Rip Off... I went to a North Shore LIJ urgent care facility in Bethpage, Had to wait more than 2 hours before i saw MD Wighton. No test were done and told me to go to ER if symptoms get worse! the whole seeing was like 3 minutes, less that 5 minutes for sure. Few days later i got a bill for $710 !!!!!! i have 2 insurance still my responsibility is $710.00 i called his billing department and a guy Thomas (Not at all helpful and Rude!) told me that was an emergency room visit and I corrected him saying it was an urgent care visit and he told me you can call what ever you want but technically it is a ER visit and billed so. So less that 5 minute consultation, no prescription or tests = $710. Good job NS LIJ! Serving Longisland or Ripping Off....
Update... Couple of weeks later I found out from my insurance that they send a separate bill to the insurance for $680+ SO my total bill went up to $1390 for the same visit. UNBELIEVABLE!!! Avoid the doc & the facility if you can. do not recommend to anyone.
