8:15am and they left a message so unclear that I knew it was a scam to try to get me to phone back saying?."I'm sorry
your message was unclear?." so there's a new way to get your curiosity of who the caller is answered.

No doubt! My husband had to go to the ER and has no Insurance.  I have read all comments written and share the same story... I agree 100%. This should definitely be investigated.
PRICKS!

they are a LAB.. which means they handle MULTIPLE hospitals and doctors. that poster just knew of the one hospital near them.

they contacted me for my husband who was in the hospital in Florida. where you are doesn't matter, the lab used matters.

SOURCE: I worked for medical health insurance and this was common sense.

i think it's bull that they can tell you it's a lab.. you're thinking they're trying to get a hold of you  to give you results of something.. but all they want is your money. i answered the phone this morning around 9 am cussing them out for waking me up for the 3rd day in a row. they call at ALL hours of the night and morning. it's simply ridiculous. half of us know we have medical debts, we just cant afford to take care of them, so we live in debt our whole life because we wanted to not be sick anymore. last time i went to brandon hospital, i waited for an hour in the waiting room in so much pain, only for them to merely (& literally) stick a stethoscope to my back for ten seconds, tell me i had bronchitis, without ANY other tests or anything, walk away from my bed (in the hall) and send me my discharge papers. they're a rip off anyway. i didnt even get a room. forget the hospital. i'd rather die at home than die in debt because of a p.o.s. hospital!

I had a problem with this company about 3 years.  They tried to charge my insurance company for reading labs that were computer generated.  So, what they would do was is was like they were double billing.  Why would you read and sign off of something generated by a computer.  I turned them into the Atty General.

Well I doubt that, cause I don't know where Brandon Hospital is or even heard of and haven't left Central Jersey in years.

So they have to be a collection company or someone selling something. cause not here,

They are a collection agency, but when they leave you a voicemail, they will tell you to call back from the area code in your town.

I received more than one message saying this was
from my medical insurance coverer - no way!
When I try to return the call, I am unsuccessful
in reaching anyone.  Sounds like scam to me.

I've received two calls from this number and both hung up when I answered. I called and left a message on their voicemail. I had services performed by Ruffolo Hooper and just finished paying them off, although the last payment was not reflected on my credit card yet, nearly two weeks after it was paid. It sounds like Ruffolo has a management problem in processing their payments. I'm going to call them to get to the bottom of this.

I don't  know anything about Bob - but he is correct ..I and family members  have gone to Brandon Regional Hospital, Brandon, FL over the past 20 years.. & Ruffolo Hooper  etc are well known Radiology types  they review X rays etc..  Now just do a Google search..they are listed in nearby Tampa..
However most hospitals it seems - quickly refer their account receivibles over to collection agencies.  I recall that even the IRS it was said did the same thing to collect back taxes..   My personal experience is that  - The problem is that these owed accounts are returned back to the client when the collector failed to collect within a certain period of time.. many times they still try to collect - when the account was already re-assigned to a "new" collection agency-  by the hospital, clinic or whatever..
Also many of these collection agencies use credit bureau reports which I believe are fraught with erroneous - sloppy data, which is information that has been co-mingled between two unrelated people - having the same name..
Have you ever run your own credit report and found addresses where you never lived at ??  I did !!    So that may account for some people getting calls who have never been to XYZ Hospital..  
In any event the caller never gave  me much info from the above number - (like other reported) so I will ignore it.. Until I sort it out with my insurance carrier..

It is a half azz collection agency that is scamming medicare. They claim that you owe money but will not provide who it is for. I know who the  Doctor is that scammed Medicare and had to leave town. Now he is using these bags of chit to harass people and threaten them that they will report it to a change your credit rating. They are cowards that need sued! They don't provide enough information yet!

Most of us pay our bills, BOB, but if you have no insurance it's obvious that you will pay another way, if the person in question has been seen tell the person exactly what was done, when, and why and who ordered it then the patient will know where their money is going. As for us that have no insurance or have never been to the hosptial that you people are calling for, get your facts straight and call the right patients, not the ones that have never been there or better yet don't even live in the area. Just get your act together and stop bothering people that you don't need to bother!

Ruffulo, Hooper and Associates is a company of medical experts at reading any kind of diagnostic tests done at an emergency room or hospital visit. They are used to confirm diagnosis by emergency room and hospital doctors. It's also a way to prevent missing something in the diagnostic test results by having another specialist read the test results.  They have been around for 20 years that I know of and have contracts with most hospitals. Many people ignore their bills because they have no record of being seen or examined by anyone named Ruffulo or Hooper.  They are probably calling about the bill they sent you.

Received a call from this number a few days after my wife had been to ER. Caller wanted to talk about a medical invoice but because my wife was not home  refused to give any info on where or when the charges had been incurred so I refused to give them any info. Caller informed me that they would have to turn this over to a collection agency to which I replied "do what you have to". Sounds like a scam to me.

Sorry Ruffulo, Hooper and Associates. You said " They are a lab and handle pathology reports for Brandon Hospital." I got 3 of these calls on my machine and  only the last one left part of a message. They claimed to be from my health insurance company accounting office.  
First I, live in south florida  and never heard of the hospital you mentioned.
Second...and your gonna love this part ...I dont have insurance.
Can you say scam
