      I was admitted to Grandview on July the 1st for what was believed to be another heart attack but turned out to be complications from a artiralgram from a prior heart attack just 2 months earlier. I was released on the 3rd and on the 4th I was back in the ** with severe bruising from the procedure. I was being given a unknown course of pain medicine while in the hospital for that reason. I explained to the doctor I was just released .a.nd if he could check my file and see what I was given and prescribe me a small amount till I saw my cardiologist in a couple weeks. The ** immediately refused and said we are not a pain management facility and if I wanted him to prescribe anything I had to go through a host of unnecessary test to rule out another heart attack when I had no symptoms of one. He did a very expensive MRI on my right arm and all kinds of blood work ect. At the conclusion he never wrote me a prescription for anything but found it appropriate to give me a shot of morphine and within 15 min I was being sent out the door without anyone even asking me if I was ok to drive and I almost had a accident because I could barely stay awake. I filed a complaint with patient advocacy and to this very day I still haven't got a response. Several other things have happen to since but I'm currently under the advice of an attorney and told not to discuss those issues yet. The people involved are ************, your head charge nurse in your ** who would only identify as **** and several of your nursing staff. This is your final opportunity to respond before I start litigation.

      My husband was admitted into Grandview medical center on February 12th , 2024 to the 12th floor of the hospital, he was admitted as with many times before with pneumonia at Grandview, we have never had any issues before until this last time, the entire staff on the 12th floor treated my husband like he was not a human, he was threatened by a nurse named *****, he fell three times trying to go to the bathroom because they refused to come to his aid when he called them, so he'd try to get up & go to the bathroom himself & would fall, the nurse ***** specifically told him that she would tie him down on all four of his limbs meaning his arms and legs so he would not get up and was told she would get to him when she could after she tied him down. He was very scared after that and refused to get up to go to the bathroom. He swelled up like a balloon after that he also ended up with a catheter. He would call for his medications sometimes he got it and sometimes he didn't. He was prescribed lasix for his swelling that they refused to give him ,therefore he swelled up like a balloon. They refused to clean the rooms / bathrooms/refuse to empty his urinals / his potty chair. When I would come I would end up doing everything that they would not do. I asked for his bed linens to be changed because he had not had his bed linens changed in 2 weeks and was told they would get to it when they could so on the next day they had not been changed so I went down to the nurses station to ask if someone could change his bed linens and I was handed the bed linens and was told that I could do it myself, therefore I changed his bedding myself. After 2 weeks of him being scared and him being treated like he just was not a human I asked for him to be moved to a different floor he is now on the 8th floor and he's being treated very good and everyone on the floor is kind and helpful! My husband actually felt his life was in danger on the 12th floor and by everyone on that floor but specifically the nurse *****! My husband now has a catheter to try & get some of the swelling down, it's working, however this wouldn't have happened if he'd been taking care of on the 12th floor by those nurses up there! We have had others complain about that floor as well, as well as nurses that said they'd never work that floor again! If I hadn't insisted him being moved he would probably be dead today!I think this should be investigated I have not heard anything else after I complained from anyone and I feel like there are other patients on that floor that could be in danger but probably won't complain because they're scared as well I think that this should be looked into as soon as possible before something happens to someone else. ********************* ************ ******************** feel free to contact me with any questions . I look forward to hearing from you!

      I was admitted to the *** in April of 2022. Once I was coherent, I refused any additional treatment. I was then told by the attending psychiatrist on duty that I must go to the behavioral health unit and if I did not agree to go to the behavioral health unit, she would have me court-ordered to go and threatened to get DHR involved to take custody of my child. I was discharged and involuntarily admitted to the behavioral health unit. I did not receive treatment while in the behavioral health unit, and ended up discharging myself via AMA due to not being treated and my requests to speak with a doctor multiple times being denied. Following my discharge, I was sent a bill for a remainder of a little over $5k that was still owed after insurance. I contacted Grandview by phone and requested an itemized statement, and there were numerous things on the statement that I refused and/or never received, but was being billed for from the *** and behavioral health unit. I contacted Grandview by live chat and spoke with agent **********, who assisted me with submitting a dispute. I was advised that I would be contacted by phone regarding my dispute. I never was. I contacted Grandview by live chat and phone several more times for an update regarding my dispute as I had not been contacted regarding the status of the dispute whatsoever. No one could ever give me a status regarding the dispute. I never received any follow-up phone calls that I requested numerous times. I never received any additional bills after that. Now, in April 2023, I was served by Grandview for the remaining $5k that I was being billed for in 2022. Grandview is taking me to trial in June 2023 regarding this matter. The things Grandview is taking me to trial for and the events leading up to this are completely unethical. My experience with Grandview has been the worst medical experience I have ever experienced in my life. I would like to have this matter resolved before the scheduled trial date.

