I am rejecting this response because:
This is insanitySan Antonio Hospital's response is analogous to letting an armed thug go free because the victim gave up his wallet at gunpointTo reiterate: I was making timely and regular payments to the thugs at San Antonio Hospital, as well as the handful of 3rd party entities they split the bill up betweenSan Antonio Hospital claims they made several attempts to contact me to advise me that my regular payments were not sufficient for themIn fact San Antonio Hospital uses an automated dialer system to call and harass people on the phone with an outbound recording that is largely unintelligibleNo human being EVER attempted to contact me to state that my regular payments were not to there liking.Instead, San Antonio Hospital, without warning or adequate notice, threw my small balance due to an outside, aggressive collection firm that threatened me repeatedly with ruination of my credit score, if I did not immediately pay the full amount due, with usurious interest accruing daily.San Antonio Hospital has the unmitigated GALL to declare to the Revdex.com that I "settled" my case by "paying the amount in full". NO San Antonio Hospitalyou ugly, aggressive thugsI got you off my back by CHARGING the balance due, on a CREDIT CARD!!! I did this under extreme duress and THREATS by your hired collection goons

third party payer, was responsible. The balance due was then the patients responsibility. The actions taken on the part of San Antonio were appropriate as directed by her insurance.
This is in response to your letter dated 09/19/2017 requesting a formal response to the consumer's grievance regarding service issues and costs incurred.

Emergency Department on 08/19/2016 for evaluation or high blood pressure. We regret to have Mr. [redacted] dissatisfied with the services he received and felt our charges excessive, His concerns were fully evaluated by a multidisciplinary team at San Antonio Regional Hospital. The team found the care rendered and associated charges were appropriate for the patient's presenting symptoms and condition. We would like to assure you that our rates are within acceptable standards and competitive for similar services at comparable facilities in our area. After careful review of his account. we learned Mr. [redacted] did not provide health insurance information until 10/06/2016, After claims were submitted to the patient's insurance, we learned that the patient had a personal responsibility to pay $301. This amount is not based on the hospital's pricing; in fact, it is based on the patient's insurance coverage. Mr. [redacted] did not respond to our multiple attempts to reach him and resolve his account status. Subsequently, due to lack of communication from him, the account was transferred to an independent collection agency for further follow-up. On 09/18/2017, Mr. [redacted], called and expressed his dissatisfaction regarding his account being sent to collections. He was extremely upset and stated many obscene and profane things to our and collection agency's staff. Please be assured that we take all concerns reported to us very seriously, and we appreciate the opportunity to review our current practices to ensure we meet all applicable standards as required by law.
