Ent And Allergy Specialists

Sneaky, unethical billing practices. Hit me with a surprise $347 bill. I received penicillin allergy testing. When I asked the office staff, they reassured me that they were in network with my insurance, and not to worry. A few weeks later, I received a bill for $347. I called the billing department thinking this was a mistake, as this is 3 times higher than the average price for this test, but they informed me that they charge the maximum amount allowed by state regulations and that I should have thought to ask them for an estimate. I told the billing representative that the office staff made it sound like this would be covered by insurance, and she stated "well, that's too bad." The only discount they offer is 10%, IF you pay the bill completely in full. They outright refused to negotiate the price any further, even when I explained that this bill was causing a HUGE financial burden. Please AVOID THIS PRACTICE UNLESS YOU WANT PAY RIDICULOUSLY HIGH SURPRISE BILLS.
