They filed the following to the above Rip-Off Report: Their email: [email protected] Their name: Adolph Their relationship to the company: Owner Rebuttal: Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I checked myself into the Bronson hospital, Kalamazoo, MI, 8-6-01. All I wanted (and needed) was a couple bags of intravenous saline solution to correct severe dehydration. I was there less than three hours. As soon as they found out I was on Medicare with good supplemental coverage, just about every physician on duty stopped in to see me so a 'consultation fee' could be assessed. Bottom line, my two bags of saline solution cost over $900.00 by the time the 'tests they deemed necessary' were performed. All of this in a period of about 2 1/2 hours, then I drove the rest of the way home. And people wonder why the Medicare system is in trouble and health insurance is so high. This stop presented no out-of-pocket expense on my part, but I still hate to see a bill generated that they knew d**n well they'd never get out of me. (If I were paying)....Can you spell G-O-U-G-E ?
