To kevin Jannsen and others in his situation. The guide they have says you can at any time request information about services including costs. But Minnesota's patient bill of rights item #14

Gillette saved the day. After a terrible experience at Childrens Hospital St. Paul, and having my time wasted by two other facilities today, Gillettes was able to tell us my daughters leg had a toddlers fracture (something childrens overlooked). Our experience was fantastic, the service and care was fast, polite, and caring. Thank you Dr. Cooper in orthopedics, and the nurses who helped us today!

Research your expected cost in advance of scheduling!! My daughter recently broke her arm and required surgery prior to putting a cast on. We had a good experience at the hospital and the staff were great in keeping my daughter in high spirits. Given the good care, I proceeded to schedule follow up care check-ins. I signed an insurance consent form at the hospital indicating there would be separate physician and facility charges for the visit. That was expected, since I was in a hospital. However, what was not made clear to me is that ALL follow up care would also include outpatient facility charges

Normally I have absolutely loved Gillette Children's. However, we started the process of ordering adaptive strollers for two of our children many months ago. As of yet, they have not contacted insurance to get the claim started, according to my insurance rep. My kids are unable to go to school without the adaptive strollers. I am very upset about the lack of progress.
Update: The vendor submitted the insurance claim but it was denied because Gillette didn't give all of the needed info that insurance needs. The vendor has been trying to contact Gillette to get that info. They cannot get a response

Terrible. Communication is the worst at Gillette. The providers don't communicate with you about your child outside of your 15 min appointment. They don't communicate with each other. They do not follow through when they say they're going to follow up with you. When you call, good luck actually speaking to the care team. There is no real coordination of care and we go to Complex Care clinic (that is literally their job!) They cancel appointments last minute, no explanation given. The facility is not well kept, bathrooms not stocked. No paper roll for the large changing table, no sanitizing wipes

The staff has been friendly, however, I find myself being a middle man for appointments that should have been made months ago through them, not me. I'm not a scheduler, I'm a parent just trying to get a surgery for a kid who's pain is getting worse while I'm trying to coordinate things that shouldn't be my responsibility to. Its been over two months since I brought my child in for severe scoliosis. If they even walk for too long they are crying in pain for hours despite Motrin, heat packs and snuggles (theyre seven).... walking, they can't play with their friends for too long, their quality of

They line the walls of the hospital with plaques showing millions of dollars in grants but it's hard to see where that money has gone. After a little time spent their it becomes apparent what is going on their. It is a collection of children that are born to extreme wealth from around the world that bring "shame" upon the family because of special needs grandchildren. Therefore they use their wealth to push through the immigration process to unload the special needs grandchild along with the mother onto a place they can be taken care of on someone else's dime. Screw the local children that could
