FYI- Memorial Hermann Kingwood is way expensive!! Down by HEB in
The urgent care on WLHP by Kings Crossing xrayed my broken wrist and set me up with a cast for $260. It's amazing the difference in prices outThat's where there. They do a good job. The same doc has been there for years.
MissAmericanPie : That's where we go for most illnesses. But I when I needed an emergency room in January, the Memorial Herman Convenient Care was a blessing. They did a great job before transferring me to MH in The Woodlands. My Medicare Part A/B and Supplement F picked up the entire tab.
QueenB : DO protest that with your insurance! Save the appointment info you were sent; date, time, location. If it was on your computer, print it out. This Proves you were Not there for emergency services, or seen as a 'walk in'. I had to do this when another clinic charged high, and my insurance said I owed $900, as 'my part'. I settled on $400, Total, and had them write me an email that the charge would cover Any and All expenses that incurred with 'invoice # 24677'. I also wrote a check, and in the bottom left, wrote "paid In Full, invoice #24677". When they cashed the check, that constituted their accepting that as Full payment. They can be shady; you just have to lay down the facts, and explain that you Have documentation. Erghhh, sorry they did this to you all; it is very stressful.

We'll see if insurance will pay any of it as it wasn't an emergency.
QueenB : So it's part of Memorial Hermann? Yes...file it with your insurance. Then if/when they deny most of it, appeal it.
QueenB : That's great for your Mom. Companies of yesteryear provided incredible retirement packages that current companies don't provide. Employees were loyal and so were employers.
if your insurance only pays $2k of the $10k charge, who pays?
GiggleMugs : There might be a large billed amount, say the $10k you mentioned. It isn't that the insurance company will pay only the $2K, it's that the insurance company has a standardized negotiated amount of $2k for that particular service. The medical people have agreed to accept that amount; you pay your co-pay, if there is a co-pay, and that's the end of it.
I have had CT, CTA and MRI at Memorial Herman Convince Center. I called the Memorial Herman imaging appointment line. I did not go thru the ER and was only charged from imaging costs. The ER is separate from the imaging center. My co pay for an MRI is $30,00 and CT's $20, also for X-Rays. I have a really good Advantage Plan thru my husband, he retired from IBM.
Chrysanthemum : Hmmmm… I might have to call back over there and check again. It just doesn't seem right that they charged ER prices for a scheduled xray.
