Business ProfileforPediatrix Medical Group

We had our baby 6 months ago and we got a bill from Pediatrix for $1700. This bill has no explanation of the charges and once asked, we were rudely talked to with no explanation. On the call, we mentioned that this bill was impossible for us to pay considering that only one person is working in our household. Instead of offering a better solution, we were threatened that this bill would be sent to collection if we didn't pay it.If I remember correctly, this doctor is charging us for simply laying eyes on our child while being in the hospital. He spent less than five minutes with us each day, and is charging an outrageous bill. The doctor who I saw all 9 months and delivered my baby only charged us $600. This simply shows that Pediatrix is out there to make a profit off of whoever they can get, and bill them outrageous and unjust amounts of money. Pediatrix is a predatory company that has no ethics at all. They were called mednax earlier but changed their name to pediatrix which is very similar to pediatrics, possibly to confuse mothers who are about to give birth. They also don't work with any insurance and is always out of network. Such scammers should not be allowed to touch babies, as they only care about money. They even have influenced corrupt politicians to make expensive hearing test mandatory which is predatory. A test that should cost 50$ is now charged 1000s.This is the last thing anyone who is about to have a baby should be worrying about. Parents should be burdened with outrageous bills while caring for their newborn. Beware of this company and stay far away from it!!!!!!
