Patient financial engagement is more challenging than ever – and more critical. With patient responsibility as a percentage of revenue on the rise, providers have seen their billing-related costs and accounts receivable levels increase. If increasing collection yield and reducing costs are a priority for your organization, the metrics outlined in this presentation will provide the framework you need to understand what's working and what's not, in order to guide your overall patient financial engagement initiatives and optimize results.
No two patients are the same. Each has a very personal healthcare experience, and each has distinct financial needs and preferences that have an impact on how, when and if they chose to pay their healthcare bill. It's no longer effective to apply static billing techniques to solve the complex challenge of collecting balances from patients. The need to tailor financial conversations and payment options to individual needs and preferences is critical. This presentation provides 10 recommendations that will not only help you improve payment performance through a more tailored approach, but take control of rising collection costs.
This white paper, written by Apex Vice President of Solutions and Services, Carrie Romandine, discusses the importance of patient segmentation and messaging specifically related to the patient revenue cycle. Applying strategic messaging that is tailored to each patient type will not only better educate consumers on payment options specific to their billing needs, but it will maximize the amount collected before sending to collections. Further, targeted messaging should be applied across all points of patient interaction (i.e. point of service, customer service, patient statements) and analyzed regularly for maximized results.
This white paper, written by Apex President Patrick Maurer, discusses methods to increase patient adoption of online payments. Providers are now seeking ways to incrementally collect more payments due from patients as well as speeding up the rate of collections. This white paper shows why patient-centric approaches to online payment portals are important complements to traditional provider-centric approaches.
Increased electronic engagement between healthcare providers and patients provides significant opportunities for improving revenue cycle metrics and encouraging patients to access EHRs. This article, written by Apex Founder and CEO Brian Kueppers, explores a number of strategies to create synergy between patient billing, online payment portals and electronic health record (EHR) software to realize a high ROI in speed to payment, patient satisfaction and portal adoption for meaningful use.
Faced with a rising tide of bad debt, a large Southeastern healthcare system was seeing a sharp decline in net patient revenues. The need to improve collections was dire. By integrating critical tools and processes, the health system was able to increase online payments and improve its financial position. Taking a holistic approach increased overall collection yield by 10% while costs came down because the number of statements sent to patients fell by 10%, which equated to a $1.3M annualized improvement in patient cash over a six-month period. This case study explains how.

Effective revenue cycle management can be a challenge for any hospital, but for smaller providers it is even tougher. Read how Wallace Thomson identified unreimbursed procedures, streamlined claims management, and improved its ability to determine charity eligibility.
Before launching an energy-efficiency initiative, it's important to build a solid business case and understand the funding options and potential incentives that are available. Healthcare leaders should consider taking the steps outlined in the whitepaper to ease the process of gaining approval, piloting, implementing, and supporting sustainability projects. You will find that investing in sustainability and energy efficiency helps hospitals add cash to their bottom line. Discover how hospitals and health systems have various options for funding energy-efficient and renewable-energy initiatives, depending on their current financial structure and strategy.
Health care is a dynamic mergers and acquisitions market with numerous hospitals and health systems contemplating or pursuing formal arrangements with other entities. These relationships often pose a strategic benefit, such as enhancing competencies across the continuum, facilitating economies of scale, or giving the participants a competitive advantage in a crowded market. Underpinning any profitable acquisition is a robust capital planning strategy that ensures an organization reserves sufficient funds and efficiently onboards partners that advance the enterprise mission and values.
The success of healthcare mergers, acquisitions, and other affiliations is predicated in part on available capital, and the need for and sources of funding are considerations present throughout the partnering process, from choosing a partner to evaluating an arrangement's capital needs to selecting an integration model to finding the right money source to finance the deal. This whitepaper offers several strategies that health system leaders have used to assess and manage capital needs for their growing networks.
Announcements from several commercial payers and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) early in 2015 around increased efforts to form value-based contracts with providers seemed to point to an impending rise in risk-based contracting. Rather than wait for disruption from the outside in, health care providers are now making inroads on collaborating with payers on various risk-based contracting models to increase the value of health care from within.

How Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford increased payments received within 45 days by 20% and reduced paper submission claims by 70% by using ZirMed solutions.
The reasons claims are denied are so varied that managing denials can feel like chasing a thousand different tails. This situation is not surprising given that a hypothetical denial rate of just 5 percent translates to tens of thousands of denied claims per year for large hospitals—where real‐world denial rates often range from 12 to 22 percent. Read about how predictive modeling can detect meaningful correlations across claims denials data.
Emergency Mobile Health Care (EMHC) was founded to be and remains an exclusively locally owned and operated emergency medical service organization; today EMHC serves a population of more than a million people in and around Memphis, answering 75,000 calls each year.

