On September 30 2010 had to go to the Hutchinson Hospital Emergency room, found out while there i had UPPER RESPITORY DISTRESS. I saw a lung doctor for about 5 minutes, then was given prescriptions and was discharged.

NOW here come the fun: yeah right! Two years later I was seen by my primary care doctor, (i am on state assisted medical called KanCare ie: medicaid) I was refered to the Hutchinson Clinic to see a neurologist for damaged nerves in the right arm, (oh it was worse than even than I could imagine ) i was to see this neurologist since I have NEVER been to the cllinic before i was a NEW patient, so I had to go through this lottery procedure just to see a doctor?

Because I told this patient coordinator just to pick out a neurologist, she went all attitude on me so I went to the Administrative offices to file a complaint, that lady sent me to a RISK COORDINATOR, huh??? so i talked to her, then that lady sent me to BILLING, here is the scary part. you all ready?

When I arrived in PATIENT BILLING in the basement was told that I OWED them (Hutch Clinic) $1800 for my ER visit in 2010 Sept 30, huh??? this lady told me that I would not be seen by ANY DOCTOR until this bill, and a 1987 bill for $90 is paid, the date on the 1987 bill was 11-11-1987; well i was in the ER at St. Joseph Hospital, 90 miles away from Hutchinson, for a broken foot.

I have tried and tried even with attorneys not willing to help me, to get this resolved.  but now I have to go out of town for specialized care such as my rectal cancers, my heart problems, and the surgery for my neck wheere I now have spinal muscular atrophy.

Now how can this clinic say that I owe them from a ER visit unless there is a contractural duty, but that duty cannot be pawned on to me since i am not in the position to negotate any part of the obligations under that contract. I would be a 3rd party an not allowed in kansas, nor allowed under medicaid billling.

I have contact the Kansas Attorney General consumer fraud since there is no such an office here in the reno county attorney's office, was told that they cannot do anything for me

WILL PUBLISH UPDATES AS I GET THEM.

post the docket numbr so we can all follow this case..

 

By the way something else you're wrong about. In your "final" post you state that you reread your posts and did NOT call names, and yet in your second post you wrote "your argements fail you have to be a retarded demoncract for sure i see your type all the time". If this is youdefinition of not calling names, you need a refresher in english. Also your sign in is "old rabbi" and you should reflect if tis is the proper way for you to treat people only because they have a differet view than you.

SHALOM SHABBAT

THIS SHALL BE THE LAST TIME THAT I ACTUALLY RESPOND BECAUSE THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL MEDICAID ENFORCMENT UNIT AND THE OIG OF THE OFFICE OF MEDICARE MEDICAID HAS TAKEN THIS CASE AND HUTCH CLINIC WILL BE PUNISHED AS BY STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS

HAVE A MERRY DAY AND A BETTER ONE LATER

Wow, I must have hit a nerve...

POSTED: Friday, February 06, 2015

Again, Medicare/Medicaid does NOT pay the entire bill. That leaves the patient (YOU) responsible for what is not covered. If you don't pay the hospital, they CAN use a 3rd party debt collector to get their money.

If you want to claim I don't have enough particulars to respond to your posts then you would have to blame yourself for not giving enough particulars. This is a public forum and anyone can post/respond on it. It's said that there's usually 3 sides to any story: your's; their's and the truth in the middle. You have given your side. I'm pointing out the truth and unfortunately it doesn't agree with your claims.

As far as your reference to Saul Alinsky tactics: one of his most famous is to call the people who disagree with you names. Don't try to refute the arguement, just call names and try to destroy their character. That has indeed happened on this thread but not by me. So are you Mr. Pot or Mr. Kettle????

Still missing the boat...

POSTED: Sunday, February 01, 2015

You continue to make claims that are not true. First, Medicade/Medicare does not pay for everything. Anything notcverd is the responsibility of the individual, in this instance YOU. You cntinue to try to disparage my character, a tactic used when someone can not refute the arguement against them. You state that you're only trying to inform people and yet don't want other (me) to be able to do the same thing in a public forum because my pinion is different that yours.

Lastly:  You claim that the bill presented to you was done illegally: what did the police say when you talk with them? What exactly has the Fraud Department of Kan Caid said when you talked to them?

