Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital
Oct 21, 2008 by Sherri
Overall Rating: 2

• Doctor and assistant nice and friendly.
• Very expensive band aid.

“September 2008 My 16 month old grandson was scratched in the face by a cat. The walk-in clinic sent us to ER at Helen Ellis. Four or five hours later a very nice friendly doctor and his assistant cleaned the scratch and put a band aid on it. The hospital charged $453.10. The doctor's bill for $285.00 came a month later. The total charge for this service $738.10. Since the grandson is not insured there is a 20% discount on doctor bill ($57.00)! So now total bill for thorough cleaning and band aid with no insurance $681.00. When I called to complain to the hospital about the charges I was told $453.10 is the basic charge for presenting yourself in the emergency room.”