However, these bonuses ended in 2015; providers who successfully meet the reporting requirements in 2016 will avoid the 2% negative payment adjustment in 2018, so now is the time to act! Included in this whitepaper are implications of increasing patient responsibility, collections best practices, and collections and internal control solutions.
Getting paid what your physician deserves—that's the goal of every biller.

Well, the teeth whitener packet was one and of course you have to use a credit card. I used my debit card. Every month they take $89.00 out of my account and send me two little vial's of teeth whitener that I don't even use.
I have gone through lengths to contact this company but cannot find the phone number or email address. I am going to send product back and demand a refund. But, what about all the other months that I was sent the product that I did not want or request?

Prior to this, I was told they needed information last week and it was sent in. Justin from Midland Mortgage said all information was in and I qualified, but while transferring I was disconnected by them on February 1, 2013. Now they said Monday it was too late and sold at auction.
I feel cheated, scammed and let down. Once more in Texas they are supposed to make public sale information; me and attorney cannot find that information. I was not served any paperwork by them or by state/county about foreclosure.
On top of it I am disabled.

Ex-Daimler executive joins UA faculty
Published: Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 3, 2012 at 11:30 p.m.
A top Daimler AG executive who headed the research and development of the German company's automotive group until his recent retirement has joined the faculty of the University of Alabama's College of Engineering in a move seen as bolstering UA's ties to the growing automotive industry in the Southeast.
Bharat Balasubramanian, who was vice president of group research and advanced engineering responsible for product innovations and process technologies for Daimler's Mercedes-Benz brand, was named an engineering professor in the mechanical engineering and electrical and computer engineering departments.
He also was named executive director of the Center for Advanced Vehicle Technologies, a cross-
discipline research center focused on automotive innovation.
Balasubramanian said he wants to strengthen relationships with industry so research and development will benefit. He said he also hopes to use his experience at Daimler to prepare students to work for the auto industry in Alabama and the Southeast.
"Nearly every foreign automotive company has a presence in the Southeast," he said in a statement. "We not only want to make students better prepared to work for them, but that they are so well-trained those companies won't look at other universities before they look at the University of Alabama."
Charles L. Karr, dean of the engineering college, said having Balasubramanian on the faculty would benefit UA and the state.
"He has been at the forefront of most of the major advances that have occurred in automotive technology over the past 20 years, and we are looking forward to having him work with our faculty and students on cutting edge automotive research and on ensuring our graduates are prepared to address the automotive challenges the world will face over the next 20 years," Karr said in a statement.
Balasubramanian received his undergraduate degree from the Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay, India, in 1973. He then joined the staff of Mercedes in Germany. He earned his master's doctorate degrees at the Technical University of Karlsruhe in Germany.

The Mesa Land Trust officially joined the ranks of just 53 other nationally accredited conservation trusts.
Mesa Land Trust works with land owners to conserve agricultural, wildlife and natural scenic lands here in Mesa County.
"To get accredited was a rigorous process so we had to look at all of our procedures and how we conduct business. We did make some changes so we are operating more efficiently now. And it means that we can continue on our work and build on the success we've had over the last two decades," says, Rob Bleiberg, the executive director for the Mesa Land Trust.
So far the Mesa Land Trust has preserved more than 53,000 acres of land in Mesa County.

This small salon has big services and I mean "services" in the old fashion way...they are on it! They call, they reschedule at your convenience, they are very service-oriented. One of the best secrets is their massage therapist Crystal does the best foot reflexology on the Islands and I've had lots of them. Every service I've had there was top-notch but you don't pay top prices. I would highly recommend this salon for any needs. Oh, did I tell you the waxing person is also wonderful I think if you want to stay out of Waikiki and not pay their prices, this is the best treat for out of town guests as well as locals. Afterwards, walk across the street and continue to treat yourself to a hot malasada.

The therapists were experienced delightful ladies and I felt as though I had received great value for money. I would definitely recommend this spa to any one.
I can't be happier with my experience at Honolulu MedSpa. I switched to Honolulu MedSpa after one of my friends raved about it. Their painless laser hair removal really is painless and my results have been great. After 3 sessions I've lost about 80% of the hair from my underarms and bikini. I also took advantage of one of their specials and got a free hydrafacial. I can't believe how incredibly clean and smooth my skin feels. The staff is super nice and knowledgeable. I am now a loyal fan.

