Jersey City Medical Center: "My experience at Jersey City Medical Center (part of RWJBarnabas Health) raises serious concerns about patient treatment and billing practices.

I presented to the ER on July 21–22, 2025 with a stable neck lesion. After labs and imaging, I repeatedly asked to be discharged. Instead, I was told I had to stay overnight because ENT surgery was supposedly planned for the next morning. When I questioned this, I was told I could not leave and that "police officer at the door won't let me out".

Despite being kept overnight, I received no active care. From roughly 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM, I was left unattended in an ER bay — no bed, no blanket, no food or water, and no documented monitoring. The next morning, the ENT stated surgery would be scheduled over a month later, confirming there was no emergency and no medical reason for the overnight “observation.”

Nevertheless, JCMC billed high-acuity ER and hospital observation charges for this stay. Later, an ENT follow-up visit billed a diagnostic nasal endoscopy that was never performed; that charge was removed only after I challenged the documentation in writing.

I submitted detailed complaints to JCMC Patient Advocacy and Billing in August 2025, including a code-by-code dispute. In September, JCMC responded with a generic letter stating that all services were appropriate and closed the case without addressing the lack of care or contradictory medical evidence. Since then, leadership has stated they are “reviewing” disputed CPT codes for weeks, while billing timelines continue to run.

Subsequent MRI imaging and independent ENT opinions confirmed there was no abscess or emergent condition.

Patients deserve transparency, consent, and care — not coercion, inflated billing, and prolonged delays. I strongly encourage anyone treated here to carefully review observation status, documentation, and charges, and to advocate for themselves." - Irina
