My experience with the finance and scheduling departments at Cleveland Clinic has been abysmal…read more My surgeon scheduled my surgery at one CC in Stuart Fl for late November and I was told I was all set. Then I got a pre-surgery bill from CC that said I had to prepay $55,000 even though the procedure is covered by my insurance. When I inquired of the CC financial office, I was told that CC was not in network for my insurer, Aetna. I called Aetna who said that CC was in their network. I had CC and Aetna conference, and Aetna confirmed that CC was out of network. I called my insurance agent who researched and said that, because CC had acquired so many of the local hospitals in Florida, it was possible that the particular one my doctor chose had not yet been accepted. I took the agent's suggestion and asked my surgeon's office to check another CC hospital in the area and sure enough, that one was in network, so we re-scheduled the surgery. A few days later, I got another email from the finance office at CC saying that I had to prepay $44,000. While less than the previous amount, it still made no sense. I asked my surgeon's office to intervene and find out why they were asking me to prepay for a covered surgery. The surgeon's scheduler said that CC did not know why my insurance was not accepted but gave me a "patient advocate" phone number to call. I called the patient advocate number, and it was 15 minutes with the advocate before he realized that I was not in Ohio. He gave me a patient advocate number for Florida. The patient advocate in Florida quickly had an answer for me. I was being billed by CC for the surgery because they wouldn't know what Aetna's coverages were for 2025 until after January 1 (it was now December 19th). She said that If I called January 2, they would have a definitive answer for me regarding coverage for my surgery. Meanwhile, the CC scheduler called me and suggested that I keep the date of my surgery, January 10 along with the appointments for blood labs and pre-op on January 3rd and the medical clearance appointment on January 7. This way, she theorized, I wouldn't risk a long delay for the next available surgery date. At 9 am on January 2, I called the patient advocate and was given the finance department and the person said she had to do a little more checking into the coverages but would definitely call back that day. I reminded her that the call back was essential since my pre-op appointment was at 7:45 am the next morning and I did not want to keep that appointment unless I was assured that it was covered by my insurance. I didn't get the call, and it was approaching 4 pm so I called them back. After the annoying 10-minute hold, I was told that I needed to download my insurance card because the one they had showed an issue date that was too old. I asked if they could just check with Aetna to confirm that I was covered. They said they couldn't. At this point, it was time for me to pull the plug on Cleveland Clinic. I asked this person to cancel my surgery and all of my appointments. She said she would switch me to the scheduler who could take care of that. The recording told me which number to press which I did but it then hung up on me. I called again and informed the person that I wanted to cancel everything and told her in general terms it was because CC's bureaucracy was driving me loony. She apologized that I had such a bad experience and said she would cancel everything. A half hour later, the scheduler called me back and said the CC finance department said I couldn't cancel the surgery, only my doctor could. I don't know if it was deliberate, but by now, my doctor's office was closed so I had to leave a message and hope they cancelled it before the appointment so that the incompetents at CC finance don't send me a bill for missing the appointment. If they do, I plan to file in small claims court. Yelp won't let me give a no-star review so I gave one star so I could post this. It should have minus stars. Dan Hogan Stuart Florida

Cleveland Clinic - Dr. Ronald Raspberry…read more Everyone blames everyone else. No one takes responsibility. To the point that getting it right is no longer the point, but who did it wrong. Radiology says it was Dr. Raspberry, Dr. Raspberry's office doesn't answer the phone. This is my second experience with Cleveland Clinic's Radiology department. The first time they mislabeled an arm x-ray - they showed that my injured arm was right and not left. When I asked them to fix it, they said, well, surely they'll be able to figure out which was broken. - After several calls to the orthopedist and the x-ray department, they finally changed it. Today, I went for an appointment that was scheduled over a month ago for a ct scan with contrast. I looked at the instructions a few days ago and it said to prepay my deductible and don't eat. So, I followed the instructions. I even checked again last night. I went in today for the scan and was walked back to the imaging room where they told me they didn't have my previous records and that my doctor was supposed to tell me to get my own blue liquid to drink - and didn't. They knew this before I got left. Then, after 15 minutes of supplying them with records, blood tests, and previous doctor information through my cell phone, they sent me home without my ct scan. On top of this, I pre-admitted online. This is one of many poor experiences that I've had with doctors here and I've decided I'm going to find doctors outside of the area and definitely away from Cleveland Clinic. My husband called and asked for my $250 back and they agreed. Which is good, but it took too many calls to too many people to get it done. To top it ALL off - at 9 am today the instructions that the doctor's office was supposed to give me - magically popped up in mychart. This was after the time I arrived at the hospital for the procedure and is time-stamped as such. It's bad enough that the doctors and radiology department are negligent, but changing the records after the fact isn't honest.

I went home for the evening and Encompass called me to inform me they sent him back to Martin South after seeing my husband was not at all ready for rehab. Martin south called me to inform me he was in critical condition they were going to send him to Martin North critical care. After several hours he was sent. The next morning, I went to North he was in very good hands and was being well taken care of. Several days passed he was in and out of having a good day, they moved him out of critical care to shared room. They had him on heavy meds, oxygen etc., and he was not doing well. Hospice was refused again after we talked to them several times. I notice he was getting worse and difficulty taking all the needles, the meds, he told me in a lot of pain to stop all the poking and pain. The doctor said he was not responding to the care. I told my husband goodnight that day he said "goodbye" instead of goodnight. He went to sleep. Next morning he would not wake up, I knew he was in a coma, the doctor moved him back to private room and suggested hospice. I told him they had refused to take him, the doctor said they will now, he called them. At this point my family and I had said our goodbyes, I had 37 wonderful years of memories with the love of my life! Yes hospice came in, maybe now he is ready for them. (I have no respect for hospice). My husband passed that night. Martin North nurses and Doctors did everything they could do and made our family as comfortable as one could expect under the circumstances.
