Re:Billing

Re:Billing
I went to have a MRI and CAT scan done on 8-5-2016. I was charged 500 at the time of the scan. Then I got another bill for 130. So I questioned my provider of health care. I learn that they should have only billed me 130 period. So I called them, and asked why I have 130$ bill,when I paid 500. They then realized I have a credit now for the difference. I asked for a refund,they said well you have a bill from pain management (20$ max) pending we will refund that after the insurance covers it. I hated that idea,that was a month ago.....Guess what I got in the mail again.....the bill again for the 130 $ ....

My point is they LOVE TO OVER CHARGE people. Double and triple check your payments. Dont fall for the ooo we will give it to you later crap...its you money they are holding... :/

Re:Treatment
LIke many many many others that posted here. I went to the ER on 5/29/2016....After waiting many hours,I was given an xray and ingored. After about 3 hours,I and my mother hobbled out of there....only to be stopped by a nurse demanding I sigh a form saying leaving agest medical advice....I quickly shoot back,what advice? I havent been seen by a dr,just a nurse who took my info. Then a Dr comes over and informs me ,well we had 3 people that nearly died. Mind you I was waiting in a bay right by where he was on the computer a good 2 hours of my 3 there. LIED right to our faces ....it seemed slow,no emergancy calls,no one moving with haste ....Nurses station was in sight....THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT YOUR patience. Last note I did ask for a patient advocate during the wait,and was told none were available...no phone number for one was offered ,at this point is when we gave up..... so folks,this ooo tell us what we did wrong,i find hard to swallow.
