Pissed consumer

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Charged more for service that was quoted. Ear Wax Removal was quoted between $99.00 - $136.00.

Service took total of 5 minutes to remove wax from both ears. My father was charged moderate visit which was $151.96 this was unkind, mis -represented, unacceptable billing for what was told to my father and for what he agreed to pay. If unresolved I will turn you into Attorney General of Ohio and the Better Business Buerua. This is over charging and price gauging, we did not agree on this payment.

My father Gerald Montague receive Wax Removal from Minute Clinic CVS on Fulton Rd. Jackson Township, Ohio. Please return your comments.

I will wait 24 hours befor I take further steps to correct this problem.

Very upset Consumer. I was scammed by your Minute Clinic CVS Dept.

lol! 5 minutes … yeah right!

If it was soooo easy to get the wax out then you would’ve done so at home. Especially since you ate a cheapskate and don’t want to pay for medical care.

Guest

5 minutes to remove impacted wax from BOTH ears on an old man? You’re delusional. Obviously you’re just trying to scam cvs

Considering the OP would not have been the one to decide the procedure would take 5 minutes, how are they trying to scam? If anything, CVS cheated them!

Billing error

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Minute clinic is the epitome of fraudsters. If I could give negative 5 star then I would love to give that negative rating.

They sent me my kid's flu shot bill after 2 years stating it was not covered.

This is the worst service.

How I am suppose to correct after 2 years. I dont even have the insurance info after such a long time.

Loss:

Cons:
  • Too many

Preferred solution: Just waive my billing which is your company error.

Maybe you should have checked with your insurance to make sure you he shots were covered. Not all plans reimburse MinuteClinic for shots given to kids. It is your responsibility to call and verify before accepting service.

They put the flu shot code in wrong

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They put my name in backwards so insurance denied it. Waited on hold for 1hr to get name fixed.

They fixed my name but didn't put the correct code in. I've been on hold for 1.5 hrs for minute clinic (my insurance is on the call waiting as well). Still no answer. All I wanted was a flu shot.

Just a flu shot and hour and hours of my time has been wasted trying to rectify at 75 dollar flu shot.

Never use minute clinic. Any Bill issues are impossible to solve !!!

Why aren’t you taking responsibility for this problem. YOU actually entered your own name when signing up for your appointment. So YOU entered it backwards, resulting in this problem.

Impossible to contact

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Received a bill for services because they did not bill my primary insurance properly. Blue Cross rep on the phone with me trying to reach them for almost 90 minutes and they dont answer the call. Called corporate office number and 30 minutes later no one answers and then it disconnects.

Medical care received has been good but terrible customer service if there is any billing or insurance coverage issue.

Previously they lost one of my payments ( received a bill after the NP said it was covered in full ) and I was able to reach someone who told me not to worry as sometimes it takes weeks for a payment to be confirmed, then they sent it to collections.

Billing

I went in for a flu shot, I have Medicare and Medicare Supplement. I was sent a bill for $159?

This is supposed to be covered.

I tried to call the customers service line (HA HA), first two times I was told the office was closed and the third time I was on hold for an hour and hung up. There is no email contact info on the phone #

Sick visit

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Minute Clinic - Sick visit

January 17 24 I visited the Minute Clinic on N. Ocoee St.

I was hurting like I was taking the flu. The first girl I saw was very nice and helpful the second person Doctor Jesse was rude and she did act like she did not believe a word I was saying, even though I told her I do not do drugs or alcohol. Dont even smoke. Im there to get some help because I feel like Im taking the flu.

She kept arguing with me about how many days I had felt bad and the 17th was the second day I had been hurting all through my body. I told her I could try to get in with my primary care if she did not want to give me Tamiflu I had had the flu before and I knew the symptoms she said because I was not running a fever that I couldnt have the flu, any specialist will tell you that if you have autoimmune disease a lot of times, you will not run a fever. Its because of your immune system is suppressed. I had always been totally satisfied with the doctors and the workers there and I love CVS they have always been so kind and tell yesterday January 17, 24.

I will have to find me a different option , when I get sick again, why is that American people feel like we are being treated like criminals. If youre sick, then they need to treat you. Im just sad because I had always gotten great service when I had went to CVS MinuteClinic until yesterday I hope Dr. Jessee reads this and learns from this , I try to be a strong person and a lot of times I will put on a fake face just to feel better.

