Dear Melonie Marple, Au.D. CCC-A, Director and Board Certified Audiologist, owner of Audiology and…read moreHearing Solutions, Inc. It appears that you are incorrect and mistaken in your statements and please remember it was your choice not to be available to talk to us in our many attempts via phone and in person at your office in Winchester. Happy to see that you have time for us now since it involves the Yelp review. Your statement: I apologize that your insurance gave you bad information - Dear Melonie, BCBS told us two important points 1, we have a hearing test for $0 cost to us for the entire family and 2, BCBS confirmed that the test would have been free if Audiology and Hearing Solutions would have performed that free test vs the comprehensive test. That still stands today with BCBS. Your statement: But to set the record straight, your children had hearing concerns that necessitated a diagnostic evaluation. - Dear Melonie, why you either did not look at your records or ignore what's in your records, that is entirely your call. Your records should show that the reason we all went for the free hearing test was originated by me telling my Husband, he can't hear me. That was also a discussion point with one of your doctors when my husband was asked "why are you getting the hearing test done, do you have any symptoms or concerns". No, there was no concern about our kids having any hearing issue, the kids got tested because BCBS told us everyone in the family can get the free test. Your statement: I complete testing based on the patient's needs not what an insurance company dictates. - Dear Melonie, we scheduled and got confirmed the free test with Audiology and Hearing Solutions. At no time did we receive any information from Audiology and Hearing Solutions that this changed until Audiology and Hearing Solutions invoiced us, nearly $800. Your statement: If I did not do this, then I would not be following my code of conduct and ethics. This is in no way taking advantage of you, I do not know anything about the insurance plan or what they pay when I complete my testing. I do what is best for the patient. - Dear Melonie, this is not your hospital environment anymore, you decided to have your own practice and I will follow up on my reading on your ethics and business ethics. Your statement: Your insurance did pay their portion, and just so we are transparent, the deductible for you and your wife was $64.74 each and $150.15 for your children. This adds up to $431.78 that you paid, not $800 as you indicated in your review. - Dear Melonie, as you stated (your words) "... not know anything about the insurance plan or what they pay ...", still you are correct that BCBS paid you on the comprehensive test that someone at Audiology and Hearing Solutions invoiced to BCBS and, you are also correct that we got the subsequent deductible on the comprehensive test. Unfortunately, we expected our deductible to be $0. You publicly post what you believe our deductible was so why not post the payment Audiology and Hearing Solutions received from BCBS for the comprehensive test vs the payment Audiology and Hearing Solutions should have received on the free test ? Your statement: While I appreciate you indicating that our practice was a pleasant experience, I think this review would have been better placed on your insurance's review page. - Dear Melonie, I understand your position and your attempt to protect your business now, even true you don't know anything about billing, looking up records, engaging in conversations with customers that like to talk to you (prior to posting at Yelp) and that you have given us the impression that you see yourself as the "Dr. House" of audiology disregarding parents, customers and insurance ethics. The visits to your office can be described as pleasant. I can also tell you if you had discussed with us that you would like to proceed beyond the agreed visit parameters, we could have avoided this entire situation. So, NO that review is placed correctly with Audiology and Hearing Solutions. Our Family is happy that you are not a Dentist. I can just see getting my child back with braces when she was sent in for a cavity. I am considering contacting the governing agency for your license to practice because your belief in what is ethical should be reviewed.
