FYI- Memorial Hermann Kingwood is way expensive!! Down by HEB in the back, it calls itself a "Convenient Care Center" but they are actually an emergency room and they charge emergency room prices. DH's chiropractor wanted him to have a simple x-ray of an ankle, we scheduled it a week ago, and the charge today was over $1000. We'll see if insurance will pay any of it as it wasn't an emergency.
Texasdad : Well that makes me wonder if there will be another emergency room bill for the radiologist to read it too.
QueenB : I've had x-rays done there twice. This is who did and billed the x-rays "Memorial Hermann Imaging Center at Convenient Care Center in Kingwood" it is not part of the emergency room. And yes mine were expensive my last ones were $4 ,700. But all covered my medicare and secondary insurance.

mellen : DH went without me so when he brought home the bill I called them. The lady told me it is an ER and that's why it's so high. I try to avoid places that say emergency room but this one didn't. It said exactly what your bill said, convenient care center. I kinda feel hoodwinked but I suppose it's my fault for not knowing. I'll pay the bills but I won't schedule anything there again. 
QueenB : I had a Dexa scan there which was 100% covered by Medicare and Plan F Supplement.
Kittle : Well that's good, so glad it was all covered for you! 😀 My 87 year-old mom has 100% coverage thru the old International Harvester company. She was one of the first women to work on the assembly line for the Scout so she got 100% insurance coverage for life.

QueenB : Yes! Dh had an Xray of his knee and it was that much! I know we pay for convenience, but really?
GiggleMugs QueenB : They can charge any amount they want but will only get paid the allowable per the insurance carrier contract. I don't even look at amounts until insurance has paid and the difference is written off.

QueenB : Yup, it took the Mrs. and I a bit of time to figure out exactly what that place was. It's easy to think it's a convenient care clinic but it's not. I can easily understand his confusion.
msuz : You have to ask because the names on the building don't always disclose. Ask before handling over your CC.

QueenB : My husband went there and has Medicare and supplement plan G. We paid his yearly deductible of 250 and everything else was covered the rest of the year.

QueenB : Sneaky, sneaky. I took a relative there and I must say they did a good job but I'm sure it was pricey.« Back to Chat
