1 /5 Colleen Adams: The woman at the front desk made a mistake. No big deal, it happens.
Apparently,not to her. She immediately got defensive and outright rude. I dismissed her behavior and sat down to fill out paperwork. Not even 3 minutes later she started in on me again trying to explain her behavior when we first walked in. I said, its fine. I just wont speak with her, after all, we are here to see the doctor and thats all. She then informed me she has the right to refuse service for any reason. I responded with... okay... are you refusing service?
She then got loud and boldly stated that I do not even have insurance. *we just relocated for Idaho. My job offers insurance, but that takes time and my daughter is an athlete, so I was going to fund this out of pocket.
She was well aware of this situation because we had discussed it perviously over the phone when I made the appointment. So, I informed her again that she was mistaken and I do in fact have insurance, but we will not be using it for this specific visit.
I have never ever not once been turned away from any medical examination for lack of insurance with cash in hand. Today I was. If that wasnt enough she continued to attempt to shame me and my daughter in the waiting room... repeating over and over agin that we dont even have insurance.
Just, dont go there.
For what motivation was that woman just Vicious!? And I am blessed enough to have insurance provided to me when so many are not.
