Patients were offered a genetic XXXX screening at no charge as long as they had medical insurance. Tests were done in dental offices throughout the XXXX and GA. The tests were sent to XXXX. Patients were never billed patients and assured they would never have an out of pocket charge for saliva testing. XXXX never did send out statements, however, they turned patients accounts over to Fidelis Recovery Solutions ( collection agency ). Charges range from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX or more dollars. Patients were shocked because they were promised no out of pocket cost. XXXX put it in writing. XXXX will not return phone calls or emails. I contacted a representative who is no longer with the company and he sent me training materials which stated " no out of pocket costs for patients '' The company would accept only what medical insurance would pay even if that was nothing " because we are collecting test data, and we want to make this test available to more people, we are accepting what insurance is paying and writing off the balance. '' I shared this information with the collection agency but Fidelis Recovery Solutions will not return calls about this issue either. Patients are being taken advantage of by both XXXX and Fidelis Recovery Solutions. Please advise me on how to help our patients.
