My 9/27/23 phone call to CEO Daniel McKinney of Grandview Medical Center (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.

Neurologist Kyle Hudgens of Grand View Neurology (Affinity Physician Services) (located off highway 280, Birmingham, Alabama). 6/12/19 visit following a referral in May from American Family Care (despite the radiologist there noting no abnormality, a cloudy oval several inches in diameter appeared in standard x-ray images near the basilar area of my skull / my left side)

00:00All right, as always, you can go to YouTube channel My Medical Nightmare and see 40 plus
00:07hours video on everything that happened to me.
00:10Grandview Operator, may I help you?
00:12Yes, ma'am, I'm trying to reach the office of CEO Daniel McKinney.
00:16One moment.
00:17Thank you for calling Grandview Administration.
00:19I was a patient for Grandview Neurology, Dr. Kyle Hudgens, MD.
00:24I called their office yesterday, September 26, 2023, to discuss billing and service issues
00:31that arose during my visit.
00:33I had a broken skull injury I was dying from.
00:36I showed the doctor, printed out an x-ray CT MRI showing the injury clearly.
00:42Dr. Hudgens, looking at the same images, told me no injury appeared there.
00:47He provided no useful service in my visit, $265 cash.
00:51I would like to inform the CEO that Grandview Neurology staff now use pseudonyms, nicknames,
00:59and false names when dealing with the public.
01:01I was hung up on when requesting a first and last name from the staff I talked to.
01:07She identified herself as Ronnie.
01:10At the same time, the representative for the MD make $140 an hour after going to school for
01:1610 years.
01:16They request access to patients' PHI personal health data.
01:21They seek to remain anonymous.
01:23In my case, this practice is now being abused because it's being used to conceal negligence
01:28and liability.
01:29Also, a HIPAA issue is involved, withholding medical records.
01:33When I talk to someone about a million-dollar health issue, I'm going to have to have a first
01:39and last name for my records keeping before I talk to that person.
01:43That's professional.
01:44Your customers and patients who pay you money will not accept this corrupt practice, and
01:49it will one day soon be done away with, mandated by law.
01:53So you heard it here first.
01:55Still trying to talk to someone at Grandview about my bill, and you can reach me at that
01:59phone number.
02:00A little forward to talking to you, sir.
02:02Thank you for calling Grandview Medical Group Neurology.
02:06The office of Drs. Kyle Hudgens, Rodney Swilley, James Strong, Drew Uric, Stephen Suggs, and
02:15Natalia B.
02:16Hello.
02:17I'm trying to reach Ronnie.
02:18This is her.
02:19Yes, ma'am.
02:20I called yesterday regarding my bill and a visit with Kyle Hudgens.
02:25Hold on.
02:25One second.
02:26What's your date of birth?
02:27Okay.
02:28Do you have a last name?
02:29I'm not giving you my last name, sir.
02:31Okay, so you...
02:32I'll give you my initial.
02:33Okay, Grandview doesn't give the first and last names of people that deal with the public.
02:38I can give you my first name and my last initial, sir, but I do not give out my last
02:43name.
02:43No, ma'am.
02:43You'll give me your first and last name, or I can't talk to you.
02:46Okay, well, unfortunately, I will not be able to talk to you then.
02:49Thank you, and you have a good day.
02:51Thank you for calling Grandview Medical Group Neurology.
02:54The office of Drs. Kyle Hudgens, Rodney Swilley, James Strong, Drew Urich, Stephen Suggs, and Natalia B.
