  My wife was released from your hospital yesterday after having been there since the 1st of August. I'm in the USA. Whenever I go to a hospital here they automatically bill my insurance who then issues them payment. Afterwards the hospital sends me a bill for any amounts that the insurance didn't cover.
  
  Before my wife was even admitted, Epworth demanded about a $3000 payment. Then while she was there they wanted an additional payment of almost $11,000 which I also paid. The email I received just stated it was for 9 nights medical bed fee. Epworth also wanted full payment made before she was to be discharged. But she was in a hurry to get home since she was now on oxygen and couldn't get any more oxygen until she got home so didn't speak to the billing people before leaving.
  
  Today she got 3 phone calls from Epworth demanding payment. She asked them to send me an email detailing the charges. Epworth won't even bother contacting my insurance company and at one point even said the bill was to be an estimated bill. That's not good enough to be submitted to insurance. In addition, she was told to pay within 14 days after being billed but instead is being harassed on her first day at home.
  
  So now I am expected to pay almost $30,000 out of my own pocket before I even submit anything to my insurance! I will be contacting Epworth on Monday to sort this out.
  
  Aside from all this there were many delays seeing various doctors. My wife should have been able to come home much sooner. The physical therapy could have been done at Grace Mckeller far cheaper.
  
  The food may have been great but in the end I just felt like they were not concerned about how long she was at Epworth, nor were they concerned about all the money that would have to be paid before my insurance was even notified.
  
  P.S The name that will be displayed with this review is not mine. In the interests of my and my wife's privacy, I will not allow it to be made public.
