Beatrice Community Hospital & Health Center

The hospital has improved greatly in the last few years.

My doctor there was good, but my big issue is with their billing.I was told that a particular test would not be covered by my insurance and then when the bills (bills from 3 different entities) came it totaled more than $3000. I had no warning whatsoever that it would amount to this and there is no way to pay it. I do not do financial business over the phone from past experience, but they do not give any other way of contacting them about a bill. I started paying as much as I could conceivably pay per month, but still kept getting letters (in triplicate) from them about each of the bills. Why are there even three bills for one test? And I don't know about anyone else, but who has $3000 lying around to pay for a test that really didn't conclude anything. I'm beginning to think with the cost of health care, that most of our health would be better if not for the stress caused by health care billing.

Went to the er and all they did was give me pain killers and sent me home. Never helped the problem, just put a bandage on it.

Great hospital!

Great staff. They made sure that I was comfortable and took time to listen to my concerns. I love having incredible caring people in my community. My nurses Mark, and Janae were amazing, and Dr.Friesen was great.
