      I underwent a BV (bacterial vaginosis) test on 7/30/24 at my doctors office and was subsequently billed $954.45 by LabCorp (Invoice #: ********). After speaking with a LabCorp representative, I was informed that my doctor submitted LabCorp test code ******, which is intended for detecting BV.However, I received a bill for six different services (Aetna Medical claim ID: **********, including CPT code ***** (billed twice) and CPT code *****, which are all related to the same proceduredetecting infectious agents. This is unacceptable. My insurance paid $771.64 for this already. I got billed the remaining $182.81. I refuse to be billed almost $1,000 for a test that costs $75 on average out of pocket. This type of billing discrepancy is concerning, particularly given LabCorps public reputation for engaging in fraudulent billing practices.I tried multiple times to get a solution through numerous phone calls and emails, both with my doctor's office and the LabCorp team. My doctor's office was a pleasure to deal with but the LabCorp team was extremely rude and condescending over the phone, specifically a man called **** who was their "lawyer"/billing guy. The ******* team sent me a collection notice saying it will potentially affect my credit score if I don't pay. I reached back out to the doctor's office to get an update on their side and emailed the LabCorp team to give me a 30 days hold to figure out a solution.

      I had a lab test done through Labcorp on 1/5/2024. I didn ot know I was going to get a bill. I was called in later Oct 2024 to let me know if went to collections. When I called LabCorp they told me it was because I did not have insurance on file. So I called back with my insurance information and each time I speak with a representative and start to give my information, the line gets disconnected. This is for an amount of $123.50. This happened three times. I even requested a call back if we got disconnected and received none. I called the general *********** line and had my invoice pulled up and customer service on the line. This is taking a lot of time and feels fraudulent to keep getting cut off at the same time during my conversations with the attendants.

      Lab Corp keeps billing me and today I received a collection notice. The amount in question is $5.72, THAT HAS BEEN PAID! I have called lab corp 2x, emailed with proof of payment and sent a letter with a copy of proof of payment. Still receiving past due letters. I dont know what else to do!!!! This bill was paid in April. I believe lab corp is trying to get more money because the insurance mandated a fraction of their bill amount. Lab corps letter is threatening my credit report for $5.72, THAT HAS BEEN PAID MONTHS AGO.Attachments:~ *** provider accept payment with **** authorization ~medical **** card showing paid

      On 9/25/2024 between 3-3:30pm, I went to this location as a walk-in to have labs drawn. I had a printed out lab order and handed it to the associate when they called my name. There was some confusion about the order because 5/6 orders had been done at another lab on 9/11/2024 but the one I needed was still on there and had not been done as it had a time-bound requirement (prenatal test). They asked me to sit back down while they called provider for clarity. After 15 minutes, they called me back in and I had a seat. They asked me several questions rE: my pregnancy and then proceeded to draw my blood (one vial). The test I had done had a 3-5 day turnaround on the LabCorp website. After 7 days passed, I had my provider call the location to inquire about the results. The representative told my provider that they had no record of me ever being there on 9/25 and no results. This is the second time something like this has happened to me at this LabCorp location. The first time was in February 2024. I went in for routine lab work and just never heard back with results when my provider called, they couldnt explain what happened but that they didnt have the results.

      I got an unfounded bill from Labcorp for routine tests that were performed during my doctor visit. Labs requested were absolutely normal for the issue I came in for. I disputed the bill with my insurance and they requested records from LabCorp, so clearly they are aware this is being disputed. They keep harassing me with emails and letters about the bill and being reported to the collections. Under NY State law, its illegal. I seek immediate response on this fraudulent behavior and for these threats of collections to stop till my dispute case against this claim is finalized.

