I am going to talk to some lawyers about this place and what they are doing to patients. I call a office and the person says that I cannot be seen by a new doctor that I am trying to find for a primary care. You are black balling patients and the guy that said to do this does not even work at the company anymore but yet the office is still blackballing me. I am going to talk to a lawyer about this stuff. I see it with other patients as well as me. The office I called had nothing to do with the other office that I had an issue with. They wanted me to fill out some paperwork and then I found out that they do not even take both my insurances and I would have to pay out of pocket but yet they blackballed me in the whole system. This is ridiculous. Completely unethical and I am going to talk to some lawyers about it. Completely unethical standards. Black ball somebody because they told me one thing and then I found out something else and now I am black, bald and St. Vincent’s and reliant . This is absolutely pathetic and something needs to be done about it. You pick and choose who you want as a patient and you black ball other patients for no reason whatsoever
My daughter worked at Park Plaza in Houston, TX. She obtained her BSN through the Tenet Invest in U Program. She was unable to complete all two years of her contract. Now she has been turned over to collections (without any prior notifications that she owed) to pay the unworked portion of her contract. When she resigned almost 2 years ago she worked with her manager to have Park Plaza kept her pay for all of her PTO and basically all of her final pay check so this should have been paid. Baptist School of Health Professional, my daughter Katherine Noriega and I have all reach out to Tenet and still do not receive any response or proof of this payment. In addition I did receive a response from Tenet’s Ethics & Compliance Dept who shared the “inquiry into your daughter’s paycheck with our internal group that is responsible for divested facilities for their review and handling.” Still no response!.
