When BRHC was a regional hospital it was easy to get medical records on time. Now, with Baptist they use Verismo who cannot ever loate my medical records. Some mumbo jumbo with 'time window' or somethng and now I have to wait up to 6 weeks to go in person to get the records.

I DO NOT WANT A MUMBO JUMBO PHONE CALL AS I HAVE HAD PLENTLY OF THEM. The explanations given to me about access to OPD records is just totally opaque.

I do not see why I have to wait a month or 6 weeks to get records. You should be ashamed to have such a patient unfriendly system/

I am an RN previously employed almost 14 years at this hospital. I became ill with a severe chronic disabling illness in August, 2013 leaving me unable to work. I had short term disability via the hospital as an employee benefit. Despite extensive documentation in support of my disability submitted by several of my treating providers the hospital refuses to pay my claim. The hospital had the right to send me for an independent medical exam however instead my file was sent for a "paper review" to two doctors who do not specialize in my condition. I was also informed not to bother appealing as they will not pay my claim. This has resulted in foreclosure proceedings against me, the loss of my car, etc. This is reprehensible.
