Beware of Premier Medical
We were with Premier Medical for almost 5 years when we first came to The Villages. The doctors are GREAT!!! HOWEVER, the administrating and billing departments are a nightmare. Every year I had to print out all the EOB statements from the insurance company, try to cross reference it with the billing codes and statements generated by Premier Medical, and spend a large amount of hours trying to prove to Premier Medical that our bills have been satisfied.
Finally, we left Premier Medical. Afterwards my wife had an incident and we had to call 911, get the ambulance, go to the hospital, etc... My wife is fine now, Thank You, BUT Premier Medical's doctor stopped in AFTER my wife was released, on her way out the door to the car to go home, and Premier Medical was saying, "WE CAN SCHEDULE A FOLLOW UP"... my wife said "No thank you, we'll take care of it ourselves".
Guess What, Premier Medical submitted a bill to the insurance company, of course that incident put us in the donut hole, and when I called Premier Medical's billing department stating that they submitted a charge that was not called for, the billing department stated that the doctor did offer a follow up visit. So is that worth a $230 charge????
Premier Medical, you can trust the doctors... they are great, but administration doesn't care what they do, just keep the cash flow coming.
