Was admitted for 3 days. $33K hospital bill which I am sure was inflated & padded. No surgery. My insurance paid $32K plus.
Amita billing me for almost $800, because $32K is not enough for them. Outrageous!
Their billing Dept. Completely unwilling to work with me to pay it off. It was on their terms or NO terms. Absolutely zero compassion. Such pettiness & corporate greed. I do have other medical bills. But it was like talking to a brick wall. So I told them to send it to collections. Collections will at least negotiate. Amita will not.

My employer is on staff at ABMC.
You'd think there would be professional courtesy. Nope. And we refer ppl to ABMC all the time for labs & x-rays, etc. I will no longer do that. When big corporations take over, many times they destroy what used to be great. ABMC used to be a great hospital.
I will also mention, the bed sheets were so worn out, they were sheer. I had 2 holes in them & the " blanket" was more of a light throw...for a child. As was the kiddie bed they put me in. My visitors couldn't believe it. One inch over & I would've been on the floor. All for $33K.

But I will say, my nurses were wonderful ppl.