      I went to the Labcorp in ********* off of ************* on 10/7/2024. I was there to get blood drawn for my endocrinologist appointment. I told the phlebotomist that I was a hard stick. As she proceeded to enter my arm with the needle she said my vein "rolled". So instead of pulling out and trying again she proceeded to wiggle the needle in my arm insisting on getting THAT vein. As she was wiggling I felt the strongest shock go down my arm into my fingers. I said out loud "ouch that really hurts". She was casual about it like it happens all the time. I get home and my arm is still having electric feeling shocks every time I moved my arm. I made a virtual appointment to make sure nothing was really serious. The doctor said under no circumstances are these people suppose to wiggle in your arm, if it gets worse please go to ER. So that's what happened yesterday. I went to ER in pain feeling like I was being shocked every time I move my right arm. ER doctor performed an ultrasound of my arm and then diagnosed me with Ulnar nerve palsy and a referral to a neurologist. I've reached out via phone and email to try and get an explanation of the practices of blood drawing and what I'm supposed to do now with my arm?

       I am rejecting this response because:

      With respect to LabCorps response to my complaint, please note that they did not address the fact that we were given on several occasions information indicating that they did resubmit new diagnosis codes, but, as ******** representatives told us, none were ever resubmitted to ********.

      So, I reject their response as, due to their inability and/or incompetence in getting this simple problem resolved over a period of 3 months, I was forced to file an appeal with ********.  I am not confident that they are working towards a resolution of this matter. 

      In addition, there was no response from LabCorp to my complaint with respect to the lack of real customer support each and every time we contacted them.

      So, please keep this complaint opened until I have heard from ******** regarding whether or not they will process a recoded bill (if they have even received one from LabCorp). 

      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      ******* ******

      2/29/2024- I had lab done. I received the bill for $43. Nothing was submitted to insurance. I called and was told they needed a *** number and the ordering doctor. I had the doctor's office resubmit. The next month, I received the bill again. I called and was told they didn't have my insurance info. I gave them the info and was told to disregard the bill. The next month, same thing. Again, I gave them my insurance info and was told to disregard the bill. This happened again the next month. I gave them my insurance info and went online and entered all my insurance info. I then got a letter asking for a copy of my insurance cards, which I sent them. Next month, another bill came. Again, I was told they did not have my insurance information. Again, I gave it to them and was told to disregard the bill. Next month, I received a collection notice from them. I was so frustrated that I just paid the bill. Today I received another collection notice in the mail. I checked my bank account only to see that the check I wrote had cleared the bank on 9/25/2024.

      Dear Sir/Madam:

      This ****** is in response to your correspondence dated October 7, 2024. Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp) appreciates the opportunity to review Ms. ******** concerns as we take all customer inquiries seriously.

      We have researched Ms. ******** concerns as they pertain to the services provided on February 29, 2024. We are unfortunately unable to confirm the exact cause of the issue related to the claim filing for her Labcorp services and appreciate her bringing this matter to our attention. We are issuing a paper refund to ********** in the amount of $43.00 to the address provided in her complaint. We ask that Ms. ******* please allow ***** business days for this request to be completed and processed. Once Ms. ******* is refunded, we will submit the claim to her insurance company for review. Should there be any patient responsibility once we received their consideration of the claim, we will send Ms. ******* an invoice at that time.   

      We hope this information is helpful and apologize for any inconvenience this matter has caused. We hope Ms. ******** future experiences with LabCorp will reflect our continuing efforts to provide excellent customer service.

      Sincerely,

      **** ******

       I am rejecting this response because:
      I don't trust them that if they issue me a refund and then finally submit to insurance and ********* if they don't pay it, LabCorp will send me to collections. I would rather they hold on to my payment until they get a response from my insurance and ********. And I still want to know why this was never submitted to the insurance and ******** to begin with.

      Dear Sir/Madam:

      This ****** is in response to your most recent correspondence pertaining to invoice ********* Unfortunately, we are unable to submit a claim to insurance for services that have been paid and reflect a zero balance. Therefore, we must issue refund to Ms. ******* for her payment of $43.00 so that the charges may be billed to her insurance company as she states she has requested several times.

Additionally, the amount should correspond with the amount listed as patient responsibility on the Explanation of Benefits ********** receives directly from her insurance company.

      Again, we apologize for the inconvenience this matter has caused and appreciate Ms. ******** patience while we issue refund and file her claim. Ms. ******* *** contact our *********************************** at ************** and a representative will be happy to assist her.
