I was disabled and on Medicaid at the time I had my Imaging Services done through them. They were eager to schedule my appointment and perform the imaging ordered by my doctor. I TOLD THEM REPEATEDLY THAT I HAVE MEDICAID AND ASKED THEM TO PLEASE GIVE ME ASSURANCE THAT THE IMAGING WOULD BE COVERED, PRIOR TO RENDERING THE SERVICE. THEY ASSURED ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE! ALMOST A YEAR LATER, I RECEIVE A BILL FROM A COLLECTIONS AGENCY IN CALIFORNIA FOR $200. TOTALLY UNSCRUPULOUS ENTITY PREYING ON DISABLED INDIVIDUALS. I CHECKED WITH MY MEDICAID INSURANCE AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS ILLEGAL FOR A MEDICAL PROVIDER TO SEND THE DISPUTED CLAIMS OF MEDICAID PATIENTS TO COLLECTIONS!
