3 /5 Eric Plummer: Honestly due to my medical condition I had to pay $105 for transportation to the appointment with my daughter, she missed half a day of school, and the only thing it was for was a referral that we never finished receiving.
The doctor was told the reason for the appointment as well beforehand and she immediately started the appointment with "I dont work with that, let me give you a referral."
When we left we were unable to get the referral sent because "the system was down."
We were then told we would receive a call for the referral, but it has been days now with no word, and just like the sleep study I was supposed to receive I assume that it will also never happen unless I call in multiple times to get it done.
My insurance was charged, and I have a copay for an appointment that could have been online, over the phone, or even a email. In the end I have no referral for my daughter though, and I am going to have to call into a call center where there will be further delays because of the web of bureaucracy involved with this sort of thing now.
Doctor Lal is a good doctor, and the fault doesnt really lie with the receptionist either, but BS&W is getting worse as the years go on.
