My son had broken his elbow and his school nurse ask us to take him to GBMC emergency medicine. So went there. They took some xrays and after some deliberations told us that they cant fixed it at GBMC and referred us to Johns Hopkins. All they did there were taking xrays and put an IV (which the nurse had some issue with). They called the Hopkins team and Hopkins took care after that with no glitch (thats why Hopkins is no 1 hospital). Now all said and done, I started to get bills from GBMC, from all over the places, their hospital billing, their physicians billing and what not. For just putting my son in the room for 1 hr and giving no care whatsoever GBMC billed my insurance thousands of dollors of which I end up paying some significant portion. The physician's practice billed us more than $2000 when the doc even didnt come to see us when we were there. I felt like I was being ripped off from every department of this hospital. I dont understand how they could bill so much money to my insurance while providing us no care whatsoever. Looks like thats their way of making most of their money. I was very disappointed wiih their behavior.
