HCA Healthcare Houston Medical Center charged my nurse:
$526.31 for a pregnancy test
$1,756.24 for a simple X-Ray
$1,389.15 for a visit by Dr Oluwatosin Aluko
No one in the ER discussed fees with her. My nurse did not give consent for a pregnancy test.
I hope CEO Robert Sabina sees this and reaches out to me to fix this ASAP. Next step is to file a complaint with Texas HHSC
HELLO! Since when has an ER ever discussed fees with patients?
Dr. Bowden,, Welcome to the world of ER charges. As a former urgent care owner, I’ve dealt with this kind of theft for nearly 40 years!! – B. Swift, DO
