I have never heard of an insured patient, especially by BC, that has to pay in advance for service.  No wonder Russell Hosp is in trouble.  Looks like they're using patients for short term cash flow.  Maybe the o-BAMMIEcare $6,000 deductibles are making providers very cautious.......but all they have to do is check with insurer to make sure of coverage.  Think I’d find another provider, if they asked me to pay-in-advance.
