back my insurance, they told me there was no such thing, the claim was finalized, invoice paid, and they would never reverse a charge, that was ridiculous.
Insurance lady opens a case to investigate why labcorp is claiming they took the money back, as that was unacceptable. She tells me to call labcorp and ask them to contact my insurance to discuss the invoice payment, and provide evidence it was not paid.
Called labcorp back again, on hold again, cornelia answered and sounded like I bothered her while she was enjoying a pizza and some vodka in front of the TV. Got through the same info spelling, repeating, address, phone number, name, date of birth, she sounded totally preoccupied with something else, could not find the invoice number, put me on hold, then she tells me there is a balance and I have to pay it.
I am there explaining again that the insurance paid it already, she tells me it was not paid and I need to give them the date of payment and proof. I tell her that is not my business, they need to call my insurance and discuss this. She tells me she is not going to call my insurance and hung up.
I called them back, was extremely upset at this point, britany answers, same arrogant voice and attitude ( no idea who these women think they are), and here we go again, name, address, spelling, invoice number not found, minutes on hold, found the invoice, tells me it was not paid by insurance.
I am aggravated and told her that I did not appreciate them hanging up on me, the rude tone, and not even try to fix the problem, she talks over me, I am infuriated as I had spent the entire morning doing this, and she hangs up on me again.
How to these people get hired, and why are they kept on jobs with this attitude? They treat people like trash, while getting paid thanks to those people.
A year ago I got two invoices from labcorp of a few hundreds of dollars, that again my insurance paid in full. Had to call them a few times, and they told me I was a new patient and they didn't know I had insurance. ?!? I was not a new patient, and it clearly says I have insurance, but another labcorp employee back then didn't bother checking, they just sent me the bill.
Few months after I received another bill for a couple hundreds, same aggravation, few phone calls, nonsense talking, impertinent attitude, finally they admitted it was a mistake. A week later I received this final notification for the same invoice, threatening that they would take further action if I do not pay the bill, and labcorp is going to deny service to me if invoice is not paid.
Had to call them again, on hold, asked what was going on as I thought the issue was solved, another employee with this arrogant tone tells me, yes mam, ignore the invoice, have a good day, and hung up.
No apologies, no explanation, just a continuous mess and mockery of the paying customers.
Hire people with an ounce of intelligence and some basic common sense, who are capable to communicate in a civilized way. This level of rudeness and incompetence is unacceptable, they sound embarrassingly ignorant and uneducated, instead of polite and professional.
I imagine they work from home and we bother them, hence the snapping back and lack of civility, but why does labcorp pays them for being totally incapable to do their job? Is there any managing of this department? Anybody hold them accountable for these mistakes and the rude attitude?
Nobody needs the aggravation, stress and frustration from labcorp, and definitely we do not need to spend hours from work and our personal time to fight with your incompetent billing employees.
Not to mention that charging somebody for an invoice that was already paid IS FRAUD!
