Review of CHI St. Luke's Health Memorial...

Here is my opinion, I was treated well by the staff and doctors and all places can be slow but I felt like they did care about me, which is awesome. What I can not stand and why I have it one star is that they have no compassion when it comes to getting their money. I have been blessed to only been to ER a couple of times in last three years. In all of them I have received a high bill even though I have insurance. I have made calls and three have come up with some discount so I could pay them back as I pay my bills. Not one was a Christian based service but all had compassion and worked with me with a good discount. Now come to the Christian one and the only option is to pay every penny but they will let you pay over months. Although they give insurance companies discounts on what they have to pay not the patient. Will I pay, of course, will I avoid them at all cost, yes I will.

Well here is an update, i made the call like suggested and unless i fill out paperwork and apply for help they will not help me. Was advised the reason they can not work directly with me is that the discount is given to the insurance company, who already gets a huge payment monthly from me. I would suggest maybe letting the person receive some discount as well and not the business. I am not poor but I have bills and live paycheck to paycheck just like many others. Just wasted my time again getting same response. Do not worry i will pay you every penny I owe as i always pay my bills but trust me unless i am unconscious and an ambulance drives me there i will not be back. I will go to a for profit only organization who will at least bless me at the end.
