There is two other people in this town that have the same name as mine but the billing clerks do not understand that ssn's and birthdates are different and it has created a mess so I am so stressed over getting the hospital to bill correctly. I have yet to understand why nobody is listening to me or am I going to get sent to collections over the balance owing because of the billing clerks screwing up as I have called and called trying to get this bill fixed as I pay alot for insurance only to have these billing clerks not bill them leaving me to figure it out. Maybe I need a lawyer to help me.

Food was tasty, with some creative variations. Nurses and CNAs were quickly responsive to my needs and often proactive in offering help to make me more comfortable, for example, timing tylenol and ibuprofin 45 minutes before my arduous PT visits. The physical and occupational therapists were particularly impressive in personalizing my exercises to prepare me for my home situation, such as getting in and out of a truck, an air taxi, stairs at home. It was important to me to be able to get outside for fresh air every day, and my care team allowed me to wheel myself outside after the third day (with an alarm mat on the seat). The care at St. Elias exceeded my expectations and I have said so to many people since my discharge. Highly recommended. My only question is that they discharged me with no physical therapy exercise sheet and no dietitian's recommendations for increasing protein, etc to help facilitate bone regrowth.

Overall, a pretty large hospital and it's not confusing to find your way around it. Although the…read moreentrance seems a bit confusing, I gotta admit that I get it. It must be to help keep the heat in on really cold days! Almost everything you do requires you to take a number at one of the little quiosks. If you haven't done so already, better hope uou had an appointment, otherwise you'd be waiting all day. The morning hours can be brutal as there's sick call and people who get injured so if you can hold off until at least 1 pm then I would recommend that. That way you'll also have better luck at finding parking. If not, good luck because you'll either have to go extra early or circle the parking lot like a hawk looking for a tasty meal. This facility is overall very clean and for the most part organized. It's there to meet all your health needs but what could use improvement is how you get results because it takes forever and follow up can be pretty slow. Overall I've had a good experience here and the staff will usually try to accommodate your needs (especially for people mortified of shots like this gal!) They are patient,but don't expect too much; they gotta help hundreds of other eager patients too.

When patients had developmental problems like autism in addition to the psychiatric, they were not receiving adequate services because staff were not taught how to handle them. Sometimes staff would be short a quality personnel because staffing would be adjusted to keep the physical needs (for physical restraints) equally divided (eg. 1male on each side, 2female on each, but started out 2male 1female, when adjusted no quality female on one side). In essence, chronically under-staffed, under-educated, and physical demands take precedence for safety and not treatment. Recidivism rates very high, some patients prefer to be sent back, and a very violent, unsafe environment for both staff and patients.

It appears we are profiling individuals who are military spouses…read more Let me clarify my situation, which began at 6:18 am when I walked out from inside the base due to my car breaking down. Since there is no bus service within the base distance, I had to walk 2.9 miles from Fort Richardson to the VA clinic near Muldoon Gate. Upon arriving at the bus station at 6:18 am, right next to the VA clinic and bus 25 stop, my asthma began to act up due to the cold air, making it difficult to breathe. I went inside to use the restroom and took my inhaler, then sat down for about 10 to 15 minutes waiting for the bus. When a security officer approached me and greeted me, I responded cordially. However, when he returned a few minutes later and asked if I was waiting for someone, I felt a bit perplexed. After explaining I was waiting for the bus and providing my military spouse ID, the officer's tone and demeanor made me feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, particularly when he emphasized 'you're the military spouse.' As the bus arrived, two officers watched me from the door, staring, which I perceived as profiling. Regardless of my status as a military spouse, the treatment I received was unwarranted and profiling in nature, particularly given the circumstances of my car breaking down and needing to use the bus. I felt unwelcome and uncomfortable due to the manner in which I was looked at, akin to having committed a crime. The prolonged stare from both individuals as I boarded the bus and their continued gaze as the bus departed was not only unsettling but also peculiar, especially considering their position at the entryway.
