I would like to share my personal experience with Alicia M. (billing) and recognize the exceptional…read morecustomer service she has consistently provided over the past six months. Every interaction I've had with her has been professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful. When I've had questions about my bill, she has always taken the time to listen, walk me through the details, and make sure I fully understand why I was billed for each service. It's rare to find someone who not only knows their job so well but also treats every person with genuine courtesy and respect. Friendly, professional customer service can be hard to come by these days, but Alicia is truly an exception. Her dedication and commitment to helping others reflect greatly on the clinic, and I truly appreciate the outstanding support she continues to provide.

#53/2024 This is a part of the University of Chicago…read morehospital system This is known as the DCAM for abbreviation This is where you will find all of your doctors that are part of the University of Chicago Hyde Park campus. This is also where the labs are for testing. This is not and I repeat not a part of the actual hospital you don't check in here for the hospital for emergency room operations etc It can be very very congested most of the time during peak hours. Working your way to where you get dropped off can be a real pain in the ass you don't have to wait because there's a little cluster of unorganization. If you park yourself in the parking garage you're fine but if you prefer to use the valet or if you're getting dropped off or you're also taking Uber or private car you will find that it's all right there as they're getting dropped off at one time and it's usually a cluster fk. I usually use valet or Uber and I've gotten used to the wait and I pretty much know once you come in though they're very helpful showing you where you need to go. This is also when you walk in on the entrance floor where the pharmacy is if you have to pick up prescriptions or stuff like that. There is a little cubby hole by the entrance doors where if you use valet parking where you validate your ticket and you pay and then you just wait for your car to come around. That can be a little congested too sometimes after you pay it's automatically transmitted but you might wait 15 or 20 minutes depending on how crowded it is if they have to snake their way through other cars. For what I've needed though for the most part it's been fine the one good thing is they're pretty much divided up between cardiology vascular on floors. Same with labs. So it's fairly easy to negotiate through the elevator. It's something you have to get used to though if you have major surgery done here at the hospital you will be returning back to D cam quite often because a lot of the doctors even though there's five or six other University of Chicago owned places throughout the metropolitan area many of them don't utilize it so you may have to come down to Hyde Park. also the food court on the second floor is really good they got some really bang on Pizza which is just awesome. And they make fresh grilled burgers and chicken sandwiches too. So after all the mess if you have a delay at least you can get some good vittles down the gullet into the belly

This is a hard review for me to write, but one I feel I need to do…read more Overall, the level of health care I have received from Physicians Immediate Care has been excellent. Everyone I've spoken with at the location have been professional and friendly. However, their records accessibility policy is ridiculous. They use a version of Epic (the most common software in the US) for their EHR. However, they do not offer a patient portal. Epic's portal is called MyChart and is offered by basically every major provider who uses Epic. Even their competitor CVS Minute Clinic offers MyChart records access. I once called to ask Physicians Immediate Care to send my health records to my PCP. I was told they charge a fee for this, basically because they can, and when I asked the person I was speaking with why they don't use MyChart they actually told me "because the records belong to us". In fact, failing to offer one seems to be in opposition to the Meaningful Use portion of EHR Incentive Program Stage 3. Maybe they don't take advantage of any of the Medicare and Medicaid incentives? I don't know, but failing to offer a patient portal strikes me as hopelessly anachronous. The message I get is they are so greedy for every cent they charge a fee to send records when seemingly everyone else offers online portal access for free. Records copying fees are "allowed" in many states, but are part of laws passed long ago when records were on paper and people had to physically photocopy them. So I tend to avoid Physicians Immediate Care now and go to CVS.

It was our first time coming here and I was surprised that there was no wait. I figured since everyone was getting the flu (and this location was pretty much in the Loop), there would've been a wait but, no, it was empty, which was awesome! Maybe we just got lucky. Anyways, Sarah B, NP, helped us as soon as I registered my kids. She was awesome with them. I liked her very much. Nowadays, finding doctors that are good with kids are seldom. Even our pediatric office wasn't always "kid friendly". Sarah was very friendly and she made my kids happy while being seen. She, then, was very detailed with us. I would definitely recommend this clinic with Sarah. I would also go back again if any one of us needed to be seen. Thanks Dr Sarah!

