Description of service

I had to rush my son to the emergency room,and they charged me $100 for emergency service to the hospital.I have insurance for him,but wont they dont tell you is you have to have the money when you go.How do you have plan emergency?I ended up telling the front office lady that I dont have any money and to just bill me later.


Review of Service

The service i received for my son was terrible,because if I walk in to the emergency especially a child,they should be seen first.i understand its first come,but usually people with worst injuries or life threatining injuries,get treated first.we still had to wait,alon with other people their and I must have spent 4 hours there,just sitting and waiting,including waiting in the patient room for a doctor.


Tips

try to call the hospital before just getting up and going because alot of times they can expect you or tell you or advise you help over the phone.alot of times if you call an ambulance they charge you ,no matter what,and if they think you dont need to be transported they will tell you to wait and see if you or somebody can drive
