I have been hearing Valley Hospital is still sending people to collections during this COVID-19 epidemic. While other states have restricted collections during this time, NJ has not passed such rules. Many of these people claim they did not receive a original bill and were unaware they had an outstanding balance during their stay in March & April.
i am 74 yrs of age my son has been fully vaccinated but no booster they would not allow him to visit me that is outrageous no one is being forced to have a booster. booster made me very ill lymph nodes swollen for months and painful
Precautions are understandable
But their policies are wrong !
