This makes me angry. The care was wonderful, however, the bill received for a minor emergency visit is ABSURD! I understand hospital billing. I was expecting a few hundred dollars in bills as we visited for an x-ray nothing ended up broken and were there for aprox 1 hour total care for x-ray only. $2,000... that's right, thousands of dollars for an x-ray. I called to complain, I even reviewed the pricing listed on Akron's website, which by the way is very broadly listed FOR A REASON. We were charged for what they describe as level 3 emergency visit out of 5. I was given no leniency and told level 1$500 plus is when you walk in the door and receive no medicine or care....ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I was told they would submit a pricing dispute and might get a call....I guess I shouldn't hold my breath on that one. I am disgusted. Cue the auto response from Akron below "Please reach out to a customer care rep for help!" ....I did, YOU DON'T CARE! Disgusted. UPDATE After multiple calls to customer service it was decided by Akron Children's no changes will be made to this billing complaint. Their decision to charge $1,321.00 service fee was justified by "checking vitals once" and "Room" for which we sat and waited to be told nothing further was necessary for 30 minutes. This is in addition to the $591.75 charged for actual services rendered x-ray/radiology, professional services for which I am not taking issue. I will be fling a complaint with the Ohio Attorney General and BBB. I suggest anyone else reading this in the same situation to do the same. We will only make change for our community by bringing facts to light and holding companies responsible.
Great experience! The nurses and doctor were kind and thorough. They asked questions and listed and were happy to get us seen and taken care of promptly. I will happily go here again. We waited for maybe 10 minutes or less before being taken back to a room.
I'm sorry, is ACH suddenly a private religious hospital? Since when do you test all girls for pregnancy coming into the ER?? We were literally told exactly that! Been coming here with my daughters for YEARS that was NOT a policy before!! Told them no and they told us to go somewhere else!! Had to argue with multiple staff before they finally agreed to see my daughter. The nurse originally lied also saying it was just a test for urinary tract infection...admitted what it was after I questioned it like 4 times. We arent even here for that, is our insurance covering extra random tests? We are not coming back here.
HORRIBLE!!! Made up lies about my husband and the one nurse named Deb always had something rude to say about him when he didn't even do nothing wrong. He had to run home one night to grab me and our son a few things and she questioned him about it like it's her business so I nicely asked her to stop making comments about my husband and she called me sensitive.
Have to give atleast one star I wouldn't!!! Sat here 4 hours they let a positive covid patient sit out with ALL other patients smfh I wonder why it's spreading so badd !! Didn't clean a thing in the whole 4 hours we sat there to be seen 2 minutes literally and discharged !!! These hospitals are letting the covid spread they don't care about sanitizing anything didn't clean one thing not one seat in 4 hours and had a covid positive patient around all the other kids !!
The dr was great with my 2 year old son who was very sick but as far as the nurses that night i was very disappointed with. As me and my 2 year old son sat and waited for results to come back the nurses was outside the door coming in to get blood work and i over heard them talking about how big my 2 year old was not knowing why he was so over weight the continued to laugh about it not thinking i heard them .. He has medical issues and they are trying to figure out why he is so big.. I usually always deal with boardman or akron but i will now travel to akron so my son is not made fun of ..
Go figure. Another misdiagnosis at this POS hospital with POS doctors. Took son here due to extreme exhaustion, nauseas, throwing up, not feeling good, weight loss. Dr Edward Beatty spent about 2 minutes with him tested him for covid and sent him home with Zofran. Covid is not the only thing possible people. Fast forward 2 1/2 weeks, we were ADMITTED IN AKRON FOR A DIAGNOSIS OF TYPE 1 DIABETES. DR BEATTY YOU ARE A COMPLETE A$$HOLE.
Absolutely horrible care. Won't do anything for your children. Just want to get your money without doing anything.
The lady at the entrance standing with the police was rude and unprofessional. Everyone else was great
