      Complaint Type:
      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      My son had an ear tube removal surgery for both ears on June 6, 2023, at the Lovelace hospital located in Roswell N.M. The procedure itself and the medical staff did an excellent job and have no complaints at all from them. My complaint is that prior to the surgery I had been called to discuss the cost of the procedure and was informed that it would be $2783.46 for the procedure that I would have to pay out of pocket for. I asked for an itemized receipt to see what I would be charged for but they could not give me one. I was told that cost was to cover my $750.00 insurance deductible as well as the medical procedure itself. I specifically asked them if that was the total amount that I would have to pay and they said yes. I also called two other times to make sure and was told the same exact amount would be charged with what my insurance was going to cover and the deductible. I agreed to that amount. On the day of the surgery, I paid the $2783.46 and again was told that was the full amount. On July 2, 2023, I received a bill from Lovelace for $870.16. I called billing and a manager about it. They informed me that I had paid the amount for Lovelace on the day of the surgery, but the full total cost was really $2903.62 with the additional $120.16 for the added medical procedure which makes sense. My complaint is that Lovelace did not include my Deductible in the total cost when I paid the bill or called. Instead, they forgot to mention or didn't include it in the cost. So after they realized they had to pay the deductible they then were short on the actual bill. So they sent me the bill to cover it. They should have totaled the full procedure as well as the deductible and made me pay that on the day of the surgery. Also on my receipt it says the price could change depending on further tests or anything insurance wouldn't cover but not leaving out the deductible that needed to be accounted for and added to the total amount.

      I took my 88-year-old mother to Lovelace west side in *********** hospital emergency room because she was suffering from severe, shaking and tremors, she was totally delusional and hallucinating, and hadnt slept in days! We made four trips to the emergency room there and they couldnt find anything! On the fourth visit, we saw a doctor **************** who is extremely condescending and rude!!!! He told us that they had done all the tests they could, and then he said she needed to seek mental health services!!!! ?? the next day we went to a different hospital and they discovered she had a severe UTI infection!!!!! I could not believe that they could not figure this out at Lovelace *****************!!!! This doctor should be reprimanded for his unprofessional behavior and diagnosis!!!! This was the worst experience we have ever gone through at any hospital.!!! he is putting patients in danger with his diagnosis as this is a common occurrence with elderly females!!!! they seem to have ran every test imaginable, but didnt do a urine test!!!!!! I am furious with them and will never go there again, and Im telling all people in this area to avoid going to this place.! the nursing staff was nice to us but Dr. ************** was so rude and incompetent!!!! avoid this place at all costs, especially Dr. ******************** she was admitted into the hospital for three days due to the severity of her condition, at a different hospital chain, of course! is it any wonder that their emergency room was empty while the other emergency hospitals room was packed full???! I called the number to try and talk to a patient relations or complaint person and never got a call back after four calls.!!!! unless you have a Deathwish, I would avoid this place at all costs!! and I wonder how many thousands and thousands of dollars they charged my mothers insurance company and ******** for all the tests they ran with no results and no diagnosis!!!! Avoid this doctor and this place at all costs!! !!!!!!!!!
