| - Incredibly overpriced, unfair billing practices.
I had a sore throat.
They looked at it and gave me a prescription. This happened twice in one month.
Now they're billing me $640.
That's about 3X the going rate at somewhere like the Minute Clinic. That's 3X what they charged per visit when I visited the same location a couple years ago, saw a _real doctor_, and had much more exotic treatments (for my daughter and allergies). And by the way, I have health insurance.
This is a ripoff.
They took my insurance, checked it out, and never told me any prices. They charged $260 for the visit and $45 for a strep throat wipe. I had to go twice in one month because of sore throats, and now I'm staring at a bill for $630.
My wife went to Minute Clinic and paid under $100 for a visit.
My daughter went to this location before Banner owned it and we paid $100 for a visit.
Banner Health bought out this place and jacked up the price. It costs triple what it used to.
No one told me that. No one told me what it would cost, or gave any indication that it would cost three times what it did just a year or two ago.
The staff was nice, the nurses were cool, and the billing people were fine. This is not about them. Banner Health bought this place, increased the prices unconscionably, and I'll never go there again. Yes, I'm mad... I feel they just cheated me out of hundreds of dollars. I pay for health insurance. I would have never gone here if they would have told me their prices.
Be careful about this place.
