Business ProfileforAdventHealth Brandon ER

On May 4th 2023 I went into advent health with the concern of nausea and vomiting. I had recently gotten my wisdom teeth extracted, and was dealing with stronger pain meds that I had never taken before. I had been vomiting for hours without signs of stopping. I explained the reason of my visit solely for the nausea and vomiting, and explained the recent surgery. When assessing me, the doctor asked me if I had any vaginal discharge, which was an off topic question that threw me off. I answered honestly, that I had noticed something different, but had no reason to think it contributed at all to my reason for the visit. When given my bill I saw that advent health was trying to charge me nearly ***** dollars, the majority of it tests and lab work. They charged my insurance *****. On the list of tests I was surprised to see std tests. I was never asked by the doctor if I was sexually active or pregnant, nor did the nurse explain the nature of the tests being run. Had I known they were running std tests, I would have immediately declined them, as I was not sexually active at the time. I feel extremely discriminated against that they assumed my sexual activity, that I would have multiple partners and that I would practice unsafe ***. Not only problems with the visit, I also experienced issues with billing when trying to dispute these unnecessary charges. I was lied to by the financial services on a recorded line that my account wouldn't be sent to collections. They reached a conclusion on my dispute case and never felt the need to contact me to update me on it, and now I have to deal with collections for an overcharged and discriminatory bill.
