      I received a letter from Lexington Medical Center Affiliated Physician Practices stating I owe $4,094.48 for a bill. Upon speaking with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of South Carolina I discovered Lexington Medical Center failed to bill Medicare for several hospital visits. I contacted Lexington Medical Center & Affiliated Physician Practices at XXX-XXX-XXXX they admitted they failed to bill Medicare but said it's too late and I have to pay the bill for their negligence. They claim they sent me other bills but I never received them. The letter dated June 8, 2022 is the first notification I received. I am asking that they bill Medicare or waive the bills. I notice this amount on my credit report but wasn't clear who place it there. I'm asking remove from credit report also. Thanks.

      I had a lab test done on 10/29/2020 in which I was told my insurance covered the bill. approximately 6 months later in April of 2021 I received the full bill for about $1400. After multiple calls to the billing department it was finally discovered that it was a mistake and my insurance covered a large portion leaving me with a balance of $67. After paying that balance the account was closed and the remaining balance was zeroed out as if payed. 18 months later I received a bill for the exact amount of the remaining bill $1407 with the same charges from 2020. I have spoken with multiple reps and was told numerous things about how its my insurances fault and they rescinded the money they sent. I verified with my insurance and was told no changes were made on their end all the while Lexington's biller called back to state my claims where denied due to preexisting conditions. Which again my insurance states they have no records of. I have spoken with manager Savannah multiple times and each time she only wants to send up to escalations with no possible resolution even after having her speak with my insurance to verify there was no problem on their end. I believe this was an accounting mistake that no one wants to take the time to reconcile or figure out and I am beyond frustrated with not only the amount of time I have spent just trying to get a person to look deeper into this billing issue and find a solution but also the level of customer service I have received . I am told different stories every time I call about why I was billed 1 1/2 years later even to the fact that my insurance never sent the money but another personnel verified they did but took the money back. It is not my responsibility to find out what Lexington medical did with the money my insurance sent or what the issue actually is as the account was closed out completely over a year ago. I have been waiting on a response for approximately a week now from the biller.

      My husband and I have tried calling several times to get an appt with the head of billing or the CEO, regarding past medical bills. I have just paid well over $1600 to pay for past medical bills and received a notice saying I had a zero balance, and yet we keep getting these bills here and there from 2018 etc!!! I am sick and tired of these little bills popping up from 4 years ago, when I was sent a letter stating I had a zero balance!!! LMCs billing system is horrible and then you can never talk with anyone higher up that can really investigate it to take care of the issue!!!!

      I recently received a notification stating that part of my tax refund was being withheld. I have no knowledge of any past due medical bill with Lexington Medical. I think the last time I was even there was in 2014, and I know that billed was paid. I believe this must be some kind of error.

      Fraudulent Bill of $422.70 demanded of me for 28 Oct 2021 medical procedure. I am a TRICARE Prime patient with a prior medical authorization which means I should not owe anything for this procedure. However, bill has been sent to bill collection despite my numerous attempts to correct their error. I have received no responses from their management. They just want to bully me into paying a fraudulent bill I do not owe. They are gaming the medical coding system to extract money from both the insurance company and me. This is fraud. Name: Waynette Griffin Account: 205381391 My insurance sent an Authorization for a medical procedure to Lexington Medical Center and the procedure was completed on 28 Oct 2021. I asked Lexington Medical numerous times to make sure they received the correct authorization. I was assured they had everything they needed. For that authorization, my insurance company expects medical code 93306. Lexington Medical coded it incorrectly as C8929. Lexington Medical refuses to change it. What this means is that they are willfully gaming the coding system to convert a prior medical authorization into a point of service claim for their own financial benefit. My insurance already paid them $229.74 and they also are attempting to bully me into paying a bill I do not owe. This is fraud. I used Lexington Medical online tools to lodge a complaint and I sent a letter to their CEO. I have not received any responses other than a bill collection notice.

First of all, I want to extend my immense gratitude for your BBB office's handling of this case. After months of hitting one brick wall after another, it is your efforts that appear to have made the difference. The LMC resource center representative responded positively and professionally to the complaint. She actually listened and understood the nature of our complaint. She investigated and resolved the internal coding error that was causing the billing problem. She is know resubmitting the claim with the correct medical codes that my insurance expects for the authorization LMC received. She has pulled the billing collection action back. It may take several weeks to financially settle the billing resubmission to my insurance company. However, at this point, I feel like the matter will be resolved satisfactorily. I only wish I had come to your BBB office months ago to get this resolved. You cut through so much red tape in record time!! Thank you so much!!!

      1-12-2022 I received a letter from Lexington Medical Center stating that I was approved 100% for Financial assistance. Charity Effective Dates: 9/17/2014-12/31/2021 this left my bill with a zero balance. 3-3-2022 I received a letter from the IRS stating that my tax refund was taken by Lexington Medical Center and that I still owed them 3,033.67. I would like to receive my income tax, which they took in the amount of 1,061.00 I did speak with someone from Lexington Medical Center, and they admitted the error. They also told me that I would not be reimbursed, and there is nothing anyone could do about it. She also ensured me that next year they should not take my income taxes.

      Lexington Medical collected on a debt that was over 15 years old, off of my credit, no bills sent, by law that medical bills be waived off of credit. Last known visit to Lexington was in 2007. When number was called on letter it, was a collection agency, no details of a bill, DOS, procedures, or anything has been notified. Taxes have been taken and think it has been done by fraudulent means. Have been disabled since 2011, with Medicare part A, B, and D, and Medicaid.

