They are calling telling me about a debt on collection but they don't want to tell me from what service or where, they ask my date of birth and Social. I think is a scam. Do you know about it?

I'm sorry, if they choose not to do that?  Do you know how much an uninsured hospital visit costs?  Try having a couple kids and getting in an accident while working minimum wage.

They keep calling my cell phone over and over but never leave a message!  Then if I do not answer the cell phone, they call my home phone and let it ring.  Goes to my answering machine with no message being left..  Very annoyed!  I know I owe money to a lot if different people because of being diagnosed with Breast Cancer.  You incur a lot of bills that way.  I can only split one paycheck so mant times!

I'm pretty sure if they called you a liar and told you that you were pathetic, they dont have a job anymore. Medical providers file your insurance as a courtesy and it is your responsibility to follow up on anything that your insurance company needs from you in order to pay. If you choose not to do that then of course you will have collection agency calling you. What do you expect?

heavy breather . very strange

It's this company:http://www.collectivelydifferent.com They are a Community Health Systems collections agency.

Just to mention that I was called on 7/24/2013, and adding this to my Recent Post from DetectiveGirl.
Thank You.

Yes, here's what to do. Let them call you but don't answer. The number they called from will appear on your cell phone Caller ID. Keep the number and then go and BLOCK THE NUMBER FROM YOUR CELL PHONE, THEY WILL NEVER BOTHER YOU AGAIN. Next time they call you it goes straight to a HANGUP SYSTEM and you don't even know they called, it's all done SILENTLY. THEN YOUR C3LL PHONE WILL ALERT YOU THAT YOU HAVE A VOICEMAIL, BUT WHEN YOU GO TO RETRIEVE IT, THERE IS NOTHING THERE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T LEAVE A MESSAGE.
I DID THIS AND IT WORKS AND I HAVE BLOCKED ABOUT 10 OTHER NUMBERS.
GOOD LUCK....

medical bill collector, when they fix the system ill pay my bill =)

had inguinal operation at local hospital ( not lapriscope) actual 8 inch incision . 45 mins after waking from the operation was put in wheelchair and rolled out side. waited all day for ride
home. during that time i picked up infection that landed me back in the hospital 3 days later.
and it was 13 days to discharge for a problem they created ,, that was 7 months ago still am having problems ( operation FAILED due to infection ) and they are trying to collect through these folks that call no less than 3 x a day morning, noon and night !! have looked for legal help and have been told not enough money to be made on that kind of case sorry .. the hospital bill was turned over to collections a week after i was discharged , there answer to that was that the money owed has to run its course that"s how it is.

I am guessing that this is the collection agency for Community Health Systems again.  I was in a car accident that was not my fault. The other party was found at fault, received citations, and has automobile insurance. They seem to not understand that I am not responsible for this hospital bill. They have been told for years, and they continue to call and want my hospital copay.  I even have a letter that was mailed to me (written by their corporate office) that says I am not responsible for this bill, yet they continue to call me.  Just not real smart people when it comes to common sense in their job.  If they can't talk to their employer about an account, that's not my problem.  They need to get it together.  I've told them at least a dozen times, yet they continue to call back as if they have never communicated with me or their owner (CHS) about this account. Doh!

This company is wholly owned by the medical practices and hospitals who use them to collect.  It does not get reported to credit bureaus.  Rarely does the collection agency know what arrangements have been made between the patient and the original doctors or hospital.  It's a pretty pathetic arrangement in which there are many flaws and the right and left hands don't communicate well.  If even one person doesn't check something on their checklist, it goes to collection, often even if your insurance has paid and you haven't even received a statement on your portion of either the deductible or co-pay.  I've sent PASI scathing letters and had the original doctors' billing company call back and eat crow so you actually can get somewhere with them.  Just go back to the original source and skip dealing with PASI.

Amazing, they said they didnt get a 20.00 payment from February. Well this is my co pay. I have been to the doctor 7 times since then and payed ever bill that i recieved. You would think if the 20 dollars was missed it would have showed on the next statement. Not so, they said they dont rebill. Dont owe nothing and dont like the fact my doctor would turn me over to a collection agent without notifying me.
Good luck.

Called @ 4:44 PM today, according to the caller ID.  To my knowledge, I don't owe any medical debt, and I have all the EOP's for the last 5 years as backup.  They didn't leave a message.  I hope they're trying to scam me, because if I'm able, I'll sue them.

Thanks for the info everyone..  I certainly won't be answering this call for sure now!

Called at 8:30 AM - no message.  Caller now blocked

The same thing happened to us.  We did not receive letter or any thing from Bluefield Regional Hospital.  One night they called us and said we were being suided over $19.00.  This is a shame that the economy is so bad that the hospital can't mail out bills.

Professional Account Services, Inc  medical collections

My husband was diagnosed with COPD. We  still owed  slightly over $12.00 dollars after the test  from back in  Sept 2010. We did not get a satement and  to top it off  we were turned in to collections?????????? We own a company and   as soon as I submit this  I will call the Drs office about the collections  they  turned us into.

Called me on my cellphone. No message left.

called left no msg. I owe no one so unknown why they call

If they had real caller ID I might answer.....this always using 'Toll Free Call' junk makes sure I will never answer.

It's a medical collection agency.  My insurance refused payment to my doctor's office until they had received some further information from me.  So my wonderful, note the sarcasm, doctor's office sent the fee to collections.  This ignorant company called me a liar when I told them this and told me to stop being pathetic and pay my obligations.  Quite frankly, even if my insurance company refuses to pay it, it is so not getting paid.  And I have already changed doctors.  This company has been judged regarding professionalism and found lacking at best.

It is a medical collection agency called Professional Account Services.  They seemed nice on the phone.  No problems with the call.

It's a medical collection agency.

called my cell number I answered no one said anything..I hung up
