DO NOT go to Portneuf Medical Center's emergency room. We have used Portneuf for years from doctor visits to major surgeries but we are now looking elsewhere. My husband had a procedure there and got an infection 2 days later. We went to the ER. They don't tell you that the doctor's won't participate with Blue Cross insurance. We waited for hours and the kept apologizing because the were so busy and had 2 life flights come in. We understood and were fine with the wait. Well they weren't sorry enough to not charge us during this time. We saw the Doctor for less that 10 minutes. $1700 bill seems outrageous.
