Medtexx Phlebotomy

Hey what do you know?

I just checked the Medtexx site and of the 9 Phlebotomy certification workshops offered throughout the country this weekend, so far 5 of them are being "rescheduled". All 9 of them may very well be cancelled and rescheduled at the last minute, but at this point only a little more than half of them have.

If you payed the huge fees for the 1-weekend course, then you were probably called no earlier than 5-7 days in advance to let you know that the hotel and flights that you already paid for... are your own loss because Medtexx is rescheduling for their own convenience. They will continue to reschedule you over and over. If you want to know more about how they work, just do a google search for their company name and the words "customer service" or search for the company name and "usu.edu" in your google search.

My Experience with Medtexx.com

My evaluation is that Medtexx might be a scam. The company may not have always been a scam, but they took my money and I have never seen them. They never gave me any service, training, product and refuse a refund. This is an age old type of scam.

I signed up for the medtexx phlebotomy certification weekend class and noticed that there were only a few certification trainings per year within a 1000 miles. I paid the $450 hefty price tag for the weekend training and then was not able to find many weekend times that would work during a 2 year period. I found 2 weekends during an entire 2 year span of time that would work for me. The real problem though was that medtexx canceled both of my weekend training sessions that I registered for, calling me just 5-10 days before each of the 2 weekend sessions!

On the Medtexx website, they claim to be a private medical company that offers medical certification. They are members of the Better Business Bureau of Florida, but if you look at their BBB report, there are several complaints from unhappy customers. They hide behind their website. But you can see more info on the company if you do a google search for "medtexx scam" or "medtexx customer service".

My attorney asked for a refund or at least a training and Medtexx informed me that their policies had changed and that I would have to pay again since my window of training had expired. They had never said anything in previous policies about expiring. They even faked a legal document from an attorney. The mispelled simple words made it obvious to see that it was fake when I opened the letter and read. What was really hilarious though was that the company was trying to send me legal mumbo jumbo in the postal mail...rather than just fixing the problem...granting a deserved service that was paid for or at least a refund.
