Puget Sound Gastroenterology

I had a colonoscopy here in February 2014 and they found nothing (yay!). But, I was stuck with a $1,300 bill after insurance paid their share. I couldn't afford to pay this in full so I set up a payment plan. I missed a payment toward the end of my payment plan (about $200 left) and they sent me to collections without informing me before hand. They made zero effort to work with me on payment -- they only set up a plan after I made it clear that I flat out could not pay $1,300 at once, and then sent it to collections without informing me. I'm not sure I even needed a colonoscopy based on my age (26 at the time) and symptoms - and I talked to two other people who had colonoscopies there that seemed unnecessary and sure enough they found nothing. The only thing they care about is squeezing every last penny out of their patients.
