Cedar Park Regional Medical Center: "Cedar Park Regional Medical Center billed me incorrectly and refused to rebill it correctly to include my second insurance carrier. Me and my insurance company attempted working it out with them many times, but their billing department was unwilling to work with us. Then they sued me for the less than $2000 owed. It has been a nightmare of years dealing with them. I would recommend driving to the next hospital if you want to avoid a financial headache." - Elizabeth
