You are all some sad ass people that don't want to pay your bills huh?

Hospitals and Doctors should be allowed to turn people like you all out the door when you all show up hurting and in pain.

Yes, It is Torrey Pines Bank which collects payments for hospitals around the US.

My husband was on a payment plan with Florida Hospital and we paid for 6 months never late, and the day he died (in that hospital) is the date on the letter stating his account was being turned over to this company. Due to my grief, and my attorney saying not to pay, I totally forgot about it until receiving a call today. I would be more than happy to have paid the hospital but not this agency. What alternatives do I have?

Actually, I disagree. There are numerous companies out there, that prey on the innocent, and try to instill fears into the folks that they are calling. I've rec'd a number of calls from someone saying they were Directv this week. Problem is, I have already talked to Directv 3 times this week, and while on the phone, I asked what they were calling me about, and they had no idea. They searched my account for notes, but to no avail. When I called the number back, the same girl answered, that left me a message. I actually answered her call once, and all I got was a number asking me to call back. No person on the line, and no explanation as to why they called. She yelled at me that I was stupid if I didn't believe she was Directv. She wanted all of my account information on the phone. If you are Directv, you should be able to look up my account based on my name, and phone number (which they obviously already have). Directv has always asked for the last 4 of my SS#, and that has not changed. They've never asked for my acct #. Point to this whole story...there are those that prey on others who are not wise enough to know the difference.

I am saddened that you have chosen to call people bad names. Of course we would never do that to you because we are too mate for such immaturity. But, for your information, not everyone paying this agency is a deadbeat or idiot. There are a great deal of people who have experienced illness after having lost their medical insurance.  There is nothing you can do IF you have to go the hospital and are uninsured. I hope this never happens to your perfect a**.

National Patient Bill of Rights

You are what wrong with this world.

Well, Torrey Pines actually set up a revolving credit loan without interest or fees for my hospital bill for removal of a cyst in my wrist.  I was told by my surgeon that my out of pocket would be around 2K even with Insurance, in which I agreed to.  Come to find out that does not include the hospital room he uses to perform the surgery which was an additional 10K!  After talking my financial situation with the Hospitals account manager, they lowered it down to around $7.5K.  I still thought it absurd cost for something I probably could have cut out with a box knife if my artery was not on top of it.  But she set up this credit loan with Torrey Pines and I am almost done paying the loan off.  Less than $300 to go, but they just started calling an absurd amount of times a few weeks back.  I just returned their call and left a message.  Hopefully I'll get to the bottom of what they need and its not something crazy.  

The bank in my opinion is legit, however, I'm not so sure the hospital charges $25.85 for some gauze + 12.00 for an aspirin is though.

Sad, you must be a bill collector. Hopefully you don't have to experience that someday. Be careful what you wish on other people. It may just turn up as a circumstance for you.

Don't let the crazy "your [sic] all idiots" guy fool you. There are some real problems with this company and I urge you to look into the matter before agreeing to anything over the phone.

This number is apparently (at least for me) Bank of Nevada. Mercy Health Center in Manhattan, KS sold all of their debts to this company who turned our bills into loans and want to start charging interest and fees on it. We never agreed to anything of the sort and we were NEVER late on our monthly payments, but the debt was sold anyway and now we're being treated like deadbeats. And we're being lied to -- some service reps say the debt was sold to Bank of Nevada, others say they're just the "billing company" for Mercy Health, and we never get a straight answer as to WHO Bank of Nevada even is.

The main point here is we never agreed to a loan, and we've paid all our other ER visit bills (when you go to the ER, you have a separate bill for the doctor, the ambulance, the oxygen, etc.) Of course, the insurance shelled out thousands to the hospital, too, and as I said, we were never late on the monthly payments for the remaining amount due. We still send our monthly payments to the hospital, who is the original debtor, but Bank of Nevada hates that. They want interest and fees, and because we're paying the hospital directly, they're calling us several times a day trying to "collect a debt."

....hope you never collapse, need a 750,000 heart surgery, and can't work!

I set up a payment play with my hospital, and they use this bank for the payment plans, I called back and they were extremely nice and helped to finish up my plan..

It is (Western Alliance Bank) they don't ever call me unless I miss a payment. It's for an old Hospital Bill.

Let's just be a cocky ass....

Actually, their are plenty of scams and telemarketers that call multiple times a day, especially if you sign up for a credit card. And you would only know the number if you did not pay a bill, or you are an annoying, frustrated collections agent. :)

We financed our medical bill through ClearBalance.  My message said that it was concerning a call we made to them.  We didn't make any calls and our bill is up to date.

Apparently this number belongs to a hospital collection agency. Made an ER visit a few months ago.  Every bill sent to me has been timely paid - ER, Physicians, and other stupid charges. - ALL paid. No reason for a collection agency to call me. They called me once and caller ID showed unknown, so I didn't answer it, no message left by them and, so far, no other calls.

SPAM

my turn today

Another day, another dozen nonsense calls that should be blocked, including this one. My online call-locking service that intercepts and disconnects bogus calls, vermin, rats and other robocaller spammers already had this number in its database, fortunately, and stopped this caller. Be forewarned.
