  I contacted an electronic patient filing programmer to purchase and train my employees with a faster tracking system for my business. I signed a contract and proceeded with training. During the training online, the only method they offered, my employees complained of not understanding the instructions. I asked for an instructor to come and teach in person and Spanish so my employees could learn. Veradigm would not provide this option. So, I sent them a letter declining this service since they could not and would not train my staff on how to use their program. I never paid them since we could not use the program. They received my email in January 2024 and acknowledged my cancellation. Now they have another company sending me collection emails to be paid for a service I never received or could use. I am tired of being harassed by them when they were not able to fulfill our contract in training my staff. Veradigm failed to fulfill their contract by not providing training for me and my staff. They would only provide training online which my staff could NOT comprehend.

  August 2023 I run a family practice and interviewed several billing companies to determine which would be a good fit there several options for various medical offices and needs.We set up an interview along with 2 other billing companies. Allscripts was scheduled for a training via Zoom. Within 10 minutes of the meeting, we knew this was not an ethical group. No one we had spoken to prior was at the meeting. Instead these were Foreigners and none of the team were American. It felt like a scam. Just within a few minutes after looking thru their program, it had copious errors. We ended the session. I told the group that we were not comfortable and felt the services were not what we had been shown previously. I made myself very clear. We are NOT interested in your product. It never went off the ground. The meeting lasted at the most 10 minutes.We hired another billing company that week and have been using their services ever since.Nonetheless, Allscripts continues to send us invoices. We do not use them, have never used them. I have kept several of the invoices with my comments asking what are we being billed for? They refuse to answer. We have had no training with them, they do not have any access to our patient info or insurance info. They do not have any access to my personal license numbers, tax id, no insurance payer portal access. NOTHING. Yet they insist we owe them thousands of dollars yet cannot support the charges with any proof we are using them.I have emailed dozens of times requesting someone explain why were are getting billed.I have called only to get a thick Indian accented person who tells me they will take care of it, but never do. I have left messages on various voicemails routed to the "appropriate person" who also has a thick Indian accent and there is no return of calls, just an insistence that we pay our bill. But what am I being billed for? No answer. This is a scam to get money. These people are very evil!

  Allscripts (now Veradigm) continued billing for ***************** Services after ***** was retired 6/30/22. I received a bill for more than $5000.00 for services I was not using after July of 2022. This was paid in monthly amounts by March of 2024. I also sent my termination letter to Allscripts on 7/7/23 requesting immediate termination of unusable service. They told me I needed to cancel services within ********************************************************* August (so far they have not sent me the contract to review) and instead gave me a termination date of 8/31/24 and did not send another bill by email or any other method. They continued the secret billing monthly and I received a letter from collection company stating I owe more than $5000.00 again in June of this year. This billing for unusable services is unethical and the company representatives refuse to phone me to discuss this matter. Any ethical company would allow cancellation of a service that I CAN NOT USE!

  Im the office manager of Family Gastroenterology. We started using Allscripts in September and in October it became Veradigm. We haven't been able to bill out a claim since March. I have invoices that show them pulling out the money for the bill from us every month actually showing a credit. When I call they tell me we don't have an account to link any support ticket to and hang up on me. This happened a few weeks ago and I was able to get someone in billing to prove the payments so the reactivated our account for 2 days and now we are back at the start where I don't have an account but they pulled the money out for the June invoice. We have had no payments from insurance companies in over 2 months and they will not even talk ti us. Very upset.

  I have tried to pay my bill using the website paymydoctor.com for over a month, but the website is not available. I have tried to work around this--tried signing up using associated websites, but I am always rerouted back to paymydoctor.com. I have tried to contact this company on numerous occasions, but I always get a recording telling me to call back during regular hours--even when I call during regular hours. I am afraid this company is going to s**** up my credit rating because they have made it impossible for me to make my payment.

