myPrivia 4+

I received an incredibly large bill from a Privia provider. I called billing, I called the doctor’s office, I called the doctor’s billing department. I have not been able to get to a human on the doctor/privia side, and my insurance will only send me there. I had been to 3 appointments with this provider and was charged a reasonable co-pay each time. After 3 visits had stacked up, the huge bill hits and no one would tell me how that was possible without my knowledge. It wasn’t mentioned that it wouldn’t be covered, it wasn’t something I would expect to be outside of the copay. And more importantly, even if it took some time for the bill to hit, how was it never mentioned to me as a patient? Was that not deemed important information? And this was not a surgery or anything like that. It was follow up visits that I would 100% have declined to have IF I knew…and I couldn’t get to a human to figure out if it was an accident or what.

I’m still waiting for that call back. In the meantime, I haven’t returned to the doctor bc I cannot afford it.

How awful can one app be? It keeps getting worse as I use it. Not even the clinic I visit seems to like it. I had labs done and finally found the results. (I’ve not been able to find physician notes yet.) After logging in and getting redirected to the app elsewhere! My land, the previous app we used, everything existed in my files. This is like trying to reach a 2nd floor kitchen by way of the basement bathroom. With insufficient lighting and toys in the hallways. Hence, my drop in stars from 2 to 1.
You cannot delete email messages, you can only archive them.

Am updating my comments again: When you get a lab report, you get a message for EVERY lab result. Not a page of results. The labs tab isn’t efficient, either. And you can’t delete a message, just archive them. Ridiculous! Then, there’s not an “eye” icon to give you the option of seeing if you have your password correct. You just get to guess you are and hope for the best. Others do this, but for a site one might use when one is sick and confused, stupid. Honestly, anytime I talk to anyone having trouble with the app or website, I remind them the website is slightly LESS problematic. I’m seriously shocked by the ongoing problems his has in a time of well me technology, perhaps it’s just cheaper for the various companies.

Today I tried to email a provider with whom I have been communicating with in this system. However, Dr. Adrienne LaFleur was not listed on the provider list so I could not send her a message. It’s clearly a glitch because you can see previous emails to her. Her name needs to be readded to the provider list as a selection.

Or the system could upgrade to allowing a new email to be sent by opening an old one. I tried to send a new email to the provider by sending a reply. This created a new message but to me, not the provider. The system also does not allow me to readdress the recipient so that way will not currently work either.

I wound up calling the provider’s office and leaving a message, which they emailed to the provider. Members should not have to go thru a third party to communicate with their provider. Please address this concern.