— Wall Street Journal
"[A] revelatory yarn . . . In "Circle of Greed," the authors do justice to their subject and have produced a book that proves the adage that truth can be stranger than fiction."
— Washington Times
"Mr. Dillon and Mr. Cannon have written the type of book that, like "Den of Thieves" and "Smartest Guys in the Room," helps to explain an era."
— NYTimes.com/DealBook
"In Circle of Greed , this compelling narrative becomes an irresistible metaphor for the hubris at the heart of capitalism . . . Lerach is lucky to have Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Patrick Dillon and Carl Cannon as his chroniclers. They tell his tale with an authority and depth that comes from having followed his career since the late 1970s. . . Amid the entertaining knockabout and big personalities, the authors raise important questions about how the rule of law should work in a capitalist democracy."
— Financial Times
"[R]iveting . . . Telling this complex story is a tricky business, but Circle of Greed is up to the task: it is impressively researched and well paced, and offers reporting, not editorializing, leaving the reader to form his or her own judgments."
— Washington Monthly
"A well-reported, densely written saga" --Kirkus Reviews
"In modern corporate America, the swashbuckling captains of industry have long been the primary characters exposed in the public storytelling. But now, Patrick Dillon and Carl Cannon have stripped away the veneer of a lawyer who made his name as the business world's chief adversary, Bill Lerach. In Circle of Greed, Dillon and Cannon present a painstakingly researched and entertaining tale of a legal dynamo who seemed able to root out any corporate crime, but then became enmeshed in frauds of his own. Lerach had it all, then lost it all because of his own greed and arrogance. In this thrilling book, Dillon and Cannon have unwound the character of this perplexing man, presenting a cautionary tale that is must-reading for anyone interested in business or the law."
--Kurt Eichenwald, author of The Informant and Conspiracy of Fools

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, May 23, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- For now, you can park just about anywhere in downtown Augusta and not worry about a ticket.
"It will affect my business if we don't have some kind of parking management. How long will the commission wait to put in that two-hour rule?" said Book Tavern Owner David Hutchinson.
The commission has waited two weeks to enforce the parking ordinance already in place.
Hutchinson recently set up shop at the J.B. White's Building after moving from his old spot on Broad Street. He was there for eight years.
"If we want to have downtown filled with people, we have to find a way to keep people from parking in front of stores all day long," Hutchinson said.
"At some point, we are going to have to talk about price. How much is it going to cost to park there?" said City Administrator Fred Russell.
Seventy to 80 percent of downtown business on 11th and Broad signed a petition to repeal the two-hour limit. What works for one end of the street may not work for the other.
"We've already been down here with no parking management for years. We've seen the effects of it," Hutchinson said.