      I was in Grandview for a Cholecystectomy in October. We registered and paid a portion to the registration attendant who told us that the amount we could pay was satisfactory and that she put a note in for someone to call us about payments. No one EVER contacted us so we tried multiple times to contact someone about it ourselves to no avail of getting through. We received a bill and made 3 payments on it totaling $800. The last payment we made was at the end of January and in February I received notice the bill was turned over to collections with no attempts to reach out before they did this by Grandview. I reached out via email in between payments about setting up a payment plan as well as calling and NEVER was contacted or reached a representative.

      A partial payment was made at the time of service, however the note made on the account stated the patient would contact the facility to make the monthly payment arrangements. I apologize for it being misunderstood. Since an **************** arrangement wasn't made the account did move to our internal collection group on 1/30/23. One letter was sent out and we have since received payment in full on 2/15/23. The patient's credit was not affected nor was any amount reported to any credit agency. Please advise what email address and phone number you were reaching out to and I will be happy to have that investigated and reported to our **************** Director at our ************** Center.

      On December 4th, my father presented to the ** for abdominal pain. On December 6th, 2022, he passed away. We went through the appropriate process with the funeral, who initiated the death certificate. The funeral home told us it could be up to 6 weeks to receive a death certificate, so we were prepared to be patient. As we began the probate process, the lawyer requested a copy of the death certificate. We did not have it. We contacted the funeral home at which time they told us that Grandview Hospital had not completed the medical certifier's portion of the death certificate application. We called Grandview. They did not have record of my father as a patient, even though his regular doctors were housed at Grandview. Finally, they "located the paperwork" and were "moving it to the top of the stack" to get it done. Two more weeks passed and it still was not completed. When we reached someone in records, they said they were waiting on the doctor's ********** A few days later, they promise that it will be completed that day and the document will be overnighted to the funeral home. It still was not. Calling the records department back, we learned that the doctor had signed the document but had failed to complete "a couple of boxes" that had to be filled out. They now state that they are at the mercy of the timing of the doctor. To my understanding, Alabama code section 22-9A-14 requires that this information is completed within 48 hours. Obviously, as we are nearing 6 weeks since his death, that code has not been followed.

      On 5/26/2022, I went in for my annual exam at ****************************************. Since then, I keep receiving the same bills from that appointment with no adjustments for insurance.When I received the bill with no adjustments for insurance, I called the customer support line listed on my insurance card. My insurance company informed me that the reason the bill was never adjusted for insurance is because the bill was never received; it was being sent to the wrong claims address. I called the ******** customer support line and informed them of this. The person I spoke to told me the bills would be resent to the correct claims address.A few months later, I once again receive the same bills with no adjustments for insurance. I again call the ******** customer support line, where the representative informed me that they could see a record of my last call and what was discussed. They informed me that the bills never got sent to the correct address as previously discussed, but they would be THIS time. I think that finally the billing issue is resolved.I am now in receipt of the same bill ***** # ***************** for a third time. Again, the bill has no adjustments for insurance, starting "incurred after terminated coverage." I had active insurance coverage when I received service, and I still have active health insurance. The reason this is showing as terminated coverage is because it is being sent to a claims address that has no record of my insurance -- which makes senses, as its the incorrect claims address.I do not know who else to contact to ensure that my health insurance is used for my medical care. No other medical provider has had this issue. It seems ******** is just hoping I give up on the pursuit to use my health insurance and pay full price.

