THIS HOSPITAL AND ITS PHYSICIANS CARE ONLY FOR MONEY. My husband went to the ER in 2010 and we do not really remember the exact reason and have since received a collections notice for $387. When I called the collection agency (N.A.R) and asked for an itemized copy of the bill, the only thing they sent me was a hand typed letter with the account number and original balance due. Shortly after receiving this we received a letter from a lawyer stating that we now owe $774. When I called them to inform them of our situation and the fact that my son had leukemia and that due to insurance purposes we are limited in the amount of our income and we cannot afford to pay the full amount. I was told that they cannot give me legal advice and that anything that needs to be done has to be done by me. WHAT???? I had no clue what this means so asked to speak to a supervisor who told me, AGAIN, that they do not give legal advice and there was nothing they could do I just have to pay the balance in full or go to court. I know if we go to court they will garnish my husbands wages which would put us in an even worse situation. I then had to call the collection agency back(N.A.R) to ask them if I could contact their clients directly and was told that it is with the attorney now and they could do nothing and that in fact the physicians services authorized legal action on our account. This is insane and very obvious that this whole Lutheran system only cares about money. THANKS ALOT PHYSICIANS SERVICES, LUTHERAN AND DR.J MICHAEL STACKPOOL FOR BEING GREEDY, MONEY HUNGRY, JERKS. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS HOSPITAL AND WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS IF POSSIBLE!
