00:00All right, as always, you can go to YouTube channel My Medical Nightmare and see 40 plus
00:07hours video on everything that happened to me.
00:10All right, update on the extremely shady business practices of the medical services provider
00:17Xperity.
00:19According to their press release, Xperity was formed through the combination of Practice
00:24Velocity and DocuTap.
00:26It provides technology solutions to more than 5,700 urgent care practices across the United
00:34States.
00:35What's interesting is that figure has been changed in their newer press releases after
00:422022.
00:44They now don't name the number of practices that they're involved with, but simply state
00:50over 50% of the U.S. urgent care market runs on Xperity solutions.
00:56So they do EMR and Practice Management, SAAS solutions, patient engagement technology,
01:03e-registration, overread services, employee portal for occupational medicine, referral
01:10management, revenue cycle management services, and analytics.
01:15Owned by GTCR since 2022, March.
01:20I found out about Xperity when I had an x-ray done at an American Family Care AFC urgent care
01:29clinic in Birmingham, Alabama in 2019.
01:33That's Anna Maria Agni, M-D-D-A-B-R.
01:37She wrote, no injuries appeared in the images.
01:41I got the images, and I'll put them in this video again, and you can see that I have a
01:47translucent anomaly beneath my skull in the area of the first, second vertebrae, about
01:53three or four inches in diameter here.
01:55I later found out I had broken the underside of my skull, and I almost died from this injury.
02:01Again, I was told no injury appeared.
02:04I called the number that appeared below this doctor's name in the urgent care medical records
02:11I obtained, and it led to this company, Xperity.
02:15I had a lot of problems dealing with Xperity.
02:18They are not responsible or accountable professionally, or they're not professional either.
02:25That's my experience.
02:26Their employees engage in social engineering tactics, as was in my case.
02:32They have a public relations department that regularly tries to float Xperity employees
02:41in various awards to boost their profile and give them social status and social proofing.
02:48Yeah, the profile of this company, extremely suspicious.
02:52You'll see here, they advertise, meet us in Vegas, as in the gambling capital of the United
02:59States, Las Vegas, Nevada.
03:01Let's meet at the UCA annual convention, April 30 through May 4 at Caesars Palace booth, 301.
03:09Place your bets on Xperity.
03:10So here they associate themselves with luck or being winners at games of chance.
03:16It's not something that you can afford if you're a patient looking for health care.
03:22You don't want these type of games being played with your well-being.
03:26All right, so I'll mention here a Better Business Bureau complaint against Xperity.
03:32This was made in October 2023, and it was never responded to by Xperity.
03:40You can go to the Better Business Bureau website and search this for yourself.
03:45Look up the name of the company.
03:47So if you're out there and you're interested in possibly doing business with Xperity or you're
03:53a medical patient seeking possible treatment, I would advise you not to do business with
03:59Xperity.
04:00If you had dealings with this company, you might want to pull out your records and documents
04:05and double-check them.
04:07It looks like the corruption that operates within Xperity is endemic, and it's not going
04:14away.
04:14So according to the complainant, they say they moved from a previous electronic health record
04:21system to Xperity, and this was the worst decision that they ever made, quote unquote.
04:28It has been 12 months, and the revenue cycle management and billing team has been extremely
04:34negligent.
04:36They were submitting claims to insurance payers and didn't even realize that the claims weren't
04:41going through until the complainant and client of Xperity raised a concern and asked why they
04:49weren't receiving payments from the insurance payers.
04:52The complainant mentions they had over 700, that's 7-0-0, outstanding invoices for the
05:0212 months that they had not been following up on.
05:06And by the time they, that's Xperity, began to investigate what was going on, the complainant
05:13realized there were so many billing errors that their team had made.
05:18And Xperity is accused with giving an excuse that there was a software malfunction in submitting
05:26these claims.
05:27The complainant doesn't buy Xperity's reasoning.
05:31I have to say, in my own experience as a patient, Xperity would not review and correct
05:38the errors that the doctor had made looking at my injuries.
05:42So you got two examples here.
05:45Again, if you do business with Xperity, or you're thinking about doing business with Xperity,
05:51think again and just go somewhere else.
05:55Because no company that operates in this fashion should be allowed to do business anywhere and
06:01make money, especially in the United States.
06:04This Better Business Bureau complainant says it took 12 months to get this issue recognized.
06:11It says the billing team overlooked so many services that this company provided that they
06:18just billed as a zero charge when these are services that cost the client thousands of dollars.
06:24They didn't care to bill the services correctly.
06:26They just put a zero charge next to them.
06:30So it looks like there's some incorrect information involving insurance companies going on.
06:36The client says they have suffered a significant loss of revenue because of all the billing errors
06:41and gross negligence of the revenue cycle management and billing team.
06:45And they say here, quote, I will never recommend any practice to use them for billing services, unquote.
06:53All right.
06:53So in my own case, April 2024, and my own issues were never resolved.
07:01I contacted the CEO of Xperity.
07:05You can go hear those phone calls at the video channel.
07:07Dr. David Stern, MD.
07:10That call was never returned.
07:12The AFC, American Family Care Urgent Care Clinic, where I had the x-ray done,
07:18I tried to contact them with getting Xperity to make their errors right, and they reneged on that.
07:27They would not correct these issues.
07:29But interestingly, they know what happened to me, and I believe they still have a partnership with Xperity.
07:37So if you go to AFC Urgent Care and had a feeling you got a wrong diagnosis,
07:45you might want to go back and look at your records also.
07:47I took my issues to the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners and filed complaints regarding these issues.
07:56They would not help me get this matter corrected.
07:59My complaints were thrown out.
08:01They're lazy.
08:02I found out a state of Alabama licensed medical doctor, Christopher Blake Thomas, MD,
08:08who is supposed to be supervising this x-ray in my examination by Nurse Kimberly Kelly.
08:16This doctor was answering the telephone at an AFC, American Family Care Urgent Care,
08:24using a false name, claiming he was an office manager,
08:28and not revealing the fact that he was, in fact, a doctor.
08:32Thereof.
08:32Thereof.
