It’s not too difficult to understand why, after such a significant economic upheaval (that’s still not over), that some companies are still acting with impunity over their actions. It’s still greed and the hope that people are so caught up in other things that they won’t get caught. I want to point out a company, but will refrain from using their name, that has obviously continued this practice. Let’s say you have a family member who requires an ambulance…let’s say this person has excellent insurance…and let’s say that the bill was paid by the insurance company promptly. Let’s even say that the provider CASHED the check that was sent…and let’s say that this company has threatened collections and other legal action if the bill isn’t paid. Why is it that the person with the insurance is that open to the fraudulent efforts of this ‘response company’ to collect additional money for services rendered? I must thank the insurance company ( how often do we say that) for giving us the language that finally prompted this ‘response company’ to finally give up their fraudulent collection efforts (reluctantly, of course). Who else is this happening to and how much does this cost each one of us in additional premiums and higher medical costs? If it happens to someone in my family and we have the coverage we have, what happens to the 95% who have lesser coverage? How many people are sent to collections wrongly due to the practices of these companies? If it is happening more than 1% at this point, then fraud is rampant and you and I deserve better. I encourage you to review every medical bill and insurance reimbursement you receive. I recommend that you contact these companies directly and ask for clarification of their policies and exactly what they expect to pay and what companies that provide service expect to receive. If we decide to pursue this further with a class action effort or other, we’ll keep you posted. If these companies finally realize that we’re the sentries they may stop the overt efforts to steal from you, and that’s what they were trying to do to us.
How does this relate to Natural Bridges Products and LiverGARD? It doesn’t, other than you won’t find us trying to be fraudulent, devious, or anything of that nature. Our products work, they’re fairly priced, and safe to use. We wouldn’t do it any other way. We’re just sorry that others choose a different path, especially since we can’t understand why…..check back for further updates….
All the best, NBPI
