Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital: "Kidney Stone march 2022. Bills were double service times and dates for the Hospital site and an outpatient clinic. I made arrangments with them regarding payment. I piad off the clinic and the Hospital, so I thought July / August 2022. I wrote on the check memo line "Clear blanace on all accounts and services." No bills came, that is untill Janaury 2023, when they started billing me again.
They will not honor their payment agreement. YVMH and this Dr. Brian Cox are greedy S.O.B.'s" - Kidney
