I was referred to UF Shands by my primary physician due to my condition "being out of her realm of experience". While setting up my appointment, I was told the hospital takes every BCBS plan except for the one I have. They took it last year but dropped them this year. I asked if I could pay cash to be seen. I was told they do not accept cash payment. I asked if I came in the ER and said I had no insurance, would I be seen then, to which again I was told NO. I understand this is a privately run hospital, but it's also a learning hospital. If the 9 specialists I've seen in my town can't figure my condition out and have all referred me to UF & Mayo, don't you think I'd be a perfect patient for a "teaching" hospital?? BTW....Mayo in Jacksonville told me the exact same thing. They won't take my insurance but would gladly charge me $5,000 for the consult. So now I don't know where else to turn while I waste away waiting for a doctor to practice their oath to "Do No Harm" & try to treat me
