  In March my family was treated as we were part of a 5 car pileup where I lost consciousness and had to be helped out of the car in prep to be moved by ambulance with my son to Chandler Regional. I was not checked thoroughly despite stating that the airbags deployed and I hit my head in the accident, that I was having trouble breathing, amongst other issues. We were released with no injury beyond my son having ***** on his neck-and when we received our billing and medical everything was wrong; that I drove myself, i didn't hit my head, my sons billing has yet to be released, the hospital refusing to work with my lawyer an having to get me involved 6 months later (for the hospital to claim no one ever reached out to them)- now I have submitted the billing and the patient amendment and **** in Amendments specifically is the worst to have to work with out of all of the incompetency's illustrated by a hospital. Absolutely no care in the world, no room for escalation, talks over people- and then when I asked to talk to billing she got huffy and hung up on me. When I called back asking to file a formal complaint against her, she put me on hold for over ten minutes and never came back to the line. The gross amount of negligence from a hospital is insane and beyond concerning. This is the only thing holding up our litigation and it is completely at the fault of chandler regional- for their lack of customer service, attention to detail and professionalism.

  I originally submitted a complaint due to a lack of response from chandler regional. Due to the support from BBB, the hospital did end up calling me. I asked for an itemized bill to be sent to me. I received paperwork to fill out. A few months later, I called chandler regional to discuss my bill and they told me it was at 0. My bill had gone to collections. I want an itemized bill because I am being charged almost the same amount three times (two days I was in triage, one time I actually had a baby). I would like the opportunity to debate my bill. One of those dates I was in triage and was charged **** for a bed. I am a new mom. I am willing to pay my bills but I do need a company that can work with me; especially postpartum. I called chandler regional again last week and they said they use a third party for bills but can connect me with an individual (financial counselors I think) within the hospital. I left a voice message and never heard back. It is not okay to send my bill to collections and not provide me an opportunity to understand why I am being billed so high for a 30 minute triage stay. If my bill can be explained to me, Id like the opportunity to work directly with the hospital and pay off my bill in one go. I asked if I can go in person, the woman on the line said they didnt have anyone at the hospital directly to talk too. How can I still receive an itemized bill now that it is in collections? This also ties into the importance of providing more time to moms postpartum when it comes to their bill. We can do better

  Thank you for reaching out and providing the details of the billing concerns.  The complainant was contacted and provided details of her accounts and balances.  She expressed satisfaction and had no further questions. Previous responses were sent to the complainant; however, the address provided was to her parents and they are away for lengthy times.  

  Thank you,

  I have made over payments on my daughters account and it doesnt show on billing end that I made any payments. When I called to resolve this they said it was put into a separate account and that they were going to transfer the funds and that it would take up to two weeks. Here I am 2 months later, still receiving statements and getting harassed.

However, I was in your hospital on March 16, 2017. I received a call for collection letters on about 6/16/2023 and today 6/27/2023. It is the first time to know the amount of charge is $143,005.00 for the stent implanted inside my heart. We are surprised that we have not heard from you about the unpaid after almost 6 years passing. You asked me to pay the amount of $509.52. The balance is long overdue, and we have had no explanations from the hospital since I complained after I left the hospital on the same day. Not only this but it is also considered an unbelievable collection. Several letters have been sent to complain.Since day one I left the hospital right away. I called and wrote a complaint and, I left a message with the hospital. I wrote a complaint regarding the staff and floor and another letter dated February **************************** your hospital. Indeed, I was at the hospital for 3 nights, however, I should leave the hospital the next day or maximum after two days. Meanwhile, due to negligence and not checking on the patient as usual as any patient in any hospital. I was there an extra day. The doctor or the chairman manages the floor while I am sleeping on the floor. at that time who was a Chinese oriental doctor who hand on his back all time. He never uses the stethoscope to check on them. Add to this, the floor is crowded with patients, after the operation there is no separate room for each patient. The beds were next to each other; there was no wall between each patient after the operation. Only a carton. When the patients visitors talk, I feel like Im at a party next to me. It is hard to sleep. Indeed, I was very exhausted. I feel I am not inside the hospital. Meanwhile, I thought they refused to send the bell due to my complaint because I was right at the hospital. I was there for an extra night. Indeed, I should leave the hospital early. The amount you're asked is not acceptable due to the following:1- Never respond to my complaint since day one.2- Never Hear about the amount of $143,005.00 before.3- Never heard from the hospital since 2018 until today.4- Negligent from the hospital and spending more nights there. 5- Collection letter now for $509.52 and the incident happened in 2017. This is not acceptable. 6- Never seen a statement from the hospital since March 16, 2017, with this amount of charge.I will go to court if this issue is still against me. My credit is very important to me. However, the hospital causes too much damage to me and my family due to this collection.Sincerely,*************************

  I began requesting an itemized statement for the medical bill I recieved from Dignity Health in Nov 2022 when I submitted the necessary forms. I also requested financial aid while waiting for the itemized statement in 2022. I have called the phone number on the Statement of Services bill statements I received multiple times *************). I called this number on 2/23/2022 and 3/24/2023 and agents confirmed they requested a statement. On 3/24 the agent stated their system had an issue and statements had not gone out but this issue was resolved and I should receive a statement shortly. The agent stated this would pause my account while I waited for the itemized statement to arrive. I have still never received an itemized statement that reflects what I am being billed for so that I can verify that I am being billed fairly for the medical service. As of 6/14/2023 I have a letter from ******* stating my account is in collections and they are collecting to collect a debt. I called ************ on 6/26/2023 and 6/27/2023 hoping to resolve the issue with the original source and a supervisor has been unavailable to speak with when I have asked for one. Meanwhile, agents state they do not have access to the information I am asking for and cannot help me. I am unclear on how to get this issue resolved now, and I believe it is legally required that the provider of medical care services provides an itemized statement that reflects what exactly I am being billed for before requiring payment and/or moving an account to a collections agency.