      ****************** reached out to ****** by email on Nov. 29, ************************** th email message, ****************** also alerted us that she'd filed a complaint with the BBB.

      When reviewing ********************** account records -- we discovered that our business office did issue claims to the correct insurance billing address for ********************** health coverage plan -- however, the claims were not honored or considered for payment upon receipt. 

      As a follow-up to receiving the formal BBB complaint -- we did reach out to ****************** by telephone this afternoon to inform her of our receipt of her formal BBB complaint and to share with her details of our subsequent review.  

      During the telephone call with ******************,  we outlined our billing efforts and progress to this point.

      We also shared with ****************** during our call -- that we have recently asked our business office to provide the laboratory service claims back to her elected insurance plan via electronic claim billing. 

      Taking the measure to provide the claims electronically should alleviate any further delay with ********/Cigna confirming their acceptance of the claims for processing. 

      ****************** is aware that her accounts will be placed on hold at this time.  ****** received confirmation of this action from our business office earlier in the week. 

      ****************** mentioned a THANK YOU to us during the phone call for our follow-up with her.

      For almost a year, I have been trying to have a bill that Grandview keeps sending me corrected. After multiple contacts with Grandview, customer support, the lab, my insurance, and even a prior BBB complaint (that they asked me to close because they "had solved the problem"), I am still receiving the bill. My appointment was on 5/26/22. I keep receiving the bill with no adjustments for insurance. This is because Grandview has yet to file the claim with the correct insurance provider that I had the time of the appointment. As this appointment is for an annual visit, I am about to have my appointment for 2023 and yet still, Grandview has yet to figure out how to correctly file this bill from 2022. I will not let this BBB claim be resolved until I actually see the problem solved this time. Acct# ***********

I was taken down to the OR to get an angiogram 4 hours later I was brought back up to my room where my fiancé and I informed 2 nurses that I was experiencing numbness and slurring. Our concerns were brushed off. My fiance left around 10 and I still informed the nurses throughout the night about Mt symptoms and the fact I couldn't feel or move my left side. I was still ignores until morning shift when I stroke alert was called and I was rushed down to CT where it was confirmed I had had a stroke. We filed a complaint through patient advocate but we feel our complaints were not taken seriously. I have deficits and will not be sure how long these deficits will last

      RE: Elizabeth Malone
      Case # ********
      Grandview Visit Date: 12/28/21-1/14/22

      Dear Better Business Bureau:

      Thank you for sharing the concern of Case #********, in the email received on March 24, 2022. The concern has been previously investigated and addressed with the patient to include follow-up with the patient regarding the following:

      You reported to the nursing staff that you experienced numbness and slurring the evening you came back from surgery and you feel this concern was "brushed off" by the nursing staff. This concern you feel was ignored until the following morning after shifts changed and a stroke alert was called. You would like to know what action is being taken and an apology.

      Investigation was conducted with the following findings:
      1. On 1/6/22 at **** you reported your concerns to the patient advocate. On 1/7/22 an acknowledgement letter was sent outlining your concerns with a response to each concern. This was sent to the patient via certified mail to the address provided in the medical record. On 2/3/22 the patient advocate spoke to the patient and it was identified that the address provided in the medical record was incorrect and that the patient had not received the response letter. The patient was again in the hospital on 2/4/22, and the Patient Advocate hand delivered the letter to the patient. The letter outlined the findings and action taken regarding each findings.
      2. We always take concerns shared with us very seriously and the patient advocate along with documentation provided in the letter did provide for our apology for not meeting the patient's expectations.

