Trinity Health Is A Blood Sucker Destroying American Families By Over Charging For Services NOT Rendered And Failing To Provide Detail Billing To Patients !!!!!!
They Hide Behind Religion And Hippa !!!!
St Joseph Mercy (?) Of Oakland County Michigan Has Radio Ads Saying What A Wonderful And Careing Organization They Are But They Will Not Provide A DETAIL AUDIT TRAIL Of Their Charges. When They Are Challenged They Hide Behind HIPPA !!! A Patient's Only Choice Is To Hire A Lawyer. All Of Us In The Middle Class Working Minimum Wage Jobs Trying To Survive Have Plenty Of Money To Hire A Lawyer !!!
AGAIN - THEY ARE PHONEY BLOODSUCKERS !!!!!
Hello,
Please, please check out this absolute gem of an article:
http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/SavingandDebt/ManageDebt/HowToSurviveYourHospitalBills.aspx?f=25&MSPPError=-2147197912
If you're having trouble with one particular representative, ask for their supervisor and explain yourself calmly but firmly. And Trinity's hospitals all have a charity care policy which should offer a discount even if you're up to 4x the federal policy level. That's about 4x $15k per year of income. All hospitals tend to be opaque with their bills, but you are legally entitled to (as the article says):
An itemized copy of your bill.
A copy of your medical chart.
A copy of your pharmacy ledger. This shows the drugs you were given during your stay.
And, as the article says, these folks will refer you to someone who can help with analyzing the bill: http://www.billadvocates.com/
Your Response Is Ignorant AT BEST !!!!
If You Ask The Billing Personnel For An Audit Trail And Justification For Certain Charges They Will Respond By Telling You That They Have That Information But Cannot Release It To You Because Of HIPPA !!!!!
For Your Information The Bill Is Fully Paid And I Am Not In Need Of Any Condescending Help From The "Uppa Uppa" Class !!!
Please Note The Quote Below !!!
It Is A Wonderful Quote For The Newspapers But Hides The Mask Of ROBBER BARONS In Religious Clothing !!!
Hey Trinity Health How About Helping The Middle Class Instead Of Gouging Them !!!!
"Catholic health care is not exempt from what has been going on in society," said VeLois Bowers, senior vice president for diversity and inclusion at Trinity Health in Novi, Mich. Citing continued problems with discrimination in employment, education and other fields, she added, "We want to not believe it exists."