The Silence of the Alert System; Experts Urge Overhaul of Plan Unused Even on Sept. 11
Published: December 21, 2001
(Page 2 of 2)
Through the decades, the annoying, shrill test tone has been likened to a fingernail on a chalkboard. But the legendary weekly on-air 40-second broadcast has evolved to a less obtrusive eight-second digital data signal. And since the warning notification is not centrally scripted any longer, local stations can introduce it more casually.
Federal officials have estimated that the yearly cost of the Emergency Alert System to taxpayers is less than $1 million, covering administrative salaries for management, support and enforcement personnel, most of whom take on E.A.S. duties as an adjunct to other jobs. The coding equipment is entirely paid for by broadcasters, for $3,000 to $10,000 per station.
While the president has never used the alert system nationally, state and local governments, along with the National Weather Service, have activated it locally more than 20,000 times to warn listeners about tornadoes, prison breaks, hazardous material spills, flash floods and hailstorms.
Despite the drawbacks of the current system, proponents say it should not be scrapped because ''it's always there,'' according to David Fiske, a spokesman for the F.C.C. ''Not everyone subscribes to cable,'' he said.
But a reliance on broadcast alerts limits the audience for warning information because ''not everyone is always watching TV or listening to radio, and when we are asleep, we are all warning-deprived,'' said Richard A. Rudman, head of local-station coordination for the F.C.C.'s Emergency Alert System National Advisory Council.
Those in the so-called public warning community are gratified that after years of obscurity, their visibility has increased after Sept. 11.
''There are technologies out there right now that could bring emergency warnings very specifically to people in need,'' said Sol Glasner, a vice president at the Mitre Corporation, a nonprofit company in Bedford, Mass., that operates federally financed technology research and development centers.
Peter Ward, a consulting geophysicist and former senior scientist for the United States Geological Survey, envisions computer chips in radios, television sets, wireless phones, pagers and handheld computers that would continually monitor a warning channel and would be ''smart enough to alert only those who need to be warned,'' he said.
''You could, for example, send an alert to all firefighters in a specific region, or all cellphones in a single cell,'' he said.
And to warn civilians about a twister, such a system ''could light up the cellphones ahead of the tornado's path,'' he said.
Late last month in McLean, Va., Mr. Ward convened a group of 125 federal, state and local government emergency management officials as well as researchers and electronics manufacturers. Representatives of the F.C.C. and FEMA also attended. Conference members agreed to form a new group, the Partnership for Public Warning, a nonprofit public-private hybrid that wants to create uniform alert-system standards as well as a practical implementation plan for a new national all-hazard warning system.
Tom Ridge, the director of homeland security, is considering adopting a four-level warning system that would label the seriousness of future terrorist dangers, analogous to the five-stage military Defcon assessment. According to a spokesman, the system, the Threat Alert Network, could aid local enforcement officials in gauging their level of response to future terror warnings.
However, upgrading the nation's alert system would also require coordination with the private sector. Broadcasters have long resisted governmental intrusions on their programming, and electronics manufacturers have opposed government attempts to add costly features -- like ''warning chips'' -- to their products.
''Manufacturers must be involved in setting the standards, since the new equipment has to be built from a sound business perspective,'' Mr. Ward said. ''For example, the emergency-warning chip might be a feature that they could sell to customers.''

Do not use the services of Anthony Gonsalves (dba South Florida Tax Center; also does business in Boston, Massachusetts and other areas) unless you want to deal with dishonesty, unprofessionalism, and drama.
Specifically, he demanded payment before services were completed, then lied and avoided phone calls and emails until the tax return could no longer be filed electronically.
We ended up having to file it ourselves via US postal service, ultimately not receiving our tax refund until the following calendar year.

United target Herrera and De Rossi: United will increase their bid for Athletic Bilbao playmaker Herrera to trigger a £30.7 million release clause in the Spaniard's contract, while also lodging a £10.2m bid for Roma midfielder De Rossi, according to the Daily Telegraph. The Old Trafford club have had bids for both players knocked back earlier in the week, but the paper says "there is a confidence within Old Trafford that deals will be done before Monday evening".
Paper Round's view: With Everton standing firm on Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini - the Toffees having rejected United's latest double bid - perhaps the Premier League champions do indeed need to look elsewhere. The combative De Rossi is a great player and would no doubt work well in English football, but he has reservations about leaving Rome. Herrera would be a more likely purchase, if United can stump up enough cash to trigger that clause in his Athletic contract.
- - -
Arsenal target Draxler: Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has made a last-ditch move to sign German teenager Draxler, according to the Daily Mirror. The paper reports that Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis was at the club's training ground yesterday trying to seal a deal for the 19-year-old Schalke midfielder, although the Gunners are not prepared to meet the German club's £60m valuation. A fee of £40m is more appealing to Wenger.
Paper Round's view: Sixty million does seem a rather inflated price tag, even for a player of Draxler's talent and potential. But, as everyone, including Schalke, knows, Arsenal are desperate with just hours to go before the transfer window shuts. Then again, surely any deal would depend on how Arsenal go with their reported triple bid for Real Madrid's Karim Benzema, Mesut Ozil and Angel Di Maria.
- - -
Arsenal holds talks over Kalou: Meanwhile, the Daily Mail claims that Arsenal have held talks over a move for former Chelsea man Kalou. He has been the subject of interest from West Bromwich Albion, Liverpool and Cardiff so far this summer, but each had struggled to agree terms. The paper adds that free agent Carlton Cole is also an option and the Gunners have made a bid for Melbourne Victory and Australia midfielder Mark Milligan.
Paper Round: Kalou, Cole and Milligan. This really is scraping the barrel. But that's what happens when you go an entire summer without spending a penny on new recruits.
- - -
Arsenal eye Kaka: The Daily Telegraph claims that former world footballer of the year Kaka has joined Arsenal's list of targets after the Brazilian said he wants out of the Bernabeu in a bid to win more minutes on the pitch.
Paper Round's view: And another! Arsenal are certainly hedging their bets ahead of the closing of the window, but Kaka could well be one of the more attainable of their targets. Certainly more so than his Madrid team-mates Benzema, Ozil and Di Maria, who have all said they want to stay put. There could be a stumbling block though: Kaka's wages. Despite not featuring regularly, he is still one of the best paid players in the world.
- - -
Liverpool close on double defensive deal: The Daily Mail reports that Liverpool are close to sealing a £25m deal for defenders Mamadou Sakho of Paris Saint-Germain and Tiago Ilori of Sporting. The Reds' prospects of landing Sakho improved on Friday after rivals Roma seemed ready to pull out, the paper claims. It adds that the Reds face competition for Chelsea's Victor Moses though, in the form of Stoke City, West Bromwich Albion, Norwich and Southampton.
Paper Round's view: Sakho is a tremendous player and would be a great addition to Liverpool's squad, even if he's fallen down the pecking order at PSG and not played a minute this season. That state of affairs has led him to ask to leave the French capital club, and Liverpool appear to be in pole position to land him.

