1 /5 Honduras Traveler: I have strong reasons to believe this hospital is double charging its patients.
A while back I got sent to get a holter monitor in me. It tooks 5 minutes and then they told me to not even return it to the hospital, they instead told me to ship it to some address in another state. That company then analyzed the results and sent the report back and charged for their services which we paid.
Then, the hospital had the gall to charge us for the same services and billed it to my insurance with the most generic comments on the bill. When I called and complained they told me their analysis was with my health records and I had to pick them up in person. I went in person to see what analysis they had done to charge for their services and all I found in my health records was the same one the out is state company had charged me for.
So yes, really, this hospital just decided to bill me for services they did not perform. It was clear to me that after complaining they wouldn’t withdraw the in my opinion fraudulent bill and they would probably send it to collections. Because I’m an honest citizen I was forced to pay due to avoid this outcome. I felt used and scammed.
