I agree with smarterthanaman, this organization appears to take advantage of its tax exempt status much more so than the other organizations in Indianapolis. As far as I can tell, what they do best is spend money on TV ad campaigns. The CEO comes across as a "slime" ball!!

I have had more interaction with senior management of this "non profit" as an insured patient in this past year than should ever be necessary. No matter what the IRS status of this monsterous health care organization, they are not a charitable organization. They have serious financial billing errors, they double bill ( I had primary and secondary heath insurance) - and in my case triple billed. The patient statements are not correct, and after meeting with CEO I was told they were aware of the issue, and tried to explain / blame the problem on outside agencies. After two years of continued billing errors for office visits, they sent my account to a collection agency. They had been paid multiple times for the same office visits. When I asked the CEO how many people a year they turn over to collections, he told me 7000. No one in management even reviews the accounts sent to collection for possible errors, or financial need / health of the patient. They harass the extremely ill, suffering, and dying for their money without exception - even if they are billing them erroneously. That is not a charitable organization. They give large cash bonus's to officers, they are more concerned about getting paid than helping to care for their patients.

Also, everything I have been able to find on this 'foundation' indicates they are a charitable organization who's charity is themselves. I find NO recipients of their monies or services to any group other than themselves.
