Last week…read moreon Wednesday in these emails, I was told that a MRI on additional area could not be scheduled at this time because while they had the order from my doctor it had not been authorized by my insurance. I had a MRI today for a different area. The technician that performed my MRI was great and used plenty of humor to help make the time go by. Five star experience on the actual MRI. On my way out the door, I stopped at the desk and asked the receptionist if there was an update available on where my approval was at for the other MRI area. It had been approved by my insurance. Rayus had not contacted me at all to let me know it was approved or get me scheduled - they have my email and text. When they checked me in, they made zero mention of it. I just happened to find out because I asked about it. Their administration side of things is just bad.

The woman at the front desk yesterday afternoon/early evening was incredibly rude and dismissive…read more My husband came down with paper orders for an MRI immediately following his appt and tried to explain that we do not need prior authorization. The woman at reception immediately shut him down (after being seemingly dumbfounded that we would even ask for such a thing), refused to even double check with our specific plan, and as a result he wasn't able to get an MRI with Rayus in a timeline that our insurance absolutely does allow. Obviously if surgery is needed we want that to happen as soon as possible. We reached out to our insurance immediately after this experience and our personal advisor with our insurance confirmed that this woman at Rayus was, in fact, completely wrong and we did not need a prior authorization because of an agreement that our insurance has with Rayas. This has the potential to actually cause harm to patients who may need something stat and are unable to get it based on over-confidence and an unwillingness to consider that patients may know their own healthcare plans and the requirements needed for different services. It never hurts to take two minutes to double check, but she acted like our very existence was an annoyance from the moment we walked in the doors. We fortunately were able to schedule with a different radiology organization for today, as they had zero issue actually looking at our specific plan to confirm what we knew--no prior authorization is needed. Then we were able to schedule a follow up dr. appt for the day that this employee was first allowing us to schedule the MRI; this demonstrates that she would have delayed him getting medical attention from his doctor by over one week for no reason at all. Not only is this not great for patient care/health, but it also ended up in losing us as a client and the revenue that would bring into Rayus. I would imagine that our insurance has a specific agreement with Rayus to waive prior authorizations in order to avoid experiences like we just had. I hope that there is some retraining that will be done on how to interact with people, what is actually required on different healthcare plans, and how to quickly double check requirements rather than the immediate "I know more than you" approach we got. Many of us actually know our healthcare plan requirements (despite the assumption that we are clueless) but even if we didn't, there would have been much better ways to handle this interaction that wouldn't have us leaving and commenting about how rude she was/that we may not want to go here anyway. My husband tried to call today to cancel our appt and explain that the information we got was wrong, but after being on hold for over 15 minutes he hung up. Based on the reviews, it seems like we aren't the only ones that she has left a negative impression on.

Before your imaging center became part of a larger franchise, I regularly recommended it to others…read more Unfortunately, my recent experiences have been very different. During the 20 years I lived in Poulsbo, I had only one serious concern involving a medical provider. Otherwise, I found the staff to be knowledgeable, prepared, and professional. At my first appointment of the year, I arrived on time but was told by the receptionist that I was early. I explained that I had been instructed to drink contrast before my CT scan. Rather than checking on the issue or helping, she told me to sit down. I asked her to speak with a manager. She left briefly, returned, and again told me to sit down and wait. As a result, I waited nearly 45 minutes, was able to drink only a small amount of the contrast and then had to receive the rest by injection. On another visit, a staff member came from the back and called my first name. I could not see who had called me, but I quickly turned around to pick up my bag. He then called my second last name twice. When I raised my concern, he did not appear to take seriously the privacy issue this created. I understand that the waiting room layout may make it difficult for staff to see every patient clearly. However, I later saw another staff member go farther into the waiting room before calling a patient's name, which seemed like a more appropriate approach. On a separate occasion, I received a bill the day before my appointment, so I wrote a check and expected to pay it at the reception desk. I handed the receptionist the bill stub and a check for more than the amount due because I expected the current visit to create additional charges, since I had not yet met my deductible for the year. She asked for my name and date of birth, then stated, "You owe X," without any greeting or explanation. I explained that I was prepared to pay the bill I had received, but I would not pay charges for statements I had not yet been sent. She said I had to pay for what appeared on the computer. I repeated that I would pay any additional amounts after receiving the appropriate statements. I gave her the bill stub and check, but she handed the check back. When I asked why, ends up that she had never seen a check before. After someone helped her process it, she charged a few cents too much and could not correct the error. Because the manager was in a meeting, another staff member eventually came and gave me the change from the overpayment. I also explained that the same receptionist had been involved in my earlier concerns and appeared to need additional training. The staff member agreed that more training was needed. Because of these repeated issues at the reception desk, I have chosen to go to imaging locations farther away, any time I could, including Tacoma, Seattle, and Edmonds, rather than deal with reception at the Poulsbo location. The staff who perform the tests seem knowledgeable and capable; my concerns are primarily with reception, the wasting my time, me having to get needles instead of drinking medicine before a procedure, HIPPA violation and billing-related communication. When I received the first bill, I called Billing, which is in another time zone, twice. During the first call, we discussed my bill because this was the first time I was paying my yearly deductible. This was on or about the 15th of the month. The billing representative told me what the bills would be the following month on the 15th. I explained that I would pay the deductible and that my insurance would pay the remaining amount after receiving the bills from Rayus. My second call to Billing was necessary because the check I gave the receptionist had not been credited to my account, and I received a 30-day notice stating that my bill had not been paid. I asked the billing representative to look elsewhere for my payment. She eventually found it and said it would be credited the following month. The next month, I received a 40-day overdue bill for the amount I had already paid. Although the front of the bill stated that the balance from my insurance company had been received but was pending in the system, the total amount requested included both the check I had submitted and the amount my insurance was expected to pay. I am sending this letter to the doctor in charge of the Rayus Poulsbo location so that he is aware of what has been happening. I am concerned that I may not be the only patient experiencing these problems, and I hope these issues can be addressed through improved staff training, clearer billing procedures, and better communication with patients. I have not called Billing since getting their 40 days overdue statement. Nor will I call them again.