WHY DO U POST WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW THE PARTICULARS

AUTHOR: the old rabbi - ()

POSTED: Friday, January 30, 2015

I FIND THESE COMMENTS OF YOURS much as the same as those from the left saul alinksy type of personality,  this company has billed me after the ER bill has been paid, under kansas contract law this company CANNOT do a third party billing, that is NOT ALLOWED under state law but as well under federal Medicaid laws.

Personalities such as yours do not operate under laws or facts, you do not want to learn, all you strive to do is to put others down, I will NOT allow such a personality as yours to interfere in my daily life or what I am trying to accomplish here.  You asked what I am attempting here, well to INFORM those others whom have read this posting to also know that they are not alone.  I have talked to other fixed income persons here in Hutchinson an all have told me horror stories of their visits to the hutchinson clinic.  The hutch clinic has an illegal medical monoply located here.  All the doctors that rotate in the ER work for the clinic, the doctors themselves are not bad persons just the corporate scheme is illegal.

Because...

POSTED: Thursday, January 29, 2015

it is a public forum. You are free to voice your opinion about the situation but everyone else that visits this site (including me) is free to voice their opinion about the situation. And in my opinion and experience what you are claiming is not how things work.

By the way, if you go back and re-read my first post you will see that I do NOT work for this company. It'd be kind of hard for me to commute. So you can keep voicing your opinion but don't get upset when someone questions your veracity.

WHY DO YOU EVEN POST HERE ??

AUTHOR: the old rabbi - ()

POSTED: Thursday, January 29, 2015

By the very language that you use you seem to be a internet troll.  The ENTIRE BILL OF MY ER VISIT OF 9-30-2010 WAS INDEED PAID BY MEDICAID so again you are so wrong. I contacted the Kansas Attorney Gen office of Medicaid fraud unit and the OIG for medicaid medicare fraud unit in St. Lousi Mo since Hutchinson Ks is in Region 7.

FYI: The doctor I saw in the ER works for the hutch clinic, (as you do also by your responses) and these doctors are on a rotation with the hospital. Dr. Mattar my heart doctor works for the hutchinson clinic and i cannot see him because i am barred banned prohibited to see any doctor at the hutchinson clinic.

So since you are so d**n pompous and ignorant of the actual facts or the ACTUAL LAWS concerning what i am trying to convey then I really would love to block you from even responding to this posting.

Finally, why are you even responding, to my posting. My reasons for the posting is to get the intel out there to see if there are others with similar positions to what happened to me. why are you even posting here, since you have nothing of value to even contribute to this post???

Typical...

AUTHOR: Striderq - ()

POSTED: Thursday, January 29, 2015

When you don't have a valid response just start calling names.

By the way, here's some facts for you:

Medicare/medicaid DON'T cover the entire bill, leaving the patient responsible for the balance. Just check for insurance policies to cover the gap.

No, your medical conditions have no relevance to the story. The only one(s) that might matter is/are the one(s) addressed in the ER visit.

If you did serve 20 years in the military (thank you for the service) and chose not to visit VA you would be covered by TriStar.

All of your assumptions about me were wrong, just like your belief that you don't owe the money.

NO SYMPATHY JUST THE FACTS

AUTHOR: the old rabbi - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, January 28, 2015

Well here is a good update got off the phone with the kansas attorney generals office of medicaid fraud investigator and they tell me the same thing that the consumer protection attorneys told me that hutch clinic cannot bill me for a er visit  that is was covered by medicaid yupp

 WOW there is no sympathy here just reporting the factws and when a corporation has an illegal MONOPLY of services then that needs to be reproted, as I have here.  My med history is important so the reader gets understanding of what is happening, If you actually had any idea of what the laws are in the particular arena then you would not even had made these arguments. your argements fail you have to be a retarded demoncract for sure i see your type all the time, I served thiis country for 20 yrs and because of the abuses by the va i refuse to go there

your statements do not even have the glimmer of truth, you are just a troll otherwise you would actually have asked questions rather you want to belittle me well i don't care for your opinion either

Question for you...

AUTHOR: Striderq - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, January 28, 2015

Since you admit you went to the ER, what exactly makes you think you're not responsible for the bill??? You signed a paper saying you would pay anything not covered by insurance.

By the way, the rest of your medical history is not pertinent to the story and just a try for sympathy.

 And NO I don't work for the ER.
