What Our Patient Clients Say

Thanks to Patient Guards, I was able to reduce a $5,000 bill by half. Their resources were invaluable!

Walter

My son needed a procedure that was denied by insurance because it was not approved by FDA for children under 13. After meeting with 3 different cornea specialists, we went with a well-known hospital, signed the agreement, and paid cash for the procedure.

After the surgery was performed we were called and told that we had an outstanding balance. We indicated that we were self-pay clients with paperwork to prove it.

The bill was put into review. They responded by saying that the

negotiated self-pay cash price was merely an estimate and that our

outstanding balance was nearly ten thousand dollars. We asked for an itemized bill and noticed that they were charging us for items that were not used in our son’s procedure. The surgeon has confirmed that

their charges were erroneous and that the facility had post-procedurally increased the charges for the O/R Time.

We sent certified letters to the director of billing indicating that there were billing errors and an increase in OR fees that are against the Surprise Bill Act. We received no response from our certified

letters. Our fight with the hospital had been going on for 2 years with

threats to put us into collection.

We tried everything that we could and after a little research, my wife

found Patient Guards. We contacted them through their website, told

our story, and received an email response and call on the same day. We

had a couple of conversations with Doug as he was building our case.

2 days after our initial contact Doug started his fight for us. This fight was swift and impressive. Doug knows the system, knew who to contact, and got results.

We still can’t believe that after such a

long and emotionally draining 2 years of fighting, Doug was able to

completely clear up our situation bringing our bill from $12,000 to

zero. In less than a week.

If you are in a situation like ours and need help. Do yourself a favor

and call Patient Guards. Doug changed our lives and we will forever be

thankful for his service.
