I don't qualify for the sliding scale due to my hourly income, but am recovering financially and temporarily uninsured. I spoke with a few admins who told me different prices for a visit. One told me I could request 20% off the bill if I paid all at once, another told me that wasn't the case. No consistency in answer. Today, I confirmed my appointment through text and was contacted again about my method of payment. I planned to get back with them during my lunch break. Before I could, they blew my phone up, and proceeded to call all of my emergency contacts as well. If I have no insurance, and don't qualify for any stipend, how else was I going to pay? What was the point of all that? I never indicated during our previous conversations that I was going to skip on paying. The providers they have are okay. I really enjoyed checking in with Sherise Stark. Idk if this is how they usually treat their uninsured patients, or if this was just the actions of an overzealous admin. If it's the latter, I suggest they make a doctor's appointment too. Very weird...
