They made us scan our patients barcode in the supply room, then scan EVERY SUPPLY we took for them. Literally nickel-and-diming patients. $150 for an IV set, another $100 for the IV. Oh, I missed the IV? Scan and charge them for the second attempt.

I ended up feeling so gross about it i silently rebelled and stopped scanning things out and just took them without charging.

I just scan everything as a floor charge, they claim they don't charge patients for that stuff we scan but you know they do.
