Sapphire Family Practice/Valley Urgent Care Michelle Seekford Terminated for attempting to provide financial relief for uninsured patients Harrisonburg Virginia
This company charges DOUBLE of what the projected prices are from a lab vendor they are contracted with to gain personal profit. Uninsured patients are left with paying hundreds of dollars out of pocket depending on test that are ordered during the time of visit. The patient then suffers at the expense of their healthcare if they are unable to pay the required amount.
Lab vendor did not know that the owner was charging a certain amount as the practice does not run the test In house, they are sent to a processing lab. Therefore, the patient is paying double for the lab test at the office and the lab testing that will be billed to the patient for processing.
