Emergency Room - Thieves in my eyes

by Steven Sheldon at Citysearch

I checked in to see a doctor at the Emergency Room.Asked if my Healthcare would cover this.Told" no problem sir". I had stomach pain. Hospital sent me for barrage of tests. My direct costs of the $10,000 ordeal was $3,000. Here is the kicker - diagnosed with " Constipation" . DOCTORS WERE NOT FROM THE HOSPITAL - No problem - you the consumer will unknowingly pay for the services of an outside doctor who has little,if any, experience in diagnostics.The only time you will find out is when you get a bill 6 months later from Freemont Emergency Services.When i asked the hospital why i was told "no problem sir" and then started receiving bills later. The answer was that "it is not the responsibility of the hospital to check healthcare" I paid the bill to avoid bad credit.I received a "Final Notice" Statement 6 months later from FREEMONT EMERGENCY SERVICES . Public be warned against this hospital.Better to go to Summerlin Hospital.
