Monmouth Ocean Hospital Service Corp

Review: ON 6/3/2014 MY DAUGHTER WAS TRANSPORTED TO [redacted] AFTER HAVING A SEIZURE IN AN MD'S OFFICE IN SILVERTON. [redacted] AS WELL AS MONMOUTH OCEAN HOSPITAL REPSONDED. SHE WAS TRANSPORTED TO [redacted] BY [redacted]. THE PARAMEDIC FROM MONMOUTH OCEAN MADE THE DECISION TO RIDE ALONG. MONMOUTH OCEAN IS NOT IN MY INSURANCE NETWORK. THIS WAS NOT KNOWN TO ME AT THE TIME. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS NOW PAID THEM A TOTAL OF 1,103.28. THEY ARE BILLING ME A BALANCE OF 1,508.32 FOR A TRIP THAT WAS NOT EVEN NECESSARY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY DAUGHTER WAS FINE BY THE TIME THE PARAMEDICS ARRIVED AND COULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BY [redacted]. HER VITAL SIGNS WERE NORMAL AND SHE WAS TEXTING HER FRIEND BEFORE THE AMBULANCES ARRIVED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE SERVICE AND ASKED THAT THIS AMOUNT BE WRITTEN OFF. BEING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN PAID A VERY FAIR AMOUNT AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE DONE. THEY BILLED 2,300.00, I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICE AND THAT THEY SHOULD TAKE WHAT MY INSURANCE HAS PAID . INSTEAD OF TRYING TO GOUGE ME FOR THE OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT!
