A word of warning to anyone planning to use Wheaton Franciscan for any medical services, especially their Urgent Care facilities - They WILL overbill/scam you!
I have been dealing with these jackasses for months now. One thing to know about their Urgent Care (which is attached to the hospital) they will NOT tell you up front is 1. You will be billed at Emergency Room prices and 2. You will receive TWO separate bills: One from the doctor and one for the room itself. Even *after* I managed to get them to correct their over billing me for level 2 services when their auditors found it to be level 1 service, I still found their rates to be inappropriately HIGH! As in the adjusted bill is $190 for the room and the doctor wanted around $230 for seeing me for 10 minutes and not running any tests or anything. THIS IS NOTHING SHORT OF A SCAM!
Also if you question the bill at all for the doctors, expect to get INSULTING letters from a place called "Integrated Healthcare Business Solutions" in Franklin. They will lower the bill only a tiny amount because you're "poor" and say so in their letters. My questioning their fraudulent billing practices has nothing to do with how much "money" I have. This is about appropriate billing! The people at IHBS are beyond retarded.
Spread the word! The more people that know about this the better! AVOID FRANCISCAN WHEATON!