Home > Community > Health Library > Erythema Nodosum
Erythema nodosum (say "air-uh-THEE-muh noh-DOH-sum") is a condition in which red, painful bumps suddenly appear under the skin. They usually appear on the shins, but they may also appear on the forearms, thighs, and trunk.
This condition can be caused by a number of diseases and infections, or it can be caused by medicines. About half the time, there is no obvious cause.
It often starts with flu-like symptoms, such as fever and aches. Sometimes these symptoms come before the rash.
After a few days, the bumps turn bright red or purple and then fade to yellow or green, much like bruises. They usually fade completely in a few weeks.
Treatment is often not needed. But your doctor may do tests to try to find out what caused the problem.

Don't like to whinge, but ...Posted Sep 7, 2012
Pros: Eating
Cons: Loud music and dining room cleanliness
Location: About 350m from beach
Pros: three meals a day included in tarriff - and good meals too; room plumbing worked; good reading lights over the bed which was quite comfortable. Cons: at breakfast, dining room uncleaned from previous night - floor had refuse and tablecloths hadn't seen a washing machine for some time; air con rattly and uncontrollable; staff very off-hand - could barely look away from the computer to respond; LOUUUD music late at night - this was a real deal-breaker for we who like to sleep. Sounds like a whinge, and I do like to be positive, but if you'e got a choice, try somewhere else first; we would have but bookings in Oludeniz at that time were a bit tight.

Danny Amendola 'all good' with Tom Brady calling receivers 'pygmies'
|08.06.14 at 3:49 pm ET
RICHMOND, Va. — Don't worry Patriots fans. Danny Amendola says his feelings weren't hurt by Tom Brady making fun of his lack of height and the similar stature of fellow receiver Julian Edelman.
After practice Tuesday, Tom Brady was asked if he appreciates throwing to 6-foot-3 Brandon LaFell.
"Absolutely. I've got some of the little pygmies out there like Julian and Danny and it's nice to have a little bigger guy out there from time to time who has a bigger catch radius," Brady joked. "Hopefully Danny and Julian don't get mad at me for saying that. They won't. They know I'm joking."
Amendola confirmed Brady's instinct after Wednesday's walkthrough.
"I did hear that," Amendola said with a good-natured smile. "I don't know. It's all good. I don't even know what [a pygmy] is."
That's why we're here. A Wikipedia search revealed the following:
A pygmy is a member of an ethnic group whose average height is unusually short; many anthropologists define pygmy as a member of any group where adult men are on average less than 150 cm tall.
For the record, Amendola (180 cm) and Edelman (178 cm) are well above the cutoff. So, how are Edelman, Amendola, LaFell and Thompkins all getting along?
"We're all boys, we're all really good friends," Amendola said. "We work well together and we're just trying to get better every day."
Only time will tell if "The Pygmies" will join the ranks of "The Smurfs" and "The Fun Bunch" as other great diminutive receiving corps in NFL lore.