The biggest pro is that everyone is very personable, and the MA & doctor both had excellent bedside manner. It was genuinely a good experience while I was being looked at. The biggest con is the wait time. I initially walked in around 9:30am, hoping to be looked at 10-10:30am and make a work meeting by 11. However, I waited until nearly 10:30am (an hour later) and ended up leaving because I had to go. I returned with a booked appointment for 12:30pm, and I wasn't looked at until almost 1:45pm. Numerous people that arrived after me were taking in first, and I'm not sure why -- maybe it was a triaging thing. This is a great place to get your immediate/urgent care done, but note that it's not really immediate. If you can find a way to kill the time, you won't be disappointed. However, if you plan to be in and out, you may need to consider another location.

I called urgent care first and they explained that based on the severity of the illness and the need for IV fluids I would have to go to an ER. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield and Mercy Hospital is in my network. I have a$1000 ER copay which I paid in full by credit card at time of service. The Level of care was pretty good. The nurses and doctors were all very nice. The number of ER patients that arrived in the back of police cars and in handcuffs while I was there was a little scary, but what can you do. I realize I wasn't a medical priority since it was just dehydration. During the 6 hours there I received 2 IV bags of fluid, they drew blood and took a urine and stool sample. Standard care. So I received my fluids began to feel a little better, discharged and sent on my way. Within a few more days I was able to return to work. Overall the treatment was good and I was satisfied. Then the real nightmare began. About 6 weeks after service I received a bill from Mercy. It was a very generic bill which was not itemized. It didn't even show if my $1000 copay was applied. I was shocked to see that the total cost of services was $7313!!!! It stated my insurance paid them $3741 and that I still owed them over $2500. I made a call and found out this is what I owed even after the $1000 copay Was applies. I knew there had to be a mistake. I called Mercy and asked for an itemized bill. I explained there was no way the cost could have been over $7000. They were rude and defensive when I asked and the itemized bill didn't show up. It took 2 additional calls and almost a month to finally receive the itemized bill. Only after I told them I filed a fraud claim with BCBSIL for not receiving an itemized bill did I receive the itemized bill. Upon reviewing the bill I found a typo. A major typo. Each IV was listed as a seperate line item. B/c I had 2 IVs that day the quantity for each should have been listed as one. The 2nd IV listed on the bill had a 0 behind the 1 under quantity which in turn was showing I received 10 IVs to the tune of $446 a piece. Therefore, I was charged for 9 IVs I never received and was being billed $4014 for them. I called Mercy immediately. The billing agent recognized and acknowledged the mistake and confirmed it with a supervisor after putting me on a brief hold. Ok, just issue me a new corrected bill and we're all good right? NOPE! I was told in order for Mercy to correct their mistake which could ultimately negatively impact my finances and credit that I had to write them a letter of dispute and.......wait for it......FAX it to them. Yes! Fax! The cutting edge form of document transmission from 1989. Unbelievable in 2018. So I typed up my letter,printed it out, got in my time machine and headed to a local UPS store with a fax machine and attempted to fax out the letter of dispute. After 4 attempts, the line just rang and rang with no answer. I jumped back into my time machine and headed to Fedex Office (or should I say Kinkos since that was all the rage when we were still faxing in the last century?). Multiple attempts were made again. I called Mercy to confirm the number. I had it correct. They told me they are just busy receiving a lot of dispute letters (shocking? No!) and that I need to just keep trying. I asked if there was any other option, if I could even drop it at the billing office in person. I was told no. I was also told I could not be transferred to a supervisor. Only faxing was allowed. I don't have time to sit at a location with a fax machine to try again and again to fax them a dispute to a mistake they made for over $4000!!! This place is scamming people. I have filed another fraud claim with my insurance company and I have begun a claim with the Illinois Attorney General's Health Bureau for medical billing fraud. If you have no choice but to go to Mercy for Emergency care don't pay them a dime until they send you an itemized bill and you can confirm it is correct. I suspect they are pulling this scam on a lot of people and insurance companies. These are the people to blame for rising medical and health insurance costs!!!!
