Per our phone conversation on Monday, 9/18/2023, I spoke with the patient’s spouse who states that he was having difficulty reaching our Patient Accounts Department.
We discussed the outstanding bill of $720.00 for his wife who has passed.
Patient’s spouse states he spoke with a Patient Accounts rep. last week and sent her a copy of the death certificate and estate information.
I told patient’s spouse I would have that representative reach back out to discuss course of action based on documents he submitted.
Our representative contacted him that same day, 9/18/2023, and left a detailed phone message with her contact information but as of today 9/20/2023, she had not heard back from him.
The patient’s spouse had sent our representative a copy of the death certificate and documentation stating the estate was not settled yet and there may be monies to pay the bill which means that the bill cannot be written off.
I reached back out to spouse today and he stated that he did not get our representative’s message.
I offered to put him in touch with our financial counselor, offered a Charity Care Application to which he declined both.
He stated that his daughter is looking into getting him help through the county in NY state where he resides.
Spouse states he will make a payment arrangement with representative.
I told him we do not refuse any reasonable offer and to make it for an amount he knows he can pay and that will not create a hardship for him.
He was satisfied with this and I offered to transfer him to the Patient Accounts rep.
He said he preferred that she call him.
I told him I would have her reach back out.
I spoke with our rep. who said she would call him today.
Our rep. spoke with patient’s spouse today and he declined making a payment arrangement as he wanted to wait until after he spoke with his attorney tomorrow regarding the estate.
This is not what patient’s spouse had communicated to me 10 minutes prior to their phone call.
All has been documented – declined financial counseling/Charity Care Application as well as, declined payment arrangements.
I did tell patient’s spouse I would be following up with you to provide what our course of action was and the outcome.
Again, spouse had declined Charity Care Application and declined making a payment arrangement.
No additional action required on our end at this time.Initial Complaint