Cueva people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cuevas were an indigenous people who lived in the Darién region of eastern Panama. They were completely exterminated between 1510 and 1535 due to the effects of Spanish colonization. Following the massacre of the Cueve, the island of Isla Chuche was populated by African slaves, imported there by the Spaniards to search for pearls.
The Darién region formerly occupied by the Cueva became populated by the Kuna after their westward expansion during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Conlin was highly involved in athletics over his high school years. He was a vital part of the Football and Basketball teams at Walter Murray for 4 years. He was a team captain of both the football and basketball teams. In the words of his basketball coach, as a leader Conlin modeled fellowship and empowered others to lead. Conlin is always the first to volunteer when an extra hand is required and he takes it upon himself to make sure that the task is done efficiently, thoroughly, and on time. Conlin has demonstrated the ability to be extremely orgainized, confident, committed and highly energetic.
While participating in Basketball and Football, Conlin has won numerous awards including the Athlete of the Year, Offensive Player of the year in Football, Rookie of the Year in Football, Defensive Player of the Year in Basketball, and The Asphalt Award for being the toughest player on the Senior Football team.

On 9/1/06 we contacted customer service back as it had now been 48 hours and we had not received a call from the repair tech. A 3 way call was made between HH Gregg, my husband and the repair tech, B. Lee. Mr. Lee stated he had spoken with us and we had scheduled an appoitment for that same day and then we canceled it, my husband explained that was not true and was then told that he would get a call back that night to schedule an appoitment.
The next morning we had not received a call so I contacted Mr. Lee myself and left a message because after contacting HH Gregg customer service I was told they did not know why I had not received a call back and all they could do was give me the repair tech's number.
Tuesday 9/5/06 we had still not received a call from Mr. Lee so we again contacted HH Gregg customer service on 9/6/06 and requested a different repair company and we were again told we would receive a call within 24 hours.
On the evening of 9/7/06 we had once again not received a call from anyone so my husband contacted the HH Gregg store that we purchased the washer and dryer from and spoke with a store manager, Josh, he explained the situation and was told by Josh that he would personaly contact us the next day.
On 9/8/06 when we had not received a call from Josh my husband again called the store that we purchased from and was told that Josh was not there and the store manager at that time was not available. My husband explained the situation to the girl on the phone and asked for a regional managers name and number she stated she did not know that information.
I sent an email to HH Gregg customer service on Monday 9/11/06 explaining all of the events leading up to this, in the limited amount of space available, and the response I received was that we needed to call Mr. Lee as he had been trying to reach us. We have caller ID on both numbers we gave them and have NOT been contacted by ANYONE, not Mr. Lee, not the other repair company, and NOT HH Gregg!
Not only do the products at HH Gregg obviously not withstand normal usage the "5 year protection plus" warrenty is a COMPLETE rip off because you will NEVER get anyone to come repair anything!

4 WEEKS later and we still have a useless washing machine and are no closer to a solution than day one. DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM HH GREGG! We would have been better off to just donate that $1700.00 to charity and have kept our 12 year old washing machine purchased from Sears, atleast it worked!

They (or whoever since they say they only sell the "certificates")sent technicians to my home who lied and said that there was a "computer crash" when they couldn't establish a line of sight.
That's how they got out of my house with the "certificate".
I was told to call the next day and they would fix everything. I called, they came out the following weekend and did nothing to help. This call and come out pattern went on for weeks until I finally asked to have the service removed.
At that time, I was threatened with an early termination fee because I hadn't kept the service for the term of the contract.
Was I really supposed to pay every month for a service that they couldn't provide? I'll defer to a law siting "merchantability". In short, it says that if somebody sells you something that doesn't perform the task that it was sold for, the merchant should be responsible for refunding the consumers $$.
I contacted the better business bureau and they worked with me to get Dish to cancel the service without a penalty.
I sent back the equipment and thought that my nightmare was over.
About a month or so later, I get a bill from VMC Satellite for the early termination fee. I was floored. I called and was treated like dirt by their staff.
They act like a collection agency and treated me as though I were garbage. After my first rude discussion with a so called supervisor, I had decided not to call them back and ignore a bill that couldn't possibly have any substance to it. I did anyway about a month later when I got another bill telling me how "very good" their collection agency was.
I tried to talk to a manager who gave me the same run around in a better tone of voice. The long and short of the problem, is that if you can't return their "certificate" you owe them money. I got the blah blah blah about fine print and what I signed yadda yadda yadda. I asked them to "step up and do what any reputable company would do" and was told that they would bring the charges down to their cost of the "certificate" but refused to admit that they were wrong.
I would like to know how, if they only sell "certificates" as they say, they have the right to try to charge me for early termination of a service that they don't even provide! Hmmmmm.
It doesn't matter what kind of rebuttal you see from them. Their scum in business suits. Don't make the mistake that I made.