Ive always tried to help people yesterday. There was no fake face today. Im feeling like Ive been ran over by a truck.

Im thankful I was able to get the Tamiflu medicine. hoping I feel better soon

Treat you like family ??

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Thats your quote?? Would you turn away your sick family member who needs medication??

Thats what you do!

I get frequent sinus infections. At least 4 yearly. No fevers. I know what they are and how they make me feel.

I drove to minute clinic 6:00p.m. Sick as a dog. To be told to take mucinex, use Vicks (allergic to mint, as it states on my medical record) and drink lots of water. She said youll be sick for 2 more weeks!!!

Are you kidding me?!? I begged the NP for a zPak. Its the only medication that works for me. I wasnt asking for an opioid!

Just a zpak!! I ended up seeing my family physician 2 days later. He was mortified when he checked my sinuses. Guess what?!

I got the zpak. No compassion whatsoever!

I will never step foot in a CVS.

Ever again. ( Niles Ohio)

You demanded antibiotics for a virus too? I wouldn’t brag about that.

Guest

The doctor was “mortified” at your sinuses? LOL.

Dramatic much? Your doctor must not see very many serious conditions.

Guest

Considering Z Packs are no longer recommended for sinus infections due to bacterial resistance, it’s safe to say your doctor is a quack for prescribing it. Though you will say differently because he did exactly as you wanted, not what was medically appropriate. All based on your Google medical degree.

Guest

You do realize that your doctor wrote you a script just so you would shut up and leave, right? And since when does Vicks contain “mint” lol

Billing issues

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They didn't run my insurance then started sending paper, email and text bills - I waited to see if maybe there was a delay in the insurance company processing it but they never charged the insurance. I checked my account and no EOB for minute clinic on record.

Tried to call.

. . multiple times - my record is 45 minutes waiting, then I walked away and the call was disconnected.

Tried asking for billing, then insurance, then other and got the same classical hold music.

Tried to check the website - it sends you in circles and no other way to contact them. Either pay your bill or die of old age waiting on hold.

So, what do you all want for lunch today? I’m going to have the Mediterranean salad.

Guest

You certainly looked like you never miss a meal. Why are you giving healthcare workers grief about their lunch break?

Guest

Does the staff not deserve a lunch break? And is there any reason why you couldn’t schedule an appointment like everyone else?

Guest

Maybe you shouldn’t expect to be seen right when they close for lunch. Poor planning on your part is not their problem!

Unprofessional service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I went to this place for my vaccines on Tuesday on 10/10/23. The check-in person, although nice, reeked of cigarette smoke to the point of making my throat itch and my nose burn.

Then, the man who administered the shots was working on the computer to enter my info.

He then got up to give me my shot, but did not sanitize his hand. When I suggested he do so, he said he was cleaning his hands all day long. I told him keyboards were notorious for germs. He didn't say anything, but he did sanitize his hands, and then he proceeded without putting on gloves and jabbed me hard.

I have never had a vaccine there that caused me such pain. I intend to never use the Minute Clinic again. There are plenty of other choices for me to go to for vaccines. I'm terminating my relationship with the Minute Clinic.

DONE. He was cold and impersonal.

Extremely bad service

They keep sending me bill for vaccination and when I called the insurance company, they even did not file a claim. I called them three times, each time waited for at least 30 minutes and listed to their boring music. I am trying to dispute this bill and tell them to submit a claim to my insurance company.

Preferred solution: want them to stop sending me bill for vaccination and submit claim to my health insurance. My insurance provider said they did not receive any claim.

They have mine too. Medicare Part B told me that Minute Clinic is NOT submitting the invoices.

I am so sick of wasting my time with this. We should ALL complain.

Whoever you are, you work for a very shady operation. I have pernicious anemia due to well documented autoimmune disease.

I need monthly B12 injections. I had no problem using Minute Clinic for a couple of years. The invoices were sent to Medicare Part B and it was totally covered. As it should be because it is medically necessary.

Fast forward to the end of 2023, I keep getting billed $35 for each injection. I have called Medicare Part B and there response was "the bills would be paid, however, Minute Clinic has stopped submitting them". They have all of my insurance information, the company is STEALING from patients. I am going to report this online wherever I can.

I am going to get to the bottom of this, and I will never use Minute Clinic again. I advise others to do the same.
