Insurance Scam.. DO NOT LET THE EMERGENCY ROOM KNOW YOU HAVE INSURANCE!! They will offer you a 87% discount (mentioned multiple times I was sitting there along with an offer for charity services to pay the remaining 13%). Worst case you can check out the bill and see if you want to have it filed after the fact. My bill was $5,569. So 13% would have been $723.97 and they require you pay $0 up front.
Went for eye infection, hospital very quick to collect insurance information. Sat in waiting room for hours, never saw a doctor. This hospital billed insurance even though I went to a different hospital for treatment. It is unethical and wrong. Its one thing to bill for services rendered but not for sitting in a waiting area. I have notified my insurance company, this is about right and wrong.
Janna in the er was our nurse and she was super amazing. My son had a kidney stone and she made sure that he was more than taken care of. Hospitals need more caring nurses like her. I truly hope she is blessed because she blessed us with her award winning attitude.
Whitney is hilarious first of all and secondly very friendly and professional. This time she was assisted by another nurse by the name of Sara who was so very sweet and helpful. I can not say enough about Whitney and although I hope I won't need to visit the ER any time soon, I do hope in the event I do that i am able to have her look after me.
So insurance rate for their services = $1,882.96 (66% off list)
Never ever let them know you have insurance, far cheaper to take the uninsured rate on something simple. I'd go in uninsured either way and let them re-file after the fact. Wouldn't care but asked for the uninsured rate on what the insurance did not pay and was denied. So here's a hint to the rest of you, make them miss out on the insurance payment as well.
Now the insurance side. If your insurance is like mine you'd have a $200 up front fee. They "discounted it" to $160 if you pay up front. There is no discount you just have to pay it later. Ok well insurance paid them $845, and then my portion of it was $1,032.59. Well at least I paid $160 up front so now my bill is $872.59.
I broke my ankle in 2 places and dislocated it. My nurse in the ER, Maggie, was excellent!! She answered all of my questions and made me feel more comfortable. Then I saw the Nurse Practitioner, Jennifer, and she was equally as awesome as Maggie! She also answered all of my questions. I was 2 1/2 hours away from home when my accident happened and knew nothing about your medical center. I would highly recommend your medical center! Thanks again for a pleasant experience during my trying time.

Every time I am in the ER I get paired with a nurse by the name of Whitney. This time I came in with my mother who needed immediate medical attention..aka the British Souvenir lol.
