Dr. Javier Antonio Quintero Betancourt

FACILITY CHARGES in addition to co-pay. I have CIGNA insurance and my co-pay is $50. I was hit with a $240 additional bill for "facility fee". This was their answer when I inquired on this outrageous rip off. " Please know that there will always be two charges for one date of service at the Cleveland Clinic: o The Physician/Professional charges are for the actual person who performed the services (sometimes there may be more than one physician/professional charge billed, depending on the procedure or service rendered). o The Hospital/Technical charges are the actual procedure, the room, supplies and equipment used, etc. The facility and/or treatment room charge is the result of Cleveland Clinic's physician offices and outpatient clinics being classified as hospital outpatient departments, also called provider-based facilities." NEVER AGAIN. Do not visit this doctor if you don't want to be hit with a facility fee.
