Yep Remember when it was going to be shut down and sold to West Florida but the deal fell though?Bob wrote:I just read Studer's bio. He's a former President of Baptist Hospital.
And let's not forget the CEO is paid 950,000$ a year to run the hospital. Folks, that's 18,000$ a WEEK! And she has a whole bevy of Department Directors who aren't being paid peanuts.Bob wrote:To really appreciate how unbelievable it is, let's put it in perspective.Joanimaroni wrote:It's unbelievable.
I own two vehicles. I paid 10 grand for a Toyota Prius and 4 grand for a Toyota Tundra.
Two very nice good running vehicles, a car and a truck, cost me $14,000.
This goddamn motherfucking cocksucking cunt licking little biopsy costs me over $20,000.
At a so-called "non-profit" hospital run by a fucking church that don't pay no goddamn taxes!
I have examined them at great lenght. I even went to billing. No where in the CPT manual is a code that begins with "E".Bob wrote:Chrissy,
If you really are going to examine all the statements, I accidentally left one out.
I included the first bill you see here for "anasthesia". But I failed to include the second "anasthesia" bill you see here.
So that means the anasthesia didn't cost $4350. The cost for anasthesia is actually $4350 plus $2100 equals $6450.
$6450 for anasthesia alone!!!!! You just can't make this shit up.
BUT, I failed to include this other one which is also for "anasthesia"...
Oh but it gets even worse. As you can see, the insurance company is only contributing $375 to that $4350 bill and goddamn nothing to the $2100 bill.
Here is the list of coverage my insurance policy provides me. Take note of the entry I've circled labeled "anasthesia".
What this obviously means is, even though this hospital and this surgeon knew I was using my Mega insurance because they were in my PPO network, THEY WENT OUTSIDE OF THE NETWORK FOR ANASTHESIA WHERE I HAD NO GODDAMN COVERAGE!!!
I swear on my mother's and father's graves that I am not pulling anything and that those are actual statements I received in the mail.Chrissy wrote:
I just wasted my lunch on this so if it is a bunch of shit your trying to pull off on someone may you rot in hell.
OK, here's what I will do. I will take the CPT book home tonight and give you the procedures for each code. Except the "E" codes. If you havnt called to Sacred yet I will call them and find out wtf those are.Bob wrote:I swear on my mother's and father's graves that I am not pulling anything and that those are actual statements I received in the mail.Chrissy wrote:

From what I can see after researching this there was no bidding, it was a non bid contracted awarded.Nekochan wrote:LOL, Bob.
About the problems...my son was over here the other day and he said that the government should have hired someone who knows how to handle lots of traffic--like Google--to set up the system. Of course, that job probably went to the lowest bidder...so it ends up costing taxpayers more than it would have it they had just hired someone who could get the job done right in the first place.

With Bob's luck they would probably add $5,000 to his bill.ppaca wrote:I talked with guy the other day who owed around $20,000 to SH and went in a made a deal for $5000 and they accepted.

Joanie, what do you think those E codes are?
Anyway, I would go to battle with sacred for bobs benefit, although im not there and he aggravates me sometimes, but he amuses me more than aggravates.
And yes, I have known of people negotiating cash pay out prices such as ppaca mentions. we all agree. bob go get em.
I do have a few other questions for bob though.
Bob, did they see reed Sternberg cells in your lymph node? and did the flow come back T or B cell.
I wish you well. I really do
First of all, thanks gals (I mean that word in the best way) for breaking the codes and all the other help you're giving me. I think as a team we can beat this shit and when we do the trophy is yours (I'll settle for hanging onto at least enough to eat on).Chrissy wrote:

Go get your pathology reports and your flow report please.Bob wrote:First of all, thanks gals (I mean that word in the best way) for breaking the codes and all the other help you're giving me.

But to answer your specific question, Chrissy, those bastiches never gave me any pathology reports and I was too stupid to ask for them. So I have no clue and not only that, I realize what a layman I am because those terms are like greek to me.
