ShermanChoice in Elgin Disputes Provena St. Joseph Bill

ShermanChoice in Elgin, Ill., an affiliate of Elgin-based Sherman Health Systems, has filed a complaint in the Cook County Circuit Court alleging that Provena St. Joseph Hospital, also in Elgin, overcharged for care given to its patients by $282,000, according to a Crain’s Chicago Business report.

ShermanChoice has a contract with Provena St. Joseph to provide some kinds of care to its patients. St. Joseph billed for the care based on the length of the treatments rather than on a per treatment basis, and it has refused to issue a refund, the complaint said.

ShermanChoice didn’t catch the alleged error until more than a year after the services were provided, according to the report.
