Complaint / Review
Bayonet Point Hospital
Unfair charges

Went to ER with what turned out too be kidney stone, had blood, urine sample then CT scan (after stone passed, doctor knew this but lets have a look just too be sure) all well no problem go home. Then the bills started showing up, i have no ins. Blue coller worker, what should it cost for a trip to the ER? First $50 for blood and urine tests. Next bill $700 plus for "emergency physician" with a non insured discount dropping this bill too $433, great but then came a completly insane bill for $ 7009!!! Again blood and urine sample and ct scan... The bill had a "contractual adj." lowering it too only $4055 with an itemized list that had every procedure done twice with the ct scan at $3000 and $3355 each? What was this doctor thinking when he sent an uninsured man who he knew had only passed a kidney stone to a $6000 plus scan? I called accounting about bill and was given a phone# too see about setting up payments! Is this the normal price for healthcare? If so the average joe is doomed and will suffer by not seeking medical help early, I will be giving BAYONET POINT HOSPITAL a wide pass in the future.