Sincerely, Patient Financial Resource Center Advocate Lexington Medical Center Consumer Response /* (3000, 10, 2022/03/25) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) What they are saying in response, was false, I called on Tuesday, Match 23, 2022, First the number on the letter which was a collection Agency. I asked for the details of the debt and they said it was one DOS, and that I would receive an itemized bill after I paid. I told her I haven't seen them since 2007 and said I would not be paying it due to no validation of debt. Was called by Lexington and rep said it was a DOS, but did not validate thr service only they has put my SSN in it came up. I told her that I haven't seen them since 2007, not only that but I had been disabled, unemployed, and under disability in 2012. I told her that if the debt was valid not only was is over 10 years old but also the credit restoration/legal aid company I had also corresponded with the same day said nothing was on my credit to dispute and that they to have someone further look into it. I told the rep then that the same ppl had sent letters to all creditors to have debt waiver, forgiven, and/or taken of my credit. I informed her that I would not being paying the brought up debt due to all those factors. She then kept pushing at a payment plan, which I sternly told her no and she kept pushing. To which in let her know in a steadfast manner I would not being paying, would let someone else deal with it, BBB and whoever could look into it, and I was done talking, to which she laughed after trying to talk over me. I told her that she would be reported and the call ended. Her supervisor called and talked and said it was just one DOS, not several as stated in the response, no validation of what was done, no time or procedure again I let her know that the above information and I was done from that point not paying the brought up debt and wanted my taxes and would someone else handle it going forward and to not call again. The debt must be validated, with DOS, Time of service, Admitting Dx Codes, Admitting procedure codes, Reffering doctor, Admitting relating procedure codes, Admitting and Discharge date. When were bills sent, and to what address, when was the last correspondence, because I haven't heard from them since the 2007. Plus they have had to either collected from hospitals insurance or had to write it off as contractual adjustments. So they must validate all that with proof. And I still want my refund returned to me.

      I've had payment arrangements with Lexington Medical Center for a few years through ********** *********, LLC. My file number is *******, and my starting balance was $5,084.41 and as of the last statement dated 01/31/22, the balance was $795.93. I have automatic draft setup in the amount of $60 that was getting drafted on or after the 7th of each month from my checking account with Allsouth bank. On February 8th, my payment of $60 was drafted from my account, and on that same day I received a letter from the Department of Revenue stating that Lexington Medical took part of my tax refund, although I've had a payment plan setup with them for years. They took $1000.93 from my tax return, which is $180 more than what I owed them as of the January statement plus an administrative fee of $25. I called ********** ********* on February 10th and spoke with Tiffany at extension ****. She told me she did not see where my balance was paid off and to call back in four weeks because that is how long it takes. I asked her why was part of my tax return taken when I had a payment plan setup and she said to contact the Department of Revenue. I told her the letter from the Department of Revenue said to contact them, and she said mistakes can happen and to call back in 7 weeks. I said I thought you said four weeks and she say yes four weeks. I asked her if my $60 draft from my account could be refunded since they took my taxes to pay it off and she said no. I asked her if there was anyone else there I could talk to and she said no, I would have to call back in four weeks. My taxes should have never been taken, let alone them taking too much and still auto drafting my regular payment from my checking account.

      On October 1, 2021, I went to the Urgent Care operated by Lexington Medical Center on 811 W Main St., Lexington, SC 29072 after having increased pain and swelling to my wrist wrist following a fall at work on the previous day. When I arrived, I provided my CA-16 Authorization for Examination and /or Treatment furnished by my employer. The receptionist told me to give it to the doctor treating me. I was seen by Nurse Practitioner Amber T****** and I explained that I fell on my right side of my body, with most of the force taken by my outstretched hand against the ground. I told her that this happened at work after tripping while walking. Radiographs were taken and she diagnosed a closed fracture of the distal radius and referred me to Lexington Orthopeadics for follow up care. She told me to leave my form at the front desk on my way out. I stopped at the desk and gave the check out person my form and she explained that they have their own forms that they use for Worker's compensation claims and spoke with my supervisor who authorized treatment. Since it was Friday and she said that she would have the form completed by the NP and would submit it when I called back with the claim number. I called back on Tuesday 10/05 and gave Registration my claim number and the woman said that she would leave a note for someone to call me back. Later that week, or the next, someone called me and stated that they could not bill it as a worker's compensation claim since they had already charged by insurance carrier that is on file in my Lexington Medical Center account. I told them that I needed them to submit the paperwork to cover my injury and subsequent bills and leave from work. The woman said she would look into it and get it submitted. In December 2021, I stopped by the Urgent care because the US Department of Labor did not have the paperwork which shows that I was seen and diagnosed with a fracture that is consistent with the type of fall I experienced.

      Answered
      I set up to pay $70 a month on a bill and they stopped drafting it out of my account. Then they send a notice that I just got in the mail yesterday that I need to pay or they will turn me over to collections. Today, I got a letter that they turned me over to collections. This has happened once before. They are lucky I have not sued them for malpractice on two different occasions. That is one regret I have. I may still pursue it. I have spoken with a lawyer and shared my circumstances. The lawyer confirmed, that I did in fact experience medical malpractice on two different occasions, where one almost resulted in death.
