Very irresponsible. Puts patients on serious meds and took them away without weening the patient off. Came out to the waiting room area and yelled at us for no reason in front of everyone. I believe he may have some anger issues. He does not care for his patients (most PA's don't and are horrible that I have encountered) someone NEEDS to reevaluate this man. He is no help in the medical field. He can't even return patient calls when he is suppose to. He is a disgrace to the medical field! I will report him every where I can until something is done!
unnecessary expenses due to unneeded medical procedures
I was seen in geizinger Wyoming Valley 5 times over the course of 3 months during 2015, I told them that I had a pain on the lower right side of the abdomen, they said they couldn't find anything on a simple exray and therefore would need to do a cat scan, however after that they just gave me 2 shots of morphine and gave me an ultrasound and started feeling up my testicles to see if anything wrong after I repeatedly told them the pain wasnt over there, now they want to charge me $20, 000 for having all those procedures preformed. I don't want to pay for last two procedures as they were unnecessary and no one should be able to feel up your testicles without your permission, thats sexual abuse! Plus they got me sign forms right after they gave me morphine which I don't think is legal as I was inebriated at that time, which means I was unaware of what I was signing.
mess up medication, lost my medical coverage, don't answer phone, lack of care for patient
went to (geisinger clinic, kulpmont, pa.) to get a (work assesment form) filled out.(doctor) who filled it out, only put me (diabled) for (4- month's), by doing so, he (doctor) made me lose my (medical coverage) with the (welfare office). which also means, i can (NO LONGER) get the (DAILY HEALTH) medication i need. to live a happy & healthy life. (geisinger)builds it "REPUTATION" on the words (WE CARE) does this look like (geisinger) cares!?
help is needed!
I have a copy of our concerns to be reviewed for more investigation. We have done whatever takes to resolve this issue but so far no reply. If someone had problems with Geisinger Hospital, please contact me!
billing department
I was in a bad car accident in '04, and spent 3 years of my life in and out of the hospital and physical rehab. I was in a large amount of medical debt, but finally got it under control around '06. Fast forward to 2012. I finally finished school, got a great job, and finally am up and on my feet. I get a letter in the mail not 2 weeks after graduating that Geisinger has a case against me from 2007 for unpaid bills that amount to $7000.00. I had 1 month to contact them and work something out or they would put a lien against me. I spent 3 and a half weeks attempting to contact their billing department, being passed around to diffferent personeel, and when I finally got aholf of someone to send me the bills in question they were incredibly rude. I got the bill in the mail, but on the bill they had sent me my insurance covered all but $500.00. I find it odd that they say they have had a case against me since '07 yet never once did I hear from them. My address did not change, and my family doctor is a Geisinger Clinic so my check-ups have to be in their system. Why wait so long if I do owe them money? And why charge me the full amount when the amount I supposably owe is only 500. Since then I have tried to contact them to get to the bottom of it, and yet again fail to get any answers. It is past the date I had to respond, and I even tried calling the collection agency lawyers to figure out what is happening. Geisinger Medical is one of the most poorly run, shady, downright despicable corporations in PA today. I was 18 at the time of my accident and am constantly hounded by them for things I already paid, they just forget to take out of their system. The amount of stress and emotional pain these people cause is not equal to the treatment they provide. I know nothing will ever be done because they have a stranglehold on North-Central PA, just venting. So be careful and KEEP EVERY SINGLE RECORD from these con-artists
billing money
Back in 2007 I was going through a divorce and moved back into my parents home. With my Geisinger health insurance I have a $500 deductible plus copays ect. So I asked to be put on a payment plan about $50 a month until payed off. I would send more if I could. So it took me one year to pay off this account. I have proof from my bank that I paid off thi...
