The Care was Good, but they suck the life out of their patients with billing.
When we go to a nonprofit hospital, we pay our facility bill, and then usually we have a follow-up bill, and typically these both equal $200 with our insurance.
However, this is obviously a private hospital that is for-profit, as they continue to bill us for everything possible, even after accepting a ton of money for my insurance company. I kid you not, I’m getting a new bill each week, and the total has been $1000 out of my pocket, in addition to the thousands that they have gotten for my insurance.
Other hospitals that have gone to that were nonprofit, took the facility fee, and we received a bill later, but it was nothing like what has happened here at Trident/ Summerville Medical Center.
I’m literally going to go broke because they are greedy, they seriously need to consider accepting insurance money, and then writing off the balance as I will never go here again.
Summerville Medical Center/Trident medical facilities is the perfect example of what is wrong with our healthcare system.
