I have only once sought "emergency" care (at Banner-Boswell, which IMO ranks near rock bottom and will never see me again) I can only vouch for the fact that before they would even LOOK at me, I had to provide them with my insurance information. It's normal procedure for all hospitals to ask if you have insurance. It does not mean that you would not have been treated had you not had insurance. My next door neightbor works in a hospital billing department and she says that many are treated that do not have insurance. Some pay by payments each month and others who are not financially able end up not paying at all. |

Banner-Boswell is one of the top 100 US hospitals out of 2,886 and the only one in AZ to make that ranking. If you have a heart attack or a stroke you better hope they take you there also they are in the nation's top 5% for preventing mortality and complications (see below). ---------------------------------- Banner Boswell Medical Center in Sun City was named one of the nation's Top 100 hospitals by Thomson Reuters. Banner Boswell is the only hospital in Arizona to receive the 2012 honor. It was also one of 12 Everest Award winners. To receive the Everest Award, a hospital must be ranked among the top 100 and have delivered the greatest rate of improvement during the past five years. [Snip] The Thomson Reuters hospital performance rankings take into account many areas, including mortality, medical complications, patient safety, average patient stay, expenses and profitability. The study also evaluates patient satisfaction, adherence to clinical standards of care, post-discharge mortality and readmission rates for heart attack, heart failure and pneumonia. To conduct the 100 Top Hospitals study, Thomson Reuters researchers evaluated 2,886 short-term, acute care, non-federal hospitals. -------------------------------------- 2011 U.S. News and World Report "One of Phoenix's Best Hospitals." --------------------------------------- Gold Seal of Approval from The Joint Commission for Primary Stroke Centers. Only hospital in the area to receive this. ------------------------------------ Nation's top five percent for preventing mortality and complications. ----------------------------------- (Nov. 20, 2012) -- The Healthcare Accreditation Colloquium recently announced that Banner Boswell Medical Center has been designated an Accredited Heart Failure Center. The recognition took place in conjunction with Banner Health achieving Heart Failure System Accreditation, becoming the FIRST to achieve this distinction in the western region of the U.S. and the SECOND in the country. ----------------------------------------- And there is more. |