      I went to Grandview Medical Center on January 7, 2022 for two scheduled MRI's. I was asked to pay my $233 Medicare deductable. I advised that I had already had two doctor's appointments on January 5, 2022 and a medical procedure on January 6, 2022 and that these providers were due for the deductable. The Grandview representative said Medicare indicated the deductable had not been paid. I told her the bill probably had not been submitted yet or either the system updated. Still, I was required to pay the deductable at that time if to proceed with the MRI. (I was in a lot of pain and could not put off MRI diagnostics.) Last week (Week of March 7, 2022) I received bills from the two doctor's seen on January 5, 2022 in the amount of $89.30 and $143.70, equal to $233, or the deductable amount. I called Grandview Billing Office on March 8th and again March 11th. They admitted owing the refund but insist it will take four to eight weeks to process. I told them I needed the money to pay the physicians actually due the money, as explained January 7th at the time of service. I offered to come to their business office for refund and was told that is not possible. One of the January 5, 2022 bills is shown as 30-89 days past due and the other bill is equally overdue. Late payment will refect negatively on my credit and could result in bills being sent for collection. I expect Grandview to abide by the same practices it demands of patients. I am owed $233 being held by Grandviwe. I request full refund of $233 no later than 12:00 pm CDT Tuesday, March 22, 2022. If refund by check or other negotiable instrument, said instrument should be readily payable and funds readily available. I have no documents from Grandview Hospital. I will provide bank transaction records reflecting payment of $233 to Grandview on January 7th and bills from the two physicians due payment of $233 in total for services on January 5, 2022. These documents will be sent separately. I have already submitted my complaint (within 30 minutes prior) but was unable to upload supporting documents from the device I was on. Please allow this submission to serve as an addendum to Claim Number ************************************. As referenced in the initial Complaint, documentation includes my Wells Fargo Bank transaction record reflecting the $233 payment to Grandview Medical Center on January 7, 2022, and bills from two physicians of $89.30 and $143.70, equal to $233, and Medicare Summary Notice reflecting that my $233 deductible for 2022 has been met.

      Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/03/16) */ Patient had radiology services 1/7/22 and Medicare eligibility response showed her part b deductible due of $233 which is not covered by her secondary insurance. We collected that amount. When Medicare processed the claim and paid Grandview on 1/27/22 they had taken the deductible from another provider. The patient was refunded $79.15 on 1/31 via her credit card, and when her secondary insurance paid the remaining balance she was refunded $153.85 on 3/10/22. Patient called on 3/8 and it was refunded 3/10, however the representative told her it could take 4-6 weeks. Patient called again on 3/9 as well. While the representative told the patient that it could take 4-6 weeks the refund was promptly handled after both her insurances paid the claim.

      I had surgery at Grandview on 11/4/21. I rec'd a bill after Thanksgiving for 249.79. Per billing statement, you can set up payment options and per their language "enroll in an affordable payment plan" if you need more time. Dec 21, go online setup the payment plan. No WHERE on the statement does it state you'll be reported to collections for failure to pay in full. When reading the back of the statement it states "Payment in full is required at the time of service from all patients who owe co-pays, coinsurance, have not met their deductible...." So, on Dec 23 I call to inquire what I didn't satisfy, leave a message about the bill and still have yet to receive a return phone call. Next Jan stmt drops, to my surprise I get 2, 1) states "This is your final notice" 2) states "Your account is now past due". I've setup a paymt plan and see it withdrawing from my acct via their online service. Jan 27 - call again. Leave a message AGAIN to now inquire about the status of my account and if I'm in collections although I have a payment plan and what outstanding debts did I not satisfy per the original services. No returned call. At 8:30, 2/21/22 - I receive a call from a collection agency. THE FIRST call I have received although I left several messages with Grandview. In her attempt to let me know this is a recorded line, I let her know how I felt about her calling, me being in collections, this being the first call I received and my concern with the billing. Also, remind you, my balance is now 149.87 and it's continuing on autopay. I need some explanation. Grandview should update their paymt notice to clearly state you'll be in collections for pymt arrangements, return phone calls on customer inquiries and follow up for explanation of charges. This is ridiculous to have a procedure and the billers make impossible to resolve. I've never seen anything like this before and wonder how many ppl this happens to. Just think if I didn't continue to receive paper stmts - no clue.

      Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/02/23) */ The patient set her payment arrangement up via the MEV portal in my secure bill on 12/20/2021, the payment plan did not transfer over, and does not show up on the payment plan activity report, which has been forwarded as an issue over to Customer Engagement Team for further investigation. We reviewed our system and showed where the patient's account was accessed by a CSR, we show the call was transferred from the ivr to a rep, and when the rep answered there was no patient on the line. This call only lasted 6 seconds and we have no records of the patient calling back in and speaking with anyone else. We have also checked the voicemail logs and don't show the patient on there either. We have contacted Pasi and they indicated the account is on hold and has not been reported to the patient's credit. We have also requested that the account be put in a monitored status due to the payment arrangement. Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2022/02/23) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) As of today, I received an email notification of a refund of my February payment and the payment plan is now canceled neither of which I initiated. So, I guess my next step is to call and inquire if I'm still permitted to participate in the payment plan and still an update on the charges in question with hopes they answer. I can also provide my call log showing when I called Grandview and email confirmations of the most recent notices received related to my account that i did not initiate. Business Response /* (4000, 10, 2022/02/25) */ The patient responsibility had been adjusted due to the system issues found when she had set up her payment plan.

Was given, no medicine, no referral and a misdiagnosis. His erroneous pronouncement adversely impacted future medical professionals' opinions of my injury.

      Business Response /* (1000, 7, 2021/11/09) */ It is regretful that a patient that I have seen is unhappy with the care he received. He seems to have taken issue with my "small talk" upon meeting him. That is, in fact, my way of starting an exam. The small talk usually puts people at ease if I can find some commonality with them. It is often rather traumatic being sent to a neurologist. The small talk also allows me to begin to observe any abnormal movements or tremors that the patient may have when distracted. Their mental status can be evaluated as can their body language. Stressors in their life etc can be ascertained during that time. Therefore that time is not wasteful but meaningful to my examination. It is also a fact that the radiologist had already read the scans mentioned as normal. It is also a fact that I did not get a chance to examine the very thing he complained about as he would not let me even touch his neck. I take every patient seriously and give all the "benefit of the doubt" as to their complaints. His demeanor was such that I suggested that it was aberrant. I would not have been honest by saying anything else in my note as these notes are medical records of a patient's health. Therefore a person's affect is a vital part. I am glad that he apparently received the help that he needed. My notes reflect my honest opinion of his condition at the time I saw him based on my training and 30+ years of experience. **** ******** ** Consumer Response /* (3000, 9, 2021/11/10) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) I contacted Grandview Neurology about my **** ******* ** visit over a year ago and never received a reply or return call. I paid $300 to see a specialist neurologist about a very serious (physical) head trauma based injury and received service I could obtain from any nurse or general practitioner. I was not seeking a psychological assessment per se. I had basilar skull damage and something in this wound physically damaged my brain tissue (see mri images from March, 2021 https://youtu.be/S2nzxArc_Zk). Time was of the essence in my situation. While he was rattling on about the most inane minutiae I had contemplated walking from this visit into the Grandview Hospital ER, my condition was that serious. **** ******* mentions where I produced CT & MRI images for his analysis which showed the pebble size piece of bone that broke off the underside of my skull, the hole in my skull and the wound in my upper neck where CSF fluid and infection etc. was growing. I believe a neurologist of *** ********* experience level should be able to note physical abnormalities in brain / skull images. The radiologist(s) he mentions did not note any injury or abnormality in the images. A good doctor should not throw his lot in blindly with a doctor who made an error. The fact is I was misdiagnosed and I told him that. But I showed him the images and asked for his own analysis. A good doctor should have pointed out serious in injuries in the imagery if another doctor missed them ********** obligation was to me his patient, not the other doctor(s)). ******* could offer nothing productive. I did not pay a specialist neurologist $300 to turn around and simply ask me "well what did the other doctor say it was?" and settle with that. That doesn't measure up in my book as a doctor doing his job after going to school for close to 10 years, in one of the highest paying professions in American society. ******* could not touch my neck for the same reason I can not turn my head easily even to this day (nov. 2021), my skull was broken. I was in pain & even trying to hold my head up on my shoulders for this visit was difficult. Please see the MRI and CT images along with 10+ hours documentation I did on my injury on my Youtube Channel ********************* The CT and MRI images I produced for ******* analysis should have been better than letting him touch my neck (and possibly causing more damage to my injury) but they were ignored. ********* explanation is selective in nature and not adequate to addressing the issue. And this also showed in my visit with him. My health is not a shell game. Business Response /* (4000, 11, 2021/11/12) */ We apologize that the person's perception of care and care expectations were not met.
