Update hospital denying tx/Debbie

[Guest guest]

HI all, just got a letter today regarding the battle we have been having with

the hospital billing incorrectly and forcing me...defrauding me...by telling me

they could not bill Medicare without that form being signed, hospital sent me a

letter, telling me that my photopheresis tx for next Mon and Tue, I will need to

schedule at another facility. The story will be in this weeks local paper and

the tv news reporter that filmed my meeting with the hospital billing dept over

a year ago...where they kept insisting I sign that form..or they could not bill

Medicare.....he is running the story on the Monday evening news...I have also

let Mr. Ross of 20/20 know that I received the letter....In addition I have been

in contact with ARRP the Magazine....about doing a story, so this will not

happen to others....

It is all good, I will find another facility that can hopefully give me this

life saving treatment and further, I don't have to go to Indiana on Mon and Tues

now....After 3 yrs I am tired...but I know what happens when I don't get

it...the SD brings on the lung disease and then I start suffocating...ugh...hate

that...so I will get to work next week finding another facility to treat

me...nice huh...AND this hospital is a non-profit...but the DRs have the right

to not treat a patient AND the letter expressly stated that the hospital spoke

with my Drs and they agreed I should go elsewhere...

Hope everyone is doing well....Have a great weekend...stay warm if you live in

the Midwest!!
