Good luck getting reimbursed
While the idea of an urgent care is good, and the actual doctors at their Grand Island, NY facility are competent and respectful, I have nothing else good to say about my experiences here. I have been here three times and feel sick at the idea of having to return if something urgent comes up.
The woman at the front desk speaks like an AI, and is unyielding in her rote and unhelpful answers to questions like "Why is the wrong insurance company appearing after you scan my card? Can we fix this?" Her persistent and dismissive "you'll have to call billing" answer to everything was infuriating. But even more infuriating was her one different response that I must pay an outrageous amount (almost $400) just to be seen, because *surprise* insurance didn't cover my last visit when the WRONG INSURANCE COMPANY was billed.
Shocker, the wrong insurance company didn't pay, so I had to cover the huge amount, with the assurance I'd get reimbursed when the claim finally went through.
Is anyone surprised that WellNow did not reimburse me?
Trying to get anything sorted out through this company is a joke. I did talk to billing, first to get my correct insurance info nailed down and claims reprocessed, and then again six weeks later to find out where my reimbursement is.
IT IS WELLNOW'S POLICY NOT TO REIMBURSE AFTER INSURANCE PAYS THEM. Apparently "it's a convenience for you to use this as a credit on your next visit". What? The client must make a formal phone request for reimbursement, then sometime (when? not yet) they will contact you to tell you if they will approve your reimbursement and arrange transmittal.
Super sketchy, not respectful to the patient at all. And before some bot tells me to contact wecare at wellnow dot com, I already have. That also accomplishes nothing, so nice try.
