Scripps Coastal Medical Center Oceanside – Vista Way

I’ve been a patient here since 2008 when it was called Vista Way OB-​GYN.
When my insurance changed at the beginning of the year, I was ASSURED by this office that my new insurance was in network. Imagine my shock when I received a $ 200 medical bill FOUR months later saying that my insurance is NOT in network, therefore, my insurance only payed $ 50 of a $ 250 annual exam bill.
When I spoke with the Scripps billing department, they basically told me that I can’t prove I was told that they were in network and that I am responsible for a bill that’s supposed to be 100% covered by insurance. Because of the blatant LIE by this office, I am now forced to pay out of pocket. A company who cares about their patients would try to work with them, not wanting to create a financial hardship for a long time customer.
Bottom line: they don’t care about their patients… they are out to make as much $$$ as the greedy corporation that they are.
