      Subject: Response to Billing and Service Concerns

      Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding your family member's visit to our emergency room. We highly value feedback, as it helps us improve the care and services we provide. I appreciate your responses to my previous emails,where I aimed to understand and address your concerns.
      Before I sent my earlier communications, my team had not informed me that during your initial call to our facility, you expressed a preference not to speak with me or the billing department. Additionally, you mentioned that you planned to file complaints with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), the *****************, and on ****** reviews. I regret not having the opportunity to discuss your concerns directly with you prior to this. I truly believe that open communication can lead to better resolution.

      Regarding your family member's medical care, the complaint they presented with required diagnostic testing beyond what is typically available at an urgent care facility, which is why emergency room treatment was necessary. Your family member did sign a consent form acknowledging this and was treated by an emergency room physician and nurse. I understand you mentioned the duration of your visit and the tests performed during your stay as a potential source of concern,and I can confirm that your family member received nine laboratory tests and two diagnostic imaging tests that are not performed in an urgent care setting.  

      Regarding your billing concerns-as an emergency room facility, our charges align with those of other freestanding or hospital-based emergency rooms. We aim for transparency in our pricing, and our pricing list is available on our website. Please know that we do not upcharge; all services,tests, and radiology procedures are billed consistently based on the diagnosis and CPT codes. Additionally, we accept the insurance-allowed charges and adjust our claims accordingly. It seems that your final balance due was determined by your insurance plans required deductible and co-insurance, after we completed adjustments which were made based on your insurance provider's allowed amounts

      Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or if there's anything more we can assist you with.

      Sincerely,
      ***** *******, RN, BSN, MBA
      Facility Administrator
