Review of Centers for Medicare & Medicai...

I had heard all the bad stories about Centerpoint ...

I had heard all the bad stories about Centerpoint Hospital,but assumed the surgery I had in Sept.2016 was a procedure that they had been doing for quiet awhile and The Independence Womens clinic was very good.My mistake,two ureters damaged and a nicked bladder.They released me from the hospital with low uop and no urinalysis. After two calls to my Doctor I finally was sent for a test but they (Centerpoint) could not get ahold of my insurance to verify so was sent home.I had the test the next day. When the damage was discovered I was sent to a urologist with St.Lukes(not HCA).He sent me back to Centerpoint for an outpatient procedure(Nephrostomy).When I arrived they told me I had a $500 copay,I told her I have no copay on outpatient she said on this one you do,I ended up staying overnight(more money for them),they planned all along to keep me even before I was checked in.I ended up at KU Hospital 3 months later having a 7 hour reconstructive surgery.When they mess you up,you and your insurance pay to fix it.I will never place myself under their care again.
