DO NOT choose this clinic!
To whom it may concern;
I'd like to document my experience with Trident Primary Care. I became a patient at this clinic in December 2025. At that time and currently, I had/have United Healthcare Insurance. My health insurance plan has not changed since I became a patient. During my normal office visits, I was charged a $25 copay, which is the copay set by UHC. Today, March 12, 2026, I had a visit with my PCP and when I arrived to the clinic, I was told by Roderick (the owner of the clinic) that because I had a high deductible plan that I would have to pay $250, not my copay of $25 and that the previous front desk employee, Mackenzie, was fired due to not charging patients the full visit amount. Roderick also told me to call my insurance and that they would verify what he had told me. I stepped outside to call my insurance and validated that my cost for regular office visits are only supposed to be a $25 copay, because this appointment is covered by my insurance. When I returned to the clinic, with UHC on the phone, to let Roderick know that I am only supposed to be paying $25, he then informed me that while his clinic is in network with UHC, he has decided to stop accepting UHC insurance because UHC "never pays him". I then asked him why I was not informed that his office had stopped taking my insurance as soon as that decision was made, instead of when I arrived at my appointment, and he did not have an answer for me. I also let him speak to the UHC representative that I had on the phone, and they also verified that I should only be paying $25, not the full cost of the visit. I then asked Roderick if I could have my full medical records and his response was "it costs" and he refused to print everything out for me and said he will send my medical records once my new PCP puts in a request. I find this to be very unethical and misleading. I believe that Roderick was just trying to get money out of myself and possibly other patients that don't know any better, which is extremely treacherous. I will NEVER be back to this clinic.
