I am a mother of a son that had meningiococal meningitis at the age of 4 months. I almost lost my son because I was a medical insurance case and no physician wanted to take my case. I became a nurse after my son illness to help mothers with similar cases like mine, and will never tolerate physicians not to admit or provide care to any patients because of their insurances. That is why I work for many years for Prime healthcare. I am today a director of one of Prime's hospital ER and I am proud of being part of this organization.. To all prime employees and physicians, thank you, for your caring and companion giving to all patients everyday. Stay strong we are talked about because we have made a difference in the healthcare industry, and people don't take the time to embrace us. They do what easier and more common to them, they look for faults. I have experience what you might call discrimination due to insurance, and I have found in Prime, to be an organization that provides care with companion regardless of insurances. I am a proud Prime NURSE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741684961227307530.post-19425180354000976342011-07-25T15:55:43.263-07:002011-07-25T15:55:43.263-07:00It si amazing how Prime is criticize for admitting...It si amazing how Prime is criticize for admitting kaiser patient and/or patients with insurance, but you don't criticize the fact that the sharp hospital as well as kaiser would go on bypass for all uninsured patient but will tell the EMS to bring their insured pts to their facility even when most of the time they wait on the EMS gurneys for hours. How I know this,will I personally attend these so call county meeting and this is the kind of discussion they have. They claim is for the best of the patient, because they have their medical records available. I call it EMTALA VIOLATION. When you go on diversion it is because your ER Is unsafe to receive any patient. But kaiser and sharp pick and choose who they want to see.. It's about time someone investigate this, don't you think? If Prime was the only company seeing pts based on insurance, the US would be safe.. But there are other facilities that are doing worse, and your focus is only on a small business that is actually practicing better standard of care than any other facility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
