  On 01/04/21 I had a mammography completed at ***** *********** ******** ******* ******* This service was billed under the name of Columbus Radiology. On 06/09/21 I received a bill for this service of $135, which Col. Radiology stated " Eligibility Rejected". This is not correct due to me being covered with **** insurance Co. On 06/16/21 I paid the $135.00 by Master Card (Ref # ******). Later I received a statement from **** showing they paid $243.00 on 01/22/21 to Columbus Radiology (check # *******). The **** statement showed my responsibility was $0.00. ( i had this same procedure done this year 2022) and my statement from Columbus Radiology showed I did not owe any money on the 2022 procedure.) At this point I realized that I should have never paid the $135.00 for the service on 01/04/21. I at this point called Columbus Radiology, stating that I paid a bill which my insurance company had already made payment on. I have talked to several people at Columbus Radiology which has done nothing for me. I have mailed and emailed this company per the request of **** Insurance and yet have not received any response back even though I was told a supervisor would be calling me back. I am requesting a payment of $135.00 for which I paid in error.

  A payment was not received by the insurance but only a denial. It has been escalated for status and a copy of the EOB

  I was referred to ******* ******* for an annual Mammogram by The Department of Veteran's Affairs. I have a copy of the VA Form 10-7080 Approved Referral For Medical Care. A mistake was made somewhere and my insurance was billed and it was denied because for lack on information. The VA is supposed to be paying for this exam. **** ****** fixed their mistake and that portion was taken care of. Columbus Radiology made the same mistake and I cannot get anyone that speaks and understands English on the phone. I have called 4 times and they do not understand what the VA is and refuse to transfer me to a supervisor.

  Columbus Radiology- I see many complaints for the same issues here. It is very frustrating when you have documentation that show your bill has been paid, you call and they say, yes, I see that here, will take care of it and a month later you get another statement threatening to go to collection. Then you get a letter from a collection company with the threats and all. This has been going on for over a year. Service date was Jan. 7, 2021. My FSA paid on 3/16/2021. I've been on the merry go round since. I have a reference number that my insurance company gave to them when I had UH, CC and myself on the line. It was ****** ****** proof of payment ref. #. That was in Sept. of 2021.. This is after I have sent many copies of the direct payment notices from my FSA that they are ignoring. I spoke with Marietta in billing on 12/8/2021, and she said it is being worked on. What is it with this company? I will no longer go to any hospital that uses Columbus Radiology as it's billing service. Too much trouble.

  I accept the business's response to resolve this complaint.  I would like to have this gone as quickly as possible. Do not want to have to keep beating a dead horse. I have been replying to Columbus Radiology for approximately a year. With no resolution. No matter how many times they told me they show the payment, were applying it and all should be good then being sent to collections that will affect my credit score after continual proof that the bill was paid, really irritates me. This complaint is not new with this company. Maybe the AG or Secretary of State that issues licensing to these fly by night companies need to look into them.

  I erroneously submitted payment through my HSA insurance account on 06/8/2021 to Columbus Radiology Corporation working out of ***** ******* ******.. I contacted the company multiple times over the course of several months and they have not refunded my erroneous payment. My insurance company also faxed a confirmation of payment and proof that the echeck had cleared/cashed. I have made several requests to speak with a supervisor to help resolve the matter but I was told the supervisor would need to call me later. When my insurance opened a fraud claim report against the company, 3 days later a supervisor ***** contacted me 10/8/2021 and stated he was sending it to the refund department to review and process the refund. Every customer service agent I've spoken with and this supervisor stated it would take 30 to 45 days to process a refund. This matter has been ongoing since June 2021 and I have called this company numerous times. Now it is January 2022 and still have not received my refund. It sadden me to think this is happening to other patients who may not know how to resolve this problem.

  More info

  I was in the hospital in December of 2020 and had a CT scan done. I received a bill in the winter of 2021 from Columbus Radiology for $286.00 for these services. I paid this bill on 4/30/2021 and have saved the emailed receipt with confirmation. In August my insurance company decided to cover the bill in full and paid Columbus Radiology an additional $286.00. I called Columbus Radiology in mid August confirming that the insurance company paid. At this point they told me that they did pay and I now had a credit on my account for $286.00. I was told I would receive a check in the mail for this credit in 30-45 days. On Nov. 1st I had not received it, so I called again. They verified I had a credit, apologized, checked with a supervisor, and then said the refund would again be mailed out and I should receive it in 30-45 days. On December 10, 2021 I was sent a bill from Columbus Radiology for these services from the previous year saying my account was over due and I now owed $286.00. On 12/13/21 I called Columbus Radiology questioning the bill since it had been paid twice and I was awaiting a refund. The rep I spoke to told me to disregard the bill and verified that I had a credit of $286.00 that had not been processed yet, even though I had called twice before with promises of it being processed. She told me she would put in a request for it to be escalated, but could not give me a time frame on when I would receive my refund. I asked for her to have someone call me back by 12/15/21 with an update on this issue. She assured me she would call me with an update. It is currently 12/30/21 and I have not received any calls from Columbus Radiology, and I have not been able to reach anyone on the phone for the past several days during business hours. I just want to know the status of my refund and when I will get it since it has been more than 90 days since they have had a credit on my account.

  The refund request has been escalated the refund team.

  the refund has been escalated to the refund team three times prior to the response given today from the business. I asked for traceable confirmation that my refund has been processed for this reason. I’ve been told three times my case has been escalated when it has not, so responding that they will escalate to the refund team alone with no other info or confirmation of the refund being sent is not satisfying.
