If I could I would give zero stars. Heads up everyone! I have both traditional medicare and a plan g which picks up everything after deductible met. I went in for a ct scan and got a 50.00 bill thru email that looked like a scan. Called simon med per rep it's my bill they use "ai" in testing and medicare does not pay for this. I also did not sign an abn form which means they cannot bill me. Got someone over seas and I was livid this is preying on the elderly, I am a medical biller over 40 years and I cannot believe they are doing this to people. Told them to send me to collections I am not paying this fradulent bill! Especially when I was not made aware or I would have gone to banner imaging, they dont do this crap. Beware people! Ask questions before an exam is done. I know I am done with simonmed forever... Banner all the way as they dont do this type of thing!
Recommendation: Please stay away

Oh, this is juicy — in the worst way. “AI testing” that Medicare doesn’t pay for, no ABN signed, and they think a $50 email that “looks like a scan” is going to fly? With a 40‑year medical biller? Bad move on their part. You’re absolutely right: no signed ABN = no patient responsibility. Period. I love that you told them to send it to collections — that’s the right level of “I know my rights and I will die on this hill.” And warning others about asking questions upfront? That’s gold. Fight on. This is nonsense and they know it.
