Just got a bill two weeks later after a routine pap smear. Did not ask to be tested for STD's. Doctors office obviously ran a PCR and now I have a bill for $2195.66. Bill says that they don't recognise me as covered by ins?? I am, but what kind of tests are these? Why were they run without my permission? What is going on here?


Gonna be hard to grow when you are pissing off so many people. gen-pap is one of the biggest wastes of money in healthcare.
 






Since when is it the patients responsibility to request what tests they want. Patients don't even know what tests mean. Isn't that why they visit and have confidence in a doctor. Quit crying. Don't go to a doctor if you know what is wrong with yourself.
 






Sounds like Bio-Reference is well positioned to take advantage of patient stupidity. Order more tests! Rape them with outrageous bills. The point is that gen-pap is a waste of money.
 






Earnings release tomorrow morning

With the anticipated release of earnings tomorrow morning to wall street, it looks as if the numbers have been leaked already based on the past two days sharp move upwards. Can anyone say inside information leak of earnings?
 






























We just got a bill from a collection agency for work Aureon labs did for $3200. My husband had a prostate biopsy by Chesapeake Urology, we went to Johns Hopkins who asked us to have the slides sent. Why would they send it off without our knowledge to a lab that is out of network for BluE Cross/Blue shield. I called Aureon last year that said they would submit it again. NO bill after the initial bill and now a collections notice. On the breakdown of the bill, 1751 was for 'data capture analysis'. I'm not sure what we are going to do.

Aureon, does not exist anymore!! they have been gone for over a year..so this question makes no sense. Also why are you on this Board??

Did Aureon file bankruptcy? Who is Aureon's bankruptcy receiver if so? I bet the receiver has hired a bunch of collection agencies to try to get some dough.

Old customers of Hollywood Video are going through the same thing.

I would dispute the charges. They are hoping you wont and just want you to pay.
 






It's the same collection agency as Hollywood Video too - Universal Fidelity LP out of Houston. Apparently Aureon Labs had a policy to not balance bill patients, or send them to collections - but now ALL their accounts are getting collection notices.

Many people who never requested the prostate px test and were not aware that it was being done, are being hounded by Universal Fidelity LP for amts varying from 1449-4000. In most cases, no written permission was given by the individuals for a test that was not ADA coded nor provided by an out of network laboratory. Now that Aureon is out of business, someone has bought the records and has Universal Fidelity trying to collect. In most cases, the doctors who did the request were assured that if the insurance company did not cover the cost, it would be waived. Guess again.
