In addition to the physician's copay, Mt. Sinai is now charging a co-pay of $35.00 just to step into certain of their facilities, including Philips Ambulatory Center on 4th Avenue and 15th Street, and their Senior Care location on 8th Ave and 24th Street. It seems, from what I've heard, that Mt. Sinai is targeting HMO health care plans, not preferred ones, so, of course, poorer people are again carrying the burden of paying more for health care. BTW, Mt Sinai started started this billing without advance notice to their patients or doctors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-33482027066986788752017-10-05T17:27:47.550-04:002017-10-05T17:27:47.550-04:00Urgent Care is a rip off.Urgent Care is a rip off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-42361565087756797492017-10-05T15:27:52.252-04:002017-10-05T15:27:52.252-04:00This does not make up for us losing over 700 hospi... This does not make up for us losing over 700 hospital beds. Mount Sinai is now sending all their patients up to 101st St. to get treatment. So if you're visiting a patient, instead of being able to walk over to see them, now it could take you an hour to get up there ius another hour to get back. There is no way that 70 beds is adequate for the entire downtown popularion of Manhattan that they supposedly serve. The only other beds they are keeping downtown are for the mental health unit on 15th St. This was a real estate deal from the beginning to th help shore up Mount Sinai's poor financial condition. It's outrageous that they got away with it without a peep out of De Blasio.

I had three friends from the community who spent their last days there, in comfort and with good care. Many of us have no family/home care option if we were to get to that point, and I'm not aware of any neighborhood alternatives. (Bellevue, for example, just has a very small and contracted-out hospice facility.) I've raised this in the various community forums and the mt Sinai survey, but no-one has any answers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-52433438076237096002017-10-05T09:29:59.864-04:002017-10-05T09:29:59.864-04:00Is that a green screen on that wall?Is that a green screen on that wall?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
