Topic: RE: Program Fee
Janice, I made the statement that there were good nurses there. I know there is good and bad everywhere, but seems ARH has more than their share of bad and I am not speaking of nursing, lab, xray, etc. I am speaking of the chain as a whole and their doctors. I am just thankful that I do not work there now and my insurance is not tied to the hospital. I am also thankful that my sister's is not tied to the chain either.

Greetings all! I finally got around to posting an updated avatar pic. My daughter took this one today after she did my makeup for me. She suggested that I might want to change my pic here because the other one was taken several months ago.
I'm down 96 pounds and am starting to feel human again!

Hey lady, it is good to see you, how you doing? You still going to W and O? I will always say they are good surgeons but I just did not like that it took them so long to decide there was something wrong with my port.

Hazard is where my por****ured. I know the NP was new at the time and I know the type of training she received, because her second day on the job, in Lexington was my first follow up visit.
Of course you said in your hospital chain which means you are probably an employee of ARH, although I use to work for Harlan ARH many moons ago and have a sister that still does, there is no way i want to use an ARH facility for anything. I might have to one day but it will be because I was too sick to go anywhere else. I know they have some excellent employees, too, but I just prefer to not use ARH. Let me correct that I do not want to use the hospital for anything. I do see a doctor at Tri-City ARH clinic.

I had to pay a 500.00 program fee. I was okay with that because my followups were covered due to me using a facility in my hospital chain. Dr Weiss did my surgery. I knew up front follow ups were with a NP. I have been really pleased maybe that is because I haven't had any problems, but the NP and other staff at Hazard is really good to me.

I don't know if it still works this way with W and O but use to if you were self pay they gave you free fills for life, or until they found out you had other insurance and they could bill for an office visit. I know a person that was suppose to have free fills for life and they started billing her insurance for an office visit. But then they did not bill her the balance which is insurance fraud, I have been told, don't know for sure on the fraud, but I believe if you bill the insurance then you have to bill the patient the balance.
Honestly, free fills for life would not be enough to get me to go back to them.

I haven't dealt with him personally, but I've heard nothing but great things about him as a surgeon.

Very interesting conversations! Anyone had experience with Dr. Josh Steiner at St. Joe?
