76-Year Old Charged $5 Co-Pay, During Heart Attack
 

:mad:

yep ... inappropriate :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

wtf? That is just low

unbelievable and sad

Not surprising. Even people with good coverage get treated like this.

Now there is an employee following corporate policy to the extreme.

I hate to bother you, but ...:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I think I might have raised myself up on my elbows just to tell her fuck you.

There's your 5 dollars:
fuck.
you.

Spend it wisely.

wow..she learnt that behviour somewhere..most likely her boss

they should have just dropped her in the street...5 bucks is big money

Silly Canuck question. What's a co-pay?

a nice little "fuck you" from the insurance company. :thumbsup

I've been to the emergency room twice in the last few months. The first time they got my co-pay ($50) while I was filling out the forms. The 2nd time they at least got me to a room before immediately sending in their billing person to ask me if I would prefer to pay by cash, check or charge. I told her I would prefer to be an illegal alien and get my treatment for free :)

My brother was with me the 2nd time and he flat out told her "Shouldn't a doctor be here before the bill collector in an emergency?". She was not amused.
