This is SSM Hospital Patient Accounts billing - they are calling regarding a bill you have with an SSM doctor.

I got a prior call from SSM when I was driving and I was rude - I apologize for that. I explained to the caller that you will get paid when I get the money and hung up on him.  Now - Sorry I didn't save in advance for my emergency room visit. I will be getting paid at end of month and see what I can pay at that point. If you didn't charge so much I could pay it off completely right now.

Much agreed with you!! I wouldn`t apologize..................... just send another bill!! I didn`t answer the phone when they called! I make payments just like everyone on this earth!!! They will get there money in time!!!!

Called with recorded msg that didnt indicate the company. Chose to speak to someone since didnt know who it was, was left on hold 15 mins, hung up as I'd already sent payment.

I agree.I was also confused because I received 2 bills nearly the same amount, and didn't realize one was the ER doctor and one was the ER visit. I paid off the first one in full, so when I got the second bill I ignored it because I thought it was the same thing. I set up an arrangement to make installments, and after the first payment they never sent me another bill so I forgot. now 8 months later they have collections calling me. I also put my husband, who's name is on the insurance, as the responsible party with his phone number, but they always call me and never him.

SSM is a scam! They make stuff up to get your insurance money and your cash. I wouldn't take my dog to them! They call everyday and they are not satisfied with what I can pay. They want more! Well SSM I hope you choke on your money and your Doctors are nothing more than scam artists. You give good medical care facilities a bad name!

They call me expecting me to cover a hospital visit for a child I don't have custody of. Good luck with that SSM.

Can you give me very less payment for my Hospital bill becus i'am a low income person.and how to pay coz i have no creditcard or debitcard.thank you

SSM trying to collect for a bill that's covered by insurance. Funny how hospitals and insurance companies collude to fleece money from people.

call from st marys looking for pmt from a surgery

They call once a day and I tell them the same thing everyday i cannot pay on my bill. one E.R. visit and now have 4 different bills.

I send $50 per bill, per month.  Never miss.  They still call me every day asking if i can send more. "Have i missed one month sending you $50 per bill per month?"   no.   "So why are you calling me?:,  'Well, we want to set up a payment plan".  BUT....I am paying by a payment plan,  MY payment plan.  Am I passed due?.  no.  Am i paying on time? yes.  Then what is this phone call about  " Well we want you to commit to OUR payment plan".  Mam,  I pretty much have proved I pay in good faith.  Do not cal me again unless I am passed due, as far as my bank tells me, you have not problem accepting the payments I send every single month on time.

Stick with your plan. I have no bills set up for automatic withdraw from account, or credit card. What you have to go through these days when something goes wrong. No thanks. I get the bill, I pay the bill. There's a great system. As you say, MY system.

I have the same issue. My MRI bill was $1300 and i put myself on a 6 mo payment plan and have 3 payments left. I dont need to discuss it with you-i obviously pay. Call block!

I also pay monthly. At times twice monthly, still get the calls....way to frequently. When they leave a message, the recording starts after they have identify themselves...

I fully agree with the other person who said : "SSM is a scam! They make stuff up to get your insurance money and your cash.".

Report SMS and the scammers doctors to your state Department of Insurance.

I got a bill from them and have never stepped foot in the ER/hospital. I told them to re-run that and never heard from them again.

I will start sending some type of payment starting in June

Not a number associated with SSM Healthcare, so don't bother answering.  Just some scammer wanting to cheat me out of my money.

If this is SSM, let me tell you about this place. Had a ER visit. I’m laying in bed hooked up to an IV, an EKG, doctors in there, nurses. In comes a lady with a clipboard wanting “copay” payment. I kindly asked her where I pay when I’m done here I’d be glad to. She then tells me “pay me now”. So with all the wires hooked up I dig out my billfold and pay her. Then 1 week later I get a bill for about $2000 and I know it hasn’t went through insurance yet. Then the next week the phone calls start. Finally I get a bill for $154 and I immediately paid it. Looks like they are still trying to get that $2000 out of me. Given a choice I certain will visit a different ER.
