Park Nicollet Vision Eye Care Patricia block Billing customers without informing Out of Network Charge St Louis Park Minnesota

Hi,

I went to Park Nicollet for medical exam which is in-network and i have some vision problem so i took appointment which is in the same floor with Park Nicolet eye care... the appointment was taken and service was done and in all due process i was been serviced by out of network provider who never ever care to tell me that i am Out of Network to them and vice versa... this is total scam and i been sent a bill of 365$ where as i am 100% covered in my vision and if i would go to in-network specialist for eye.. i would have paid nothing...

Patricia Block who claims as supervisor said they dont inform the customer since it is customer responsibility which i disagree since any service provider does this basic checks and informes customers that they are out of network .. are we ok with it... 

The way this is been handled and Patricia responded that it is not Park Nicolet responsbility.. is total Rip Off... how can anyone get a huge bill since service provider dont do the basis checks... this is one way to make money.... 

we Pay high cost insurance already and when we get huge bill which could have been avoided by doing some basic checks... will help all in the long run to avoid any unnnecessary cost..

I called Attorney General and going to register a complaint for Park Nicolet eye Care health services.

Regards,

Aziz
