University of Iowa Hospital & Clinics

BEWARE OF FRAUDULENT BILLING DEPARTMENT! If I could give 0 stars I would. The doctor I visited was fine. However, their billing department is totally fraudulent. First, after my annual checkup, which is 100% covered by my insurance, I received a bill for over $300. I called about it a number of times, and they claimed that tests I "asked for" weren't covered under my annual exam. I was naive and payed. Then after another medical professional examined it, she clarified that it was in face mis-billed as 'hepatitis screening' instead of annual exam. I've called til I'm blue in the face, and nobody will call me back. THEN I had a 5 minute tele-health appointment where NOTHING was done for me. (My copay is $15) I got a bill for $100 because my insurance viewed the doctor THEY GAVE ME AT RANDOM as a specialist. I called, waited for a call back, nothing. Called again, waited, nothing. Now they will pass that bill along to collections. BEWARE!

Forced me to take 16 years of unneeded not wanted dangerous medications because I was not from the correct system when I went into the ER. Would not transfer me to the other hospital and 16 years later I awake form a medical daze wondering what happened to my financial portfolio, family, and acquired past wealth and dreams

Not a good hospital at all my niece Is still in the hospital really...in dis supposed to the number one hospital in world

Even though this large hospital is very modern, it employs a neurosurgeon who has DESTROYED my life and the lives of dozens of other patients. Even worse is their paying the ARROGANT criminal doctor over ONE MILLION DOLLARS a year. What a WASTE of our tax-dollars. Dr. Patrick William Hitchon is the Neurosurgeon who destroyed my life with his surgical errors, gave physicians a bad name with his arrogance and anger, and disgraced the doctor's oath by having absolutely no compassion for his patients (victims). BEWARE of Dr. Hitchon and find a hospital with qualified physicians.
