A Colorado hospital has billed a woman $847 for a mere zoom call for seeking consultation for her son.
According to local news source KDVR, a Colorado children's hospital billed a lady about $850 as a "facility fee" for a telehealth consultation for her 3-year-old child via a "Zoom call."
“I can tell you right now I would’ve gone elsewhere if they had told me there was an $850 fee, essentially for a Zoom call,” mother Brittany Tesso told KDVR. Tesso acquired the bill from Children's Hospital Colorado following an initial fee of $676.89 for a two-hour speech therapy test, which she "thought was extreme," but settled regardless.
“I was like, ‘Facility fee? I didn’t go to your facility. I was at home, and as far as I could tell, some of the doctors were at home too.’ And [a hospital representative] said, ‘Well, we charge the same whether you come to the facility or it’s a telehealth appointment,'” Tesso said, KDVR reported.
