What’s going on at the standalone ERs? Genuinely curious.
I have a few near me, but would never consider going to one if it’s going to cost me the same as a regular ER that’s most likely better equipped and staffed.
They are basically glorified urgent care clinics that can charge you exorbitant sums because they call themselves ERs. Plus like you said they aren’t attached to hospitals, so if something is really wrong they’ll have to transfer you. And bonus for them, they probably own the ambulance that will transfer you, so they can take more of your money.
