Care navigation and billing can frustrate families
A few reviewers report frustrations with billing help and care coordination.
Two critical reviews raise concerns about how families were supported when insurance or billing issues came up, saying guidance was limited and that they were left to resolve problems on their own. Those same reviewers also mention response-time concerns when assistance was needed, and one describes communication as dismissive. While most reviews focus on positive care, these issues show up as recurring stress points for some families during difficult moments.
