Mary Pugmire DO

A healthcare provider affiliated with Sparrow Health System.

The doctors were very professional, competent, and friendly. My wife received great care. However, their billing practices are horrible. We moved to the area six months into our pregnancy. During our first visit we were given an information sheet with their prices. The nurse said that the antepartum care would be pro-rated, since we were coming to them six months into a nine month pregnancy. When we received the bill for the full amount I called billing and was told that for 1-3 visits the charge was $90/visit, but at 7 visits they charge the full amount, which comes out to $147.50/visit. A written letter to the head of billing was also to no avail. All of the out-of-state doctors we visited during her pregnancy did pro-rate their visits, so we were in effect billed by Lansing OB/GYN for work they did not do, and others were paid for.
