The hospital staff was great, but the billing is really awful. I went in by ambulance after having a heart attack. The total bill for this was over $200,000 and I don't have insurance. I have been unemployed for over two years, have no savings left, no retirement savings and my unemployment ran out months ago. I have $0 income, and own no property. I applied for their charity and they said I didn't qualify because my income is too high, lol. I sent all documentation but they said, and I quote, "we don't care." Now they call me 2-3 times a day telling me that if I don't start paying them $9000 a month they will sue me. They don't seem to understand that I want to pay them and when I go back to work I will send them monthly payments based on whatever I can afford. I will probably end up filing bakruptcy to get rid of this, and they will end up with nothing. I have even spoken to a couple of people higher up in admin, and they just say that the billing department has the final word. Stay away from Las Colinas Medical Center if you don't have insurance. They will tell you that you can fill out a charity application, and not to worry because it will all be okay, but they lie. It won't all be okay. They will drive you to bakruptcy because not even homelessness is considered a charity case to them.
