Your husband (or one of you) didnt go to the desk and sit down and get checked in? Im just trying to get a handle on how the check-in system works there. Where did the clerk go? Why?
Just trying to get a handle on that hospital's procedure. Every time Ive ever checked in at a hospital or a doctor's office, the patients in the waiting room sign in and are called up to the desk one after another -- the desk where the computer is is central. If the clerk ever leaves the desk at all she's taking my insurance card with her to make a copy. They dont leave for any other purpose.
Did the clerk come to your husband to take his information?
Dont know what to tell they dont check in at desk like that here they send someone to your room
Yes they came to our room. We told them we have insurance. They said they would be back to get it to make a copy. They never came back
Checking is in a basic paper with your name and what the problem is date of birth. Thats it
Just for the record, Kennedy would have people his age diagnosed with terminal brain cancer sent home to die. He got surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments. That expensive medical treatment bought him one more year. Who are we to deny the rest of our elderly this small token of respect?
Not this untruth again!

Not before they tried their damnedest to get the money out of you, including threatening to ruin your credit rating.

Could you provide a link for that? I did a google search and couldn't find anything!
