This company is guilty of insurance fraud. DOESNT actually monitor the heart monitors it gets paid by insurance to do. I was admitted to the hospital for a stroke. I walked in - as the stroke was nearly a week prior. I was in the hospital for approximately 1 week while they ran tests. When i returned home there was a box in the mail. it was a heart monitor. I got it out and put it on from memory of having worn one a couple years prior. I contacted my doctor the next day to ask if i was supposed to be wearing a heart monitor as this was never discussed in my post care instructions. He said he had not ordered it and was not aware of it. There was a team of doctors who saw me but i was instructed to deliver all questions through one doctor to limit confusion. since he said there was no instructions to wear it, I took it off and it sat on my bathroom counter until i finally mailed it back. The most i could have worn it was 2 or 3 days while waiting for the doctor to respond. I returned it. Lifewatch billed my insurance company $2400 for the monitoring and me an addditiona. $300.17. I immediately contacted them and expressed my concern that if they were actually monitoring this and could not tell that i did not have a heart beat then this was indeed fraud. I didnt wear the monitor. perhaps it was ordered in error. whateer the case is - i did not wear it and they did not monitor me and if they were monitoring me - why would they not have been alarmed by my lack of heart rate. Multiple times I called in to dispute this and each time I was told that it was 1. being taken care of 2. a supervisor was reviewing or 3. it wad under review. They have been doing this since 2/28/2019.now it has gone to a collection agency. I believe that this is insurance fraud, billing fraud, consumer fraud and an attempt to take advantage of confusion surrounding people who suffer from strokes. If they did this to me - I can assure you that they did this to many other clients.