  Re account ********: We signed a contract with A4 ****** Systems in 2004 to licensing an electronic health record and accounting system. This firm was acquired by Allscripts, LLC, then Veradigm, LLC. In January of 2023, following contractual obligations, we canceled our contract. I still had to submit a support case, call and leave massages, and finally, on February 7, 2023, an analyst from the accounting department sent me an email stating they would use a schedule of contract end dates to slowly wind down invoicing our company from February 2023 to November 2025. Since that time, the company continues to bill us for services that have expired and threaten to cut off our services. On January 31, 2024, Veradigm sent another demand letter stating we owe them $2,565.44. Throughout the year, Veradigm has sent us invoices that should have been cancelled, and each time, I have to submit a support case per their process. Each time they show we are an active client. I spend hours on hold, emailing and discussing with support and analysts that we have cancelled the contracts and should owe very little. Each time, the company refuses to acknowledge the contracts are terminated, and they require me to prove the contracts have been canceled, which I cannot do, because they have never acknowledged the contracts are cancelled. We have tried to speak with managers and escalate cases to get out from under these debts, but without proof of cancellation, the firm will not escalate. I have to start over with their process each time. They have never acknowledged the contracts are cancelled. My company is small company, and I cannot afford to spend so much time chasing this this large and unaccountable firm. We are asking that Varadigm acknowledge cancellation of our contract, review payments made to ensure we have not overpaid because of their inability to cease billing us, and put into place the appropriate mechanisms to cease billing us for services that are cancelled.

  March 2020 we had to purchase a new HP Laser Printer because the computer program provided by Veradigm formerly Allscripts did not support the previous Okidata Dot Matrix printer. Since then we have been billed for support on our maintenance agreement. I have tried to get them to remove the maintenance on the old printer and they keep billing me. My requests in writing and phone calls have lead to years of going back and forth with different people and cases filed within the company.Each new person or department that my request goes to is never addressed accordingly and they do not even read the case notes. They are still billing me $84.81 for case-********.

  Our office went from an onsite server for our EHR to a cloud hosted server. New contracts signed, with terms for the amounts. We were told upon server disconnection and the migration to the cloud hosted environment our contract was THE contract in place. We are getting bills for items related to the old server (some duplicate charges that cross over having a cloud based environment - example - 2 charges for a provider license) and they refuse to cancel. I was given a 2008 "master agreement" signed by a PRIOR owner stating that they follow the master agreement and prices are valid. I have nothing signed by the current owner they have provided me. This is BEYOND deceitful on behalf of allscripts. What was the contract we signed then? I opened this case in May of 2022 and they took over 8 weeks to even respond to my original inquiry. It is now March 2023 and we are still going back and forth with them. I have had the ** office pay CURRENT bills only on our new contract to keep bills up to date for the CURRENT signed contract.This is a second case opened due to "accepting the case" that they would look into this and apparently this was not what I should have done. Nothing has been done and no contact has been made from Allscripts/Veradigm my original complaint in December 2022.

  Per Sr. Client accounting specialist,

  "Good Morning ********,
  
  I received another update from the internal team to reached out to you regarding your account and past due balance.
  
  I have already provided you with the details multiple times regarding the contracts and CPI charges. I have again attached it to this email for your reference.
  
  We had received the name change request back in 2009.  Hence, the name was changed from ********************************** to ******************** Bedford.
  So, there will be no new Master Agreement under the new name. The original master agreement would remain in effect. And it clearly states that ******************** ******* will pays all the bills. (refer Below snapshot)
  
  **************, your sales rep has already confirmed that you would require all the items on your maintenance schedule report including the old contract  which was signed back in 2007, except the 4 line-items that you already requested for the termination, and they are already scheduled to terminate at the contractual end dates.
  
  CPI charges will apply to the invoices every year as per the master agreement on the account and those are valid.
  
  
  So, the invoices get billed as per the contracts and those are valid and needs to be paid. Please let me know if you still have any other questions regarding the invoices.
  
