Warning - Urgent Care 441 Overcharging
Be careful of extra charges when using Urgent Care 441.
I have had to go to a doctor 3 separate times while in The Villages. Rather than go to the Emergency Room I went to Urgent Care 441 in Summerfield (across from Walmart). For each visit, I had lab work done and received treatment. About 3 days later, I called to get a copy of the lab reports to take to regular doctors back home. The receptionist said I had to come to the office to get a copy of the report. At the office I was told I could only get the report from the doctor. They sent me to one of the rooms in the back and the doctor came in and handed me a copy of the report and I left. That happened after each of my three visits. I just received a bill for all the visits and I was charged $130 for each visit to get a copy of the lab report from the previous visit. I have never been charged by any other doctor for a lab report and they claim they are completely within their rights to charge consultation charges for delivering the reports. I have disputed the charges with my insurance company and waiting for their assessment. I will never go to Urgent Care 441 and I advise anyone needing care of that type to go elsewhere. It's no wonder health care costs are so expensive when doctors like these try to take advantage of patients and insurance companies. |
