| - I would like to give them a NO STAR!
This review is for those who are uninsured. Initially, I went to Walgreen's Clinic since my case was not severe. However, the NP thought it would be a good idea for me to go to ER (since she prob didn't want any responsibilities). She told me to go to UMC or St. Rose and of course she was like St. Rose has a fast track and there's no wait. I was more concerned about how much it was going to cost me. She then said oh St. Rose should be cheaper (NOT!!!) I should give that NP a NEGATIVE STAR!
Long story short"er":
There was a wait (slightly short than UMC Quickcare).
The front desk lady had no clue about the est. medical bill. I know they don't know how severe my case is and what procedures might be necessary but COME ON give me a dam min. estimate which is UHMMMM HELLO 250 for the visit and 250 to see the doctor. SO THERE YOU HAVE IT! AT THE BARE MINIMUM 500 TO "VISIT" THE ER WITH NO INSURANCE! IT DOES NOT TAKE A GENIUS OR A PSYCHIC TO FIGURE THIS OUT! She just kept telling me lame excuses like well you can pay 250 or not and you might not even have to pay that. WHAT?! She made no sense whatsoever.
My visit:
Sat on a bench in the hall way for 50 minutes. Worst part of the wait was that they were not that busy. (Description of how busy they were: two people before me were for minor things like flu/fever/cold symptoms and after me, a little boy broke his arm. Doctor sits with me for 2 minutes, reads my print out, and asks if I had any questions. I wait another 30 minutes before a nurse checks me out. They forgot that I was patiently waiting in the hallway... I had to constantly ask the nurse or a staff that passed by to find my nurse or doctor so I can get checked out (which was very irritating). She gives me a pill, I sign the discharge, and I pay 250 for the visit.
Verdict:
A month later I get a bill for around 250 for the Doctor who sat with me for 2 minutes to read the print out that I could have or the nurse could have read.
Week after receiving this bill (I thought that was it), I received another bill for 1700!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Minus the uninsured discount which made it 1500! ARE YOU SERIOUS! You charge me for a bed that I did not get to lay in and diagnosis which was already diagnosed by the NP and myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and WHY DID YOU NEVER MENTION THAT THE ONE PILL THAT YOU GAVE ME WAS OVER A 100!!!!!!!!! WHEN CLEARLY, I WAS HEADING TO THE PHARMACY TO GET THE EXACT SAME PILL FOR 20 BUCKS FOR 6 PILLS WITH NO INSURANCE!
Oh and mind you, if I have financial hardship, they have assistance program. But, you must first apply to Medicaid and if they reject you then they can help. YEAH, NO HELP.
