Parkview Health

Parkview Health traces its roots back to Fort Wayne City Hospital, founded in 1878, that went through a series of name changes, including: Hope Hospital (1891-1922), Methodist Hospital (1922-1953), Parkview Memorial Hospital (1953-1955), and Parkview Hospital Randallia (1955 - Current). Parkview Health's flagship hospital campus, Parkview Regional Medical Center, was founded in March 2012.

As of 2013, Parkview officials announced a facelift of $3.2 million to Parkview Randilla Hospital. It includes a new entryway, new signage, a large courtyard, and a park.[4] An interior facelift was conducted right after the Parkview Regional Medical Center was complete in May 2012, which included turning 150 patient rooms into private, more comfortable rooms. Other highlights include acute and continuing care centers, a surgery area, the Center for Wound Healing, Center on Aging and Health and a full-service emergency department. The facility also offers a family birthing center, imaging and lab services, endoscopy, and a sleep lab.[5]

Parkview has come under scrutiny for its billing practices. A 2019 report wrote that Parkview charged private insurance about four times the rate it charged Medicare; while many hospitals hike their prices somewhat for non-Medicare rates, Parkview did so to an unusual degree.[6] Additionally, the hospital has refused to bill Medicaid for some of its patients even when they qualified, instead placing medical liens directly on their property for rates three to five times as high as the Medicaid rate, potentially ruining these patient's credit scores. The hospital has been sued by a number of aggrieved patients over these practices. A 2010s Indiana law requires hospitals to bill normal insurance before pursuing additional debts with a lien. Parkview has argued in court that Medicaid is "government assistance" and not insurance, so the law does not apply to these disputes; plaintiff's lawyers have argued that other hospitals in Indiana treat Medicaid as insurance, making Parkview the outlier. Parkview lost a court case and the judge held that Indiana law considers Medicaid health insurance.[7]
