800-346-0775

They call and leave a message.  Message is cut off in the beginning and just says that I should call the 800 # and that the call is not related to a health matter.

Bugging everyday calling without leaving message. [***]'em

Same thing as post above - they call daily - message is cut off in the beginning - then they say to call the number back and that it's not related to health matters.  Yeah, like I'm really going to call them back.  I have zero interest....

caller id shows up as 714-935-9947 but as mentioned above, the begining of the message is cut off and to call back 800-346-0775 and is not related to any health issues.

Thank God, I didnt call back this #.

Caller always leave a message to some1 called "Michael."

I got a call too at 12:07pm and as same as above the message was cut off... mentioned it is not a health issue... Is it something I didn't pay or something??? I also called back the 714 area code number and it said it was disconnected... weired!!!

I also forgot to mention the number the voice message asked me to call was 800-346-0775

Okay people, I discovered whom this number is from.... It's San Ramon Hospital billing department, so if you've been to the hospital in last year or so, then that might be what it's regarding... BILLING!!! If you don't want it to go to collections you better call them.

Good Luck

Seems they are a Pretzel co

We have never even HEARD of San Ramon Hospital, so I have serious doubts regarding that tidbit.  However, when this number called us, the person did try to coax personal information like SSN from a family member. Use care when you answer unfamiliar callers!

The number belongs to Tenet California Insurance Company, billing and collections dept. which handles hospital bill balances if you have had visited an emergency room.  My son went to an emergency room back in March of this year and paid the ER visit deductible but apparently the HMO does have one more trick that they would only pay 80% of the negotiated rate and the balance falls under your responsibility. These guys are just trying to collect those balances so contact your healthcare provider first and then confirm the balance and call the hospital back if you are more comfortable than speaking with Tenet California.  You better take care of those bills otherwise it will certainly go to the collections.

Good Samaritan Hospital business office. Good Sam's in West Palm Beach FLorida. Can more than one business have the same 800 number? That's so weird, I thought it might be a pretzel co. too. LOL

I have received two calls from this number.  The first one left a message on my voice mail/no words just music. The second one no message.  I googled it and game up with the same pretzel company number.  Weird, if that is how the hospital billers are trying to cover their tracks.

It is the Support Center for any Tenet owned Hospital, they are calling because they can't get your insurance billed or there is a problem with the billing procedure. You should call because it will get transfered to their in house collections depatment... Remember  Hospitals are NOT obligated to bill your insurance it is a courtesy, I found out the hard way!!!  CALL THEM  if you don't want a big headache in the future!!!!

Tenet is NOT an Insurance Company... they own the Hospital you went to. Make sure your insurance is contracted with them or you are liable for what they don't pay... Remember  the Insurance companies find any way they can to get out of paying your bill!!!!!

Yeah, I just got the message too.  It sounds like it has to be Tenet because I went to a Tenet hospital and know for a fact I didn't pay and they continue to call.  It would have been sweet if it was the Pretzel people though and you scored mad free pretzels.

I used to work for Tenet, at their California location. Tenet Healthcare Systems owns hospitals nation wide. If you were treated at one of there hospitals, and your claim isn't paid within a certain period the hospital forward the account the their central hub. Soft collections are performed, if you have insurance you should contact them to see if the claim is on file. If the claim is not on fule it is imperative you contact Tenet to give them your insurance information, again! It is only a courtesy for them to bill your insurance if they don't have a contract with the insurance carrier, otherwise if they decline to bill it is a breech in there contract and should be reported accordingly. If you gave your insurance information at the time of service and find it was never billed you do have some recourse. Contracted hospital must submit claims within a "timely filing" period, if they do not, they don't get paid (the must write-off the balance). Using this as a tool only works if you gave your insurance information at time of service. Otherwise you will be responsible for the entire chareges.  I hope this helps.

Yep.  Tenet.  Los Alamitos for me.  The thing that really makes me mad is that I had a CAT scan.  The charge was $1500.  My insurance paid all but $28.  I thought, sweet!  Then I get this bill from Tenet for another $1500!!!  WTF???  So I call and they tell me its, get this... A FACILITY CHARGE!!!  So I haggle with them, and tell them to bill my insurance.  They do, but there's still $200 owed.  Jesse James and Billy the Kid had horses and guns... this place only has a building!  But I call $1500 for 10 minutes total, waiting room and scan, is highway robbery!!!

No .....insurance companys pay according to your benefit structure.....don't follow the crowd and paint them as the scapegoat...Educate yourself before you speak!

this organization is tryaing to call my son --4-5 times a week.  they say that he should call 8003007192, Central Financial Control.  That number takes you to a florist in Chicago area.
