This policy already started. My husband, 63, had an appointment on May 2nd. The Clinic insisted he didn't have insurance, even though we provided a copy of the front and back of the insurance card previously. We had to pay $898 so he could see his doctor. His insurance policy paid everything except $228. We contacted the Ombudsman's office and the financial assistance office. They have yet to refund the money or acknowledge
their mistake. It's not right on any level.
Luanne supported: Cleveland Clinic: Invest in Accessible Payment Programs, Not Mandatory Copayments"While online petitions sadly don't do much, what I can say is I stopped taking most of my meds because of medical debt. So now having to pay a copay is ridiculous. So now I can't even see my doctor. And I have a few doctors. My dad has 22 doctors that he sees mutiple times a month.
As of this comment, CC has updated their policy, but even with the new terms, I am still forced to pay it at "or else". So what then? I still can't afford it. And you make $1000 for every doctor visit from my insurance. You don't need me $60.
M supported: Cleveland Clinic: Invest in Accessible Payment Programs, Not Mandatory Copayments"Mental health facilities should focus on helping patients heal/feel better. Keeping them in rooms all day and treating them like criminals is not a good way to help those suffering with mental health conditions, especially in children/teen facilities
Lily supported: Give physciatric patients our rights back.You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
