The basis of this review is solely on the billing and customer service Vendetti has provided me, not the care I have been receiving from my therapist.
I came to Vendetti in April, 2024, having followed my therapist from another practice. The hourly rate was $150. On January 2, 2025, the rate increased to $195. I was provided no notice and no explanation. With the next and subsequent visits, 3 additional fees were added ($70, $55, $95) with no notice and no explanation. In the span of 3 weeks, the session fee plus the addition of these other unknown fees resulted in a total of $415, which is an increase of $265, or 64%.
I have been trying since February (when I became aware of the increase) to get an explanation. I spoke and left 3 messages with the billing clerk, for the Director of Billing to call back, as she was not available. The Director did not return those calls. After my therapist's intervention with her boss and the owner of the practice, the Director finally called back on June 13 (5 months later). I unfortunately was not in a position to speak at that time. Since then, I have repeatedly called the Director (2 times a week from June 24 to August 15, totaling 17 calls) and left many messages for a return call, which I never got (see update below).
If not for my therapist, I would leave and seek counseling elsewhere. Vendetti management and the owner (who is well aware of the situation and has made no effort to contact me herself) have made quite clear how disinterested they are in their patients.
Do yourself a favor. Get your mental health care elsewhere. Don't burden yourself with having to deal with other issues like billing and being ignored on top of everything else you're dealing with. It is evident the people at the top could not care less. And one other question I would offer is why these people are unwilling to supply an explanation for the hefty increase in fees and lack of notification.
Update: On Friday, September 19, I received a call from someone in the billing department. She said the owner of Vendetti asked her to call me (why didn't the owner call me herself??) to tell me the Director of Billing would be calling on Monday, September 22. She did call but I missed it. I called her on Tuesday, September 23 and spoke with the same person who had called me on Friday. She said the Director was on another call but would call me back asap. Needless to say, the Director did not call back. read more
