Banner Payson Medical Center

Banners billing department is so messed up. They want you to do all the work between your insurance and them. My husband was put in the hosptial last year and Banner called my insurance to make sure that we were covered.They both agreed that we were. Now they are saying that they are not in network with our insurance under the multi plan. On the multi plan network web site Banner is listed that they are. I have called and givin the multi plan number to banners billing department and of course they have not called. I have to pay 2 payments one for me and one for my husband that is more then our house payment. Asked for help and I get told to call the insureance and have them pay. What is a person to do file bankruptcy?

I went to the ER with severe rectal bleeding, diarrhea and stomach pains. I was given a strong IV pain killer and sent home on pain pills. I came back to the ER a week later and the symptoms were much worse. I was passing out and had a high fever. About 4 hours later they sent my, by ambulance, to Banner Baywood where I received the most excellent care, and a diagnosis of Severe Ulcerative Colitis.

The E/R is absolutely horrible. The office staff are very unorganized. About 2.5 years ago I went in for spotting as I had just found out I was pregnant and this was my first pregnancy, I was scared I had a miscarriage. While I was waiting to get a room a nurse tried to draw my blood and completely messed up causing me to faint. I had asked for some water and was told no. Went to get an ultrasound and then was placed in a room after 2 hours. Was there for 4 hours total to get told by a very empathetic-less doctor that I had a miscarriage. Now have a healthy 2 year old. The place I went to a few days after to get a second opinion had found a heart beat instantly. When I get the bill in the mail there a re e so many error on it. I tried fighting it with banner who was less than accommodating. The OBGYN department is amazing and I wish they did not have to be a part of the horrible hospital because I would love to give them a 5 star review. They ladies are wonderful and very intuitive to your every needs. Unfortunately that was not my only bad experience with banner. I recently went to get tests done and the hospital couldn't seem to find any of the paperwork even though the lady who set up my appointment was able to see it. I was then forced to go down to the drs office to get the orders to give to them. They has staff working that is completely useless or rude. The useless staff as if you need any help then direct you back into the line you were just in. I try and avoid this place as much as possible and so do VERY many people I know. A lot of horror stories.

BANNER HEALTH IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST!!! THEY ALMOST KILLED MY HUSBAND TWICE. I ALSO SEEN A DOCTOR IN PINE, DR. RECTOR, AND SHE TOLD ME THE BILL WAS PAID IN FULL (I PAID AT TIME OF SERVICE). IT WAS $279 AND I PAID CASH. I THEN GET A BILL IN THE MAIL FOR ANOTHER $107.25. HOW CAN THIS BE? I GUESS THEY JUST CHARGE WHATEVER THEY WANT WHENEVER THEY WANT. I WAS TOLD BY CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO PAY TO AVOID BAD CREDIT. THIS IS THE WORST HEALTH CARE COMPANY EVER!!! THEY HIRE LESS THAN DOCTORS, UNDER STAFF ALL THEIR FACILITIES, DOUBLE CHARGE YOU, AND GIVE YOU TERRIBLE HEALTH CARE!!!
RUN!!! RUN VERY FAR FROM BANNER HEALTH...AND ANYTHING BANNER!!!
