You folks should consider getting hold of patient accounts and pay them on YOUR terms. My wife and I both just got nailed with garnishment from Salem hospital collections. We are stopping this by declaring bankruptcy and we cannot pay them on THEIR terms. If we had talked to them and sent a little at a time they would not be able to sue but hindsight is 20/20. That's why I am letting you know.

I was always the kind of person that thought that a hospital would never come after you, instead righting the debt off as a loss come tax time. We were sadly mistaken.

Keep in mind folks, we didn't owe that much, only 2,000 dollars over the last 5 years...

I get calls from them and the voicemail is automated

I received a call from 503-581-1747, but didn't have a chance to answer it. No message was left. Not sure who this is.

Keep getting calls from 503 581 1747. They never leave a message and I'm tired of dealing will random calls from people I don't even know.

This is the collections department of Salem Hospital.

Why don't you Salem Hospital people stop calling and just send the bills instead. I can't pay my salem hospital bills because I don't know what I owe. Right?

Isn't it harassment if someone keeps calling you? I feel harassed by you people. That's odd because I just got a call from you people today. STOP calling me!!!!! I refuse to answer.  So flippin mad at you and wish I could report you. :-(

Den, if you guys are so concerned about people paying their bills why can't you just send the bill in the mail? It's more convenient for me and I NEVER have the time to talk on the phone. What a waste of my time.

I agree with annonymous person. I don't have time and yes it is harassment. Just send the bills please.
