Circle Of Life Womens Center UNETHICAL, DISCRIMINATORY, FRAUDULENT BILLING PRACTICES & TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE OGDEN Utah

This Company is an Ob/Gyn office I used the service of Dr. Jed Naisbitt, for more than 12 years. I saw this office for my last pregnancy, beginning August 2005 and ending February 2006.

I found a new doctor because the doctor had not performed all of my required prenatal testing and I felt like the doctor was too busy to give me the attention my pregnancy required.

Immediately after I fired this Office, I received a bill for services of 7/more visits of prenatal care. The first and only bill was received on March 31, 2006, for the amount of $513.45.

I argued with the billing department that this doctor had not delivered my baby and I thought I only had to pay my $25.00 co-pay for each visit. I was told too bad so sad, so I told them I would deal with paying the bill after the birth of my baby.

My baby was born April 12, 2006. This RIP OFF CLINIC, Circle of Life women's center sent it to collections on April 28, 2006. I was not even given 30 days to pay the medical bill.

The collection company immediately added $211.11
and sent me a new bill on May 1, 2006. I have been arguing back and forth and the bill is now $1065.17 I have not even been able to get to court. I have offered the medical clinic the $513.45 immediately after receiving the first notice from the collection company the first week of May 2006, if they would recall this bill from collections, and was told TOO BAD FOR YOU!! The billing manager was rude and stated that she thought I would not pay the bill, so she sent it to collections???

I had been a patient for 12 good paying years but because I sought out a new doctor I was discriminated against.

I have contacted the Circle of Life Women's Center's new billing company that is listed on their web site and was told by the NEW billing company that no account goes to collection for any reason until 60 days after the first bill is sent, and even then it goes to a collection department and not a collection company.

This clinic is the MOST UNETHICAL AND UNLAWFUL RIDICULOUS COMPANY I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH!!!!! DO NOT USE THEM UNLESS YOU WANT TO GAMBLE WITH YOUR PREGNANCY AND OR YOUR BILLS??
