8778931655

I got a call from this number. It showed up as unknown and I didn't answer it. It was an automated message saying it was the Portneuf Medical Center in Pocatello, ID. I think it's a total scam! Especially after reading what I see on this. I don't know how this scam got my information, but it bothers me.

I rec'd same number call and I DO NOT live in Iowa nor anywhere near it. They left no message. As a former manager for a collection agency I urge you to know your rights. If you ask who they are or if they are a collection agency They HAVE to tell you. Most collection agencies handle multiple accounts so will handle accounts from all over the US. They ARE NOT allowed to misrepresent themselves and state they are from the dr office or hospital when they are not. Most of these collectors don't even know the laws themselves and don't realize they set themselves up for fines and more if a complaint if filed for violating federal collection laws. educate yourselves. They cannot use bad language,  harrash you, intimate you, or tell you anything that they don't intend to do as in I will file a suit against you if you don't pay by x date. Most will work with you on payments.

Just received a call from this number, and an automated voice claimed to be from Mercy Health Partners (which *is* a valid medical practice facility here in town) but asking for a person I do not know.

Just received a call from them and got a message telling me not to hang up as this call relates to a business matter.  Then I was placed on hold forever and eventually hung up.  Googled the number only to find your comments.  I recently had surgery and did receive a bill from Pinnacle Partners for Pinnacle Anesthesia Consultants.  The bill is legit, however, I feel like some of you....why do they have to be so secretive about it. The same number is on the bill I received.  Strange.

Got a call from this number.  Have no idea who this is.  I do not answer numbers I do not recognize.

this is Ameriloan.  Don't be fooled!

These people are not nice They continue to call and it it is an automated system and it puts you on hold for sometimes up to 45 minutes and they NEVER come on the the line and when you pay cell minutes that adds up. We never received a bill from these people. I finally called the number back today and the women was so hateful to me and when I raised my voice to her she said why are you yelling at me and she was the one being Nasty to me. I said Send me a bill and I will think about paying it. When I told her this is crazy that they call and put you on hold for 45 minutes she said they never do that which is a LIE. THEY SUCK we will never answer from 1877-893-1655 again

They called me telling me they were bronson hospital and trying to get my information like last 4 o my soc., my name, and my birthday. I told them i don't know who u are and defently not the hospital. I don't go to the hospital. I make dr.s apt. So i know it is a bog number. I reported it to the hospital! They are going to spread the word!

These people are scamming Mercy Medical Center, that is not their bill collecting place at all...I have the number and address of that place in front of me. Don't fall for the call..... You will be out a bunch of money if you owe Mercy anything, I go by my insurance benefit sheets as to what they do pay or don't pay. I have caller ID and look number up on computer, I often don't answer if don't recognize the number on caller ID. Once in awhile I answer just to tell them they are scammers if real party talking and discuss the Do Not Call list to them. So often anymore they don't have the 800 numbers anymore they are getting around it that way too. Lots of that sort of people out there. Not right to say the least....Hope this has helped those of you out there ...

It appears they are giving a different song and dance tune to different people out there, don't believe any of them. Just state they are a scam and get off the phone.

Oh my gosh woman, it's a scam against Mercy.....they are telling different people different things....that is not their number at all.....I have there number in front of me....it's not that one......

It's a scam against Mercy.....They don't operate that way ever.. Heaven's to Betsy.

This phone number you rec'd call from is a scam, scamming the Mercy Medical Center. I can tell if I owe anything by the BlueCross/BlueShield benefit sheets telling what they do or don't pay and what Medicare pays and don't pay. Don't get sucked into these scams.....It has nothing to do with Obama Care I will be calling the hospital administrators office here and telling them about the scam phone number and I also have the billing number here for them I will also call and ask them if they know who has the number that keeps calling everyone all over the country. One person was told it was a plumbing shop calling them nothing about medical bills. Take care and watch out....And don't answer the phone if you don't know the person calling you (number calling you.) And by no means give out any other personal information or numbers to these people they are also trying to steal your identity....A police officer came and talked to a group of us telling about all these scams of which often sounds very real.....They have all the information they need about you at your medical facility that you don't have to give that out again....... Take care. Be careful.

Received a call with an automated message asking for the last for of my social security number. Not willing to give that out to anyone that calls me. It said it was Portneuf Medical Center.

Thanks so much for the info. I just received a call from them. When they asked for my last 4 ss#'s, I hung up. Then decided to google the phone # and came across this site

Pinnacle Associates. It was for a $35 anesthesia bill that was already paid. The bill was not past due, she was asking if I would like to pay over the phone, mail in payment, etc. She was very nice, didn't ask for SSN or any sensitive info. Maybe this company does billing for many companies or they make calls for other companies, but MY phone call was for a legitimate service and they had all my info (NEVER give out your info if they don't already have it!).

This is the third time in 3 days I have receiced a call from 877-893-1655. I have not answered it because I don't recognize the #. I only get the end of the message. Did not call them back. I understand it is a scam.

keep getting calls from this compaany

Got a message saying I needed to call the number during business hours, at the end they said it wasn't medical related... Not calling back!

I also thought this might be a scam, but it is actually a legitimate collection agency for doctors and hospitals all across the country.  They did NOT ask for sensitive information like a social security number, only public information to verify that I was who I said I was (name, DOB, address).  It was in regard to a payment I thought I'd already made through UHC and InstaMed.  I called InstaMed and as it turns out, the checks they sent them had not been cashed and were about to be cancelled.  We cancelled that check and I called back the collection agency to make the payment instead.

In short, if I'd kept ignoring the call, it would have shown up on my credit report.
