I have been a patient at freoderdt for about 7 years now, and although the Care I receive is very good the billing practices are horrible. I have told the people who check me in numerous times in fact every time I go there that I have a workmans comp case and yet they bill Medicare every single time.that the bill isn't fully paid in one payment. I'm probly over the 2 million dollar amount by now having had 8 total knee replacements due to multiple infections.It's to the point that my credit is almost shot because of all of the bills that are not being paid by Medicare and are getting pushed out by them and not getting covered by workmans comp. It's very frustrating because I know for a fact workmans comp is one of the best payers the hospital gets when they have new patients. They typically pay better than most other insurance carriers do yet I get treated this way every single appointment. They continue to ask me the Medicare questions even after I tell them it's a comp case. They refused to listen. I've spoken to the billing department numerous times about this out of frustration and have gotten nowhere. Good luck to anybody that is dealing with workmans comp and Froederdt at the same time.
