A phone call I placed to CEO Daniel McKinney of Grandview Medical Center in September, 2023 was never returned however "Kimberly" in Grandview's quality department has contacted me. Following the Thanksgiving holiday I will share my results dealing with this office.

I replay my 9/27/23 phone call to CEO McKinney of Grandview (located off highway 280, Birmingham, Alabama). Regarding failed attempts to reach Grandview Neurology & Dr. Kyle Hudgens MD: The practice & doctors who failed to provide adequate services to me as a patient in a 2019 visit. I am still receiving bills from this 4 years following the actual appointment with neurologist Kyle Hudgens MD.

I was connected to a receptionist who identifies by the name "Ronnie", she proceeds to ask my DOB to access my personal health info (medical chart). I request her last name, to which she refuses (she offers to give "her initials"), then I tell her unless I am given a first and last name of the staff, I cannot continue speaking to her about my personal health information. I am denied again and then hung up on. I was not offered to be transferred to any representative who would tell me who I am talking to, this unacceptable for a legitimate business making this much money. Doctors Natalya Belotserkovskaya, M.D., James Strong, M.D. & Stephen P. Suggs, M.D., FAHA, FAAN are also employed here.

Grandview Medical Center is one of the largest hospitals in Alabama (434 beds). The office I called employees specialist MDs who make around $140 per hour ($260,000 annual salary (ONE OF THE HIGHEST PAID PROFESSIONS IN THE USA, 2023)) after obtaining a bachelor's degree from a medical university (4 years PLUS 3 to 7 years in internship and residency programs), anonymous staff representing such medical doctors is not professional in my opinion. Prospective medical patients considering this hospital & MD's take note of my experience.

Attempts bring negligence issues to the responsible parties have not been successful over 4 years, my calls to Grandview are never returned.

Re: A bill I received in August, 2023 from ARC Management Group based out of Kennesaw, GA for a Grandview Neurology / Kyle Hudgens MD medical visit I wasted my time & money getting involved with in 2019. 4 years later, I have tried to contact them about my visit several times and calls are never returned. I am still waiting on proper service for my injury which I DID NOT receive in that visit. Hudgens should have been a MD of adequate skill to assess my condition but simply stated he could not explain my pain. He foolishly recommended I do range of motion exercises (I may have fractured the foramen magnum of my skull - SEE IMAGES). This MD also withheld medical records in a formal request (HIPAA) - I REQUESTED EVERYTHING - BUT what is listed as "Form 6/12" was not given to me.

00:00Alright, as always, you can go to YouTube channel My Medical Nightmare and see 40 plus
00:07hours video on everything that happened to me.
00:10This is Kimberly in quality at Grandview Medical Center.
00:12Received your voicemail.
00:14I'll return your call if you would give me a call back.
00:16Bye-bye.
00:19Grandview operator, may I help you?
00:21Yes, ma'am.
00:21I'm trying to reach the office of CEO Daniel McKinney.
00:24One moment.
00:25Thank you for going Grandview Administration.
00:27I was a patient for Grandview Neurology, Dr. Kyle Hudgens, MD.
00:33I called their office yesterday, September 26, 2023, to discuss billing and service issues
00:39that arose during my visit.
00:41I had a broken skull injury I was dying from.
00:44I showed the doctor, printed out an x-ray CT MRI showing the injury clearly.
00:50Dr. Hudgens, looking at the same images, told me no injury appeared there.
00:55He provided no useful service in my visit, $265 cash.
01:00I would like to inform the CEO that Grandview Neurology staff now use pseudonyms, nicknames,
01:07and false names when dealing with the public.
01:09I was hung up on when requesting a first and last name from the staff I talked to.
01:15She identified herself as Ronnie.
01:18At the same time, the representative for the MD make $140 an hour after going to school for 10 years.
01:25They request access to patients' PHI personal health data.
01:29They seek to remain anonymous.
01:31In my case, this practice is now being abused because it's being used to conceal negligence and liability.
01:37Also, a HIPAA issue is involved, withholding medical records.
01:41When I talk to someone about a million-dollar health issue, I'm going to have to have a first and
01:47last name for my records keeping before I talk to that person.
01:51That's professional.
01:53Your customers and patients who pay you money will not accept this corrupt practice, and it will one day soon
01:59be done away with, mandated by law.
02:01So you heard it here first.
02:03Still trying to talk to someone at Grandview about my bill, and you can reach me at that phone number.
02:08Look forward to talking to you, sir.
02:11Thank you for calling Grandview Medical Group Neurology, the office of Drs. Kyle Hudgens, Rodney Swilley, James Strong, Drew Uric,
02:22Stephen Suggs, and Natalia B.
02:24Hello.
02:25I'm trying to reach Ronnie.
02:27This is her.
02:27Yes, ma'am.
02:28I called yesterday regarding my bill and a visit with the college and some.
02:34One second.
02:35What's your date of birth?
02:35Okay.
02:36Do you have a last name?
02:37I'm not giving you my last name, sir.
02:39Okay, so you...
02:40I'll give you my initial.
02:42Okay, Grandview doesn't give the first and last names of people that deal with the public.
02:46I can give you my first name and my last initial, sir, but I do not give out my last
02:51name.
02:51No, ma'am.
02:52You'll give me your first and last name, or I can't talk to you.
02:55Okay, well, unfortunately, I will not be able to talk to you then.
02:57Thank you, and you have a good day.
02:58Thank you for calling Grandview Medical Group Neurology, the office of Drs. Kyle Hudgens,
03:05Rodney Swilley, James Strong, Drew Uric, Stephen Suggs, and Natalia B.
