Complete RIP OFF, no shame, no ethics

1

Wife was taken to Choice Emergency room with a rash that looked like poison ivy. She called while she was there and informed me that it was going to cost $700.00 to be seen there, I was really questioning that amount but she was already there as hardheaded as ever, then suddendly whatever it was that caused the rash was ultimately my fault, or was soon to be so if I insisted that she call our family doctor. So in spite of thinking that $701.00 to just see a doctor was way high I told her to go ahead and do whatever she needed. Anyway, NO blood testing, NO urine testing, NO pathological testing of any kind, all they did was prescibe antibiotics, and look at her rash. Oh yeah, no even a referral to an allergist or dermatologist, basically what they did for her she could have received from any doctor for around $100 to $200.00 dollars as they were no lab fees, no medication fees, no procedures of any kind. Today we received two bills from these crooks, one for about $2400.00 for the clinic and the other for nearly $1400.00 for the doctor. I called the clinic and asked what this was all about, that this bill is way out of line with the services rendered.........Folks, I am not kidding, the rude, condescending desk person said this " We are an emergency room, we can charge whatever we want" ....Folks she couldn't contain herself and began to laugh before hanging up. People, this "emergency room" is a pure rip off, it does not matter if you ask for the costs ahead of time as my wife did...once they have your information they will cram, jam or whatever any amount they feel like and then laugh in your face. We are going to the news media with this one, we are going to the Texas Attorney General Consumer Fraud Division, we are not taking this one laying down. I was upset at the $701.00 to just see a doctor, I am really really mad about these crooks doing what they are doing to people, lying, overcharging, and then laughing about it. Stay away, they will charge you if not as much, they will charge you more for way less than a regular hospital emergency room. These folks need to be prosecuted for fraud, THEY ARE FRAUDS. I guess they figure if you do not give in to their crooked inflated bills and pay them that they will simply just try to ruin your credit. These are not good folks, stay away.
