The care is good. However, THEIR BILLING PROCEDURES GO BACK TO THE 1800's!!! INSTEAD OF RECEIVING A COMPLETE BILL IN A TIMELY FASHION TO EITHER YOU OR YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY, YOU GET BILLS 9 MONTHS, 11 MONTHS 12 MONTHS LATER, OR NEVER RECEIVING THEM AT ALL. You then receive phone calls telling you the ones you didn't receive are now in the hands of a collection agency.
Good Samaritan(?) how about giving all your Departments a code then each department can send their total bill to the head billing department where they total a complete and final bill!! This bill would then be sent to the Insurance Company where it would be paid. The patient could then receive ONE (1) bill and pay it or ask for a payment plan if need be!!
I know, this makes TOO MUCH SENSE!! STOP YOUR ARCHAIC(!) BILLING PROCEDURES AND ENTER THE 21ST CENTURY!! YOUR BILLING DEPARTMENT NEEDS A COMPLETE OVERHAUL!! I WILL NEVER, NEVER COME TO YOUR HOSPITAL AGAIN!!! WHETHER IT'S A HANG NAIL OR LIMB LOSS, I'D CRAWL OR THUMB TO THE NEXT NEAREST FACILITY THEN HAVE TO EVER (!) DEAL WITH YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
