Horrible place

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have medicaid. Went to the establishment go get my thumb glued had my medical card and everything handed it to them.

By the way I've never had a problem with my medical card. They then proceed to tell me they can't find my insurance. They tried charge 175$ just for the visit.

Reality they just didnt want to take care of me because they closed in 20 minutes. I highly recommend you NEVER go there.

My mistake. May 3rd 2025 was a weekend. I'm an idiot.

Original review Oct 28, 2025

Wellnow has charged me (my insurance company) $50.00 for an evening/holiday/weekend service. I was there on Monday 5/3/2025.

Taken in at 3:18 pm and final results given to me at 4:29 pm. Wellnow states that the attending nurse clocked me out at 6:24 pm. I was out of that office well before 5 pm. They are defrauding the insurance company and myself.

I've called them and stated this is fraud.

A supervisor is supposed to call me. I am waiting patiently.

Terrible Medical care and billing issue

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

If I could give no stars, I would. Not only did WellNow provide terrible medical services to my daughter, they did not bill my insurance appropriately, charging me almost $1,000 when it should have been covered. Run far and fast!

Got Billed twice and was denied a refund

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I had an upcoming payment of $139.13 on Friday. I had the money at the beginning of the week, so I paid the bill in full on Tuesday and thought I'd be done with it.

I then got a text and email for a second time thanking me for my payment. I still got billed on Friday. I tried calling over the weekend, but their offices were closed.

So, I called first thing Monday morning and was told I had to wait until Wednesday to file for a refund. They stole my money made me wait over the weekend and then told me I had to wait even longer, and I have a feeling it's going to be even longer after that.

I had the exact experience with Physicians Well Now they billed for a urinalysis test for things that are experimental my billed statement changed two times when you called they give you lame excuses about the charge they split payments up. This is a horrible experience and services I will go to the emergency room next time

I received a personal text supposedly from WellNow Urgent Care at 8:29PM stating, thank you for scheduling a payment for May 6, 2025 of which I scheduled nothing as I owe them nothing

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

WellNow, texted me from 315-784-**** on May 3, 2025 thanking me for scheduling a payment on May 6, 2025 of which I did not. I owe them nothing & have not recently visited the clinic & when I was last there paid them.

Why would I owe $336.64 for a simple Doctors visit where you dont see a real Doctor & no tests were administered? Well Now better not take this out of my bank account!

Poor medical service improper testing procedure

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I went in for a urinalysis.

I wasn't told the proper procedure for the specimen collection, only knew it because I was a medic for 6 years.

Was actually told the wrong procedure that would have made the test invalid.

A nurse came in wanting another specimen for testing that wasn't even ordered.

I got an email that my results were in, but there's no results.

I've never seen incompetence of this magnitude.

I called and asked what was going on and was told "I don't know, I'm just the receptionist"

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

To begin they never answer the phone, never. My family member has been waiting for test results for more than a week after they had them come in and repeat the test!

Is this insurance fraud? To me its crap.

There is no reason for this, I work in a busy hospital and we follow up with ALL our patients. SHAME ON THEM!

Still waiting for a refund - wish I could give zero stars!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My son made an appointment on their website to be seen at Physician's Immediate Care in Zion Illinois on a Saturday. In order to reserve his time, he was forced to pay the copay of $165.

When he arrived at the appropriate office at the appointment time, the office was closed. He called the number associated with the website and was told that the particular office he had made an appointment for was not open! Strike 1 - the website allowed him to make an appointment for a time when the office was closed. He was told to call the billing office on Monday, and when he did so he was told that as he was never seen, the billing system would catch it and issue a refund.

Since that date (July 22), we have been repeatedly calling and emailing in order to determine where the refund is. Each and every person we speak to tows the company lines:

1. "No supervisor is available but I will put in a callback request and they will be in touch (News flash - tried this three times now, no such luck.)

2. "I see that you are owed a refund, and I will escalate this for you.

You will get your money asap" (Riiiiight.)

3. "I see that you are owed a refund, but understand that we are unable to contact the appropriate department via phone (we can only message) and you are not able to speak to them directly." (Are you serious???)

4. "The check is in the mail." (This one is a personal favorite)

Almost 8 weeks and still waiting. There are many other examples of things I have been told but suffice it to say the customer service is absolutely horrible.

Please note I am NOT reviewing the actual care or the medical staff at the location, as my son was never actually seen. It is very clear to me reading reviews that others are equally unhappy with the billing and customer service - if only I had read the reviews beforehand.
