Hattiesburg Clinic

Someone called (amber) from the doctors office this morning and left a message on my phone stating my appointment for the test scheduled for September 11, 2023, said insurance said they won't pay for that cause it is not medically necessary, the reason being they already paid for the same test that was done about 6 months earlier and the doctor determined base on the Brain MRI and Cognitive testing (asking questions,and remember them and words, etc.and have me draw/copy images, etc.), that I needed the prescription Aricept 10 mgs so he prescribed that for a whole year. She told me that the insurance would not pay for the modified test on the 11th. She said she had no record I was given a test and I told her well, I have the results right here. she said if I wanted to have the test it would cost $299.00 out of my pocket. I said it's the same test that was given to me already that they paid for already. so, she and I ended up hanging up, she was very rude, not very caring at all. SO cancelled all the appointments for that date 11th and 18th suppose to be a follow up for that test. a lot of "incompetence" going on. I spoke with the nurse (Jennifer J), and she was just as rude and very indifferent. MY suggestion is "DO NOT USE DR SCHWARTZ OR HIS STAFF" i Have included a copy of the correspondence between nurse and myself about it here...She told me she would inform Dr Schwartz that both appointments are cancelled, "instead" of resolving the issue.
