If you can just drive down to Mary Greely in Ames. This hospital is at best an urgent care center. I wouldn't even call it that because I would have had better service at an urgent care center. I took my 2 month old in because he had a fever and they just told me to give him some tylenol. I took him the next day to McFarland clinic they admitted him over to Mary Greely hospital because he had an infection and need intravenous antibiotics. He had to stay for 3 days in the hospital.
Before that, Boone County Hospital ambulance picked me up because I was going into labor with my son. Six months later I get a call from collection that I have an outstanding bill from Boone County Hospital. I contacted the hospital and they stated that they didn't know where I live and they tried to send a bill. You picked me up in the ambulance at my house. How do you not know where I live? Besides the point, my insurance told them because they filed the bill late that they have to file that with their claims insurance because it has nothing to do with me. They still sent me to collections anyway. So I contacted the Boone County Hospital business office to tell them their error and they still trying to blame me for this because it was my fault they didn't file the claim with my insurance in a timely manner. My insurance was nice enough to pay the bill but they still have me in collections. My insurance had to chew the business office personnel which it just one person.
Boone County Hospital needs to be avoided at all possible. The doctors are not adequate and you be better off going to Ames.