  
  Thank you!"

  I am rejecting this response because: This is a copy and paste response to a email they have already sent me. I have requested something signed by the owner, ********************* of this change, Allscripts has yet to provide me this since the request on 4/5/2023.  This paperwork was done by ********************************** - which is still an existing business.  This was NOT a "name change".  The business was SOLD.  The owner is no one related / or was related to Bedford Amulatory Surgical Center.   A one page document of a "name change" was shown to ** signed by former employee(s) of Bedford Amulatory Surgical Center.  *********************, the owner of ******************** - is requesting documents signed by him, when this was done?  He legally unchanged ********************, BASC still is in practice.  We are being held to duplicate contracts that SHOULD have been cancelled when new were signed.  Held to a "master agreement" under another business.  When I requested documents under the owners name when the business was purchased (which I believe would be by law) - we were served a notice of suspension of serveries for non-payment.  Please note ALL of our bills for our CURRENT contract are paid up to date - the only past due are the items were are disputing and they are now threatening to suspend our services.

  I am rejecting this response because: I am in connection with ********* via email since 4/5/2023.  We have requested a copy of this master agreement signed on by **********************  We have not received anything to date.  I was told I was going to get follow up last week on this.   All paperwork (including the single page,1 page document named "name change request") was signed off by ********************************** Employee(s), but nothing by the purchasing owner, **********************  ********************************** is still a practicing facility to this day.  This was not a "name change".  ******************** was purchased from BASC, after this "name change" document was signed even.  Conveniently,after our 4/5/2023 correspondence we received a letter of suspension of services for "non payment" on our old contracts and differences in the contract prices for our new contract on cloud hosted prices.  ****** has indicated to me that the person on the document of the name change request wasn't even a BASC employee, but by **************************, which is a Human Resource /Payroll Company.  We are up to date on all payments based on our contract and the company is threatening suspension for the differences in amounts as they are holding ** to a master agreement under a prior practice. 

  We also requested the name of who our office attorney can contact for forwarding correspondence to within the legal team as this is not moving anywhere (approaching 1 year) and we requested to connect with our "account representative", *****, and she has not replied to this email on 4/5/2023 either.

  I am rejecting this response because: Our concern is not about the current invoices - it's about the prior invoices see the detailed messages as noted in the initial case when I started this - when we signed NEW contracts to go to cloud hosted environment we were told this was our new contract - we are still being billed on our old contract AND OUR NEW CONTRACT.  Example: Mid level provider license - we are getting invoices for 2.

  I am a medical provider and had hired allscripts over 10 years ago for my Electronic Health Records needs. I singed a 5 year contract. AFter using their services for 5 years, I decided to transfer to another vendor. Allscripts would not give me my medical records for my patients, which I was entitiled to, and did not allow me access to my records on line. All of my passwords to access the information were locked, and we were unable to get resolution of the problem by calling their help line. All of their customer service workers only took "ticket numbers", put people on hold and never resolved the problem.Not only that, but I continued to get bills for the old service, whose contract was done and whose system I could not access. Allscripts clearly can access a log in their system and see that the system was NEVER used or access after it was requested to be terminated in January of 2016. They kept sending me bills, and because thier call center could only enter ticket numbers and never got back to us, I sent letters to them annually teling them I was no longer responsible for the account number ******** for ************ Foot and Ankle and to contact me to discuss termination of the service, as I was unable to use it. they never did. In addition, they are now sending me a notice from an agency "***********************" to collect a past due balance of $16,759 for past due charges over the last 6 years. Its absolutely ridiculous, as I cannot get in touch with them, they do not respond to requests about the status of the account, and they just keep sending bills. I had ZERO access to their service for the last 6 years, and no access to my pateint records, which is illegal. They are a huge company and I am a small independent provider. I should not be responsible to pay for a contract that was terminated in 2015. I want my balance set to zero and the account closed. Good luck. The phone no i have is ************
