1/5 margo b. 5 years ago on Google
For
my
vacation,
I
went
to
see
my
friend
who
lives
in
Las
Vegas
this
past
August.
On
August
26,
2018
I
visited
this
hospital's
emergency
room
late
at
night
for
a
minor
but
painful
finger
infection
on
my
right
hand.
We
were
returning
from
a
Lake
Mead
dinner
trip
and
I
thought
it
would
be
faster,
and
even
less
expensive,
to
be
seen
at
Bounder
City
Hospital
than
one
in
Las
Vegas.
This
was
such
a
mistake!
I
spent
about
37
minutes
in
the
emergency
room
where
everyone
was
very
nice
and
polite.
I
have
no
complaints
about
the
staff
or
the
doctor.
This
is
why
I
gave
them
a
2
star
rating
and
not
a
1
star.
After
the
doctor
spent
about
5
minutes
simply
looking
at
my
finger
she
told
me
to
continue
to
soak
it,
no
need
to
open
it
up
(at
the
time
there
was
no
fluid
build
up)
and
that
she
would
write
an
antibiotic
prescription.
So
far
everything
was
great.
When
it
was
time
to
check
out,
I
asked
how
much
it
would
be.
I
assumed
it
would
be
no
more
than
$500.
They
charged
me
$1121.00!!!!!!!
I
COULD
NOT
BELIEVE
IT!!!!
I
was
not
the
only
one
looking
surprised
but
I
will
not
mention
who
else
because
he/she
is
staff.
Did
I
mention
that
I
am
uninsured?
I
do
belong
to
a
program
that
reimburses
a
portion
of
the
fee
but
from
them
I
will
only
receive
$50.00.
When
I
told
my
friends
in
the
waiting
area
they
immediately
felt
I
was
"ripped
off."
Upon
my
return
home
I
had
to
go
to
an
Urgent
Care
in
Orlando.
While
there
I
was
asked
about
previous
treatment
and
so
I
told
some
of
the
medical
staff
about
my
bill
from
Boulder
City
Hospital.
I
wanted
to
get
opinions
of
professionals.
Everyone
looked
at
me
like
I
was
crazy
in
disbelief
of
the
outrageous
amount.
Everyone
I
have
spoken
to
(medical
and
lay)
agrees
that
the
amount
is
insane
for
the
injury,
time
and
care
I
received.
The
Urgent
Care
doctor
had
to
lance/cut
my
finger
to
drain
it
and
only
charged
me
$82.00!!!!!!
Everyone
knows
Urgent
Cares
are
high
but
after
hearing
my
story
and
seeing
my
paperwork
from
Boulder
City
he
had
mercy
on
me
thank
God.
I've
called
the
billing
department
and
was
told
it
would
be
reviewed
(this
was
a
very
nice
lady
I
spoke
to).
I
had
to
call
back
and
so
I
asked
for
an
itemization
of
my
charges
(this
was
a
very
crass
lady)
but
to
date
have
not
gotten
anything.
Perhaps
it's
on
the
way
since
it's
only
been
9
days???
I
am
writing
the
CEO
and
the
CFO
about
this
ridiculous
charge
and
will
make
a
formal
complaint
with
the
Nevada
State
Board
of
Medical
Examiners
if
they
are
not
willing
to
reduce
this
charge.
If
you
are
visiting
Las
Vegas
or
Boulder
City
do
not
go
to
their
hospital
unless
money
is
no
issue
or
it
is
a
dire
emergency.
One
would
do
better
just
going
to
a
Vegas
or
Clark
County
hospital
and
waiting
one's
turn;
you
will
probably
pay
less
money.
Update,
it's
9/18/18
I
still
haven't
received
an
itemized
bill.
