Review of Wesley Medical Center
What did they do for 1600.00
I went to Wesley's ER in Derby. It was a Saturday afternoon in February and for the last 36 hours I had been throwing up and had diarrhea they were not busy which was nice and I got to a treatment room almost immediately. I told my symptoms to the nurse or PA they left and after a while the doctor came in and told him the symptoms again. They drew blood and sent it to lab they got it back the doctor explained that I have a bacterial infection and basically it has to run its course. He didn't prescribe an antibiotic saying with the other meds I take it would be worse for me. He prescribed a pain reliever and signed me out.
I was there maybe 2 hours and saw the doctor a total of maybe 15 or 20 minutes.
This week 2 months later I receive first a bill from the doctor for 475.00 and a bill from the ER for 1612.00. This after they made over 4000 of insurance adjustments. I realize that ER are more expense than doctor visits but how can it cost that much when there was no really urgent care.
I would have talked to customer service or complaints but I had no luck finding a contact.
I have had serious surgeries at Wesley over the years and they haven't been this expensive
