To the editor:
ThedaCare’s Dr. Gruner speaks with a forked tongue, as the city has found out when at the last minute ThedaCare said no to a medical residency training center at the old Shawano Medical Center and now is telling all those people with Network Health Plan that they will be dropped or have to pay an out-of-network extra charges.
Why can Bellin and Prevea accept our plan but ThedaCare can’t? The reason is just plain greed of the worst kind. They knew most would blame Network Health even after it offered ThedaCare more money — but not enough for Dr. Gruner and his bunch.
Dr. Gruner talks about the wonderful service, but why is it every time you go to a fast-food place, you see new people? The same at ThedaCare. Most times, you get to see a nurse or a PA, but you paid to see a doctor.
Dr. Gruner talks about the state-of-the-art computer system, yet billing often gets screwed up and it takes talking to three people to get it corrected. Most times I go to the VA and see a doctor, the bill is always correct. Plus, what a great group of professionals.
Yes, some at the VA are bad, but they are at the top and, like Dr. Gruner, should be fired.
