My Chart is a joke
Does anyone working at any SSMHC know how to answer a phone? I need to schedule a follow up visit, I got my MRI, now I cant schedule because no one will answer the phone nor will they return calls. I am still in pain and the MRI should reveal the cause, just need that follow up appointment so I can get some pain management. Don't get me started on My Chart.
Recommendation: get staffs personal cell phone number so you can get in contact with your DR
SSM Health - Dont
Absolutely unacceptable experience, deceptive billing practices and zero transparency. I visited SSM Health Urgent Care on 04/04, expecting exactly that. Urgent care, not an emergency room. However, when I received the bill, I was shocked to see that I was charged as if I went to the ER, with pricing to match. My bill also didn’t align with what my...

Every time, I mean Every time, over the past several years that I have used SSM (which was Saint Anthony's hospital where I was born at) I have always self out of pocket "paid in full" for all of my services, when I enter facility, or when I leave the Doctors office. But there is always an additional bill sent wanting more money above what is quoted prior...

My husband was prescribed a medication for weight loss that required a prior authorization. Our pharmacy faxed the paperwork twice but Dr Bansal denied receipt, so the pharmacy staff hand delivered it. Dr. Bansals office then refused to request a prior authorization from the insurance company using the excuse that they will not pay for it anyway and it...

Urine testing for bacteria
I am writing regarding a concern with AZO UTI test strips purchased from multiple retailers. They consistently show positive results for bacteria, but SSM Health states lab tests return negative. This discrepancy is causing confusion, and I seek clarification on the strips’ reliability or possible issues. Please contact me at to discuss this matter further. Thank you for your prompt attention. Sincerely, James Dowell [protected]

Colonoscopy at SSM St Mary's Gio Vuong
I was given the wrong instructions by the staff for the colonoscopy I partly received.
The instructions given resulted in an inadequate prep. I requested to speak to this Dr after the procedure. He told the nurse over the phone he had already seen and talked to me which he did not. My insurance will only pay for another colonoscopy every 2 years. I believe St Mary's owes me a colonscopy on them. I put all my trust in the facility and this particular Dr. and was totally disappointed. I don't believe my insurance should be billed either. I will contact them.
Desired outcome: Failed outcome for colonoscopy.
I won't be coming back to St. Marys.
I will receive my health care elsewhere
And I will tell everyone ì know my experience
I received 2 letters from SSM St. Mary's today. They both said basically the same thing. I won't say the namès of the people that sent them.
St. Mary's position is that they have 0 liability in how I followed their employees failed instructions. I think they were at total fault as the only reason I called their office was to find out if I should take my insulin the day of the procedure. That's when I was told I could have lunch the day before the procedure. I have a long history of having alot of polyps but now I won't be able to have another colonoscopy under my insurance for 2 years. This is totally due to a faulty staff and I am the one who must suffer their mistake.⁹ I can't believe their position on this matter.
I
I was given the wrong instructions by someone answering the phone in the clinic who apparently was not familiar with the proper procedures. I believe I would have someone more knowledgeable answering those important questions. The woman I spoke with told me it was perfectly fine to eat a lunch day before the procedure since I was diabetic. Turned out Dr Giao Vuong was unable to do a complete colonoscopy.
When I got back to the room I requested to speak to the Dr several times. The nurse told me he was on his way. He never showed up and I left with alot of unanswered questions. Dr Vuong told the nurse he had already spoken with me. This is totally untrue. I was then told he was on another case.
I noticed SSM St. Louis wasted no time billing my insurance for 3,606.50 which I will dispute.. I believe these charges should be reversed immediately. I think St Mary's should do the right and ethical thing to resolve this matter.
I am leaving alot of feedback about my experience.

Belittled, berated and gaslit
All Summer of 2023 I have had a kidney stone in me that has not moved. I have had multiple UTI's because the stone was not removed. On October 3rd, I had a stent put in me and was given another round of antibiotics to take for 2 weeks. They only gave me a tiny small dose of oxycodone for a whopping total of 2 days "Use only when needed". After I ran out...

After receiving care at an ssm health facility in Madison on 4/26/2023, without my insurance card with me, I called a few days later to give them my insurance information. About a week later I received a bill and called the billing department and gave them my insurance information again. Again a few weeks later received yet another bill called again and asked why my insurance still hadn't been billed and they stated that they didn't have my insurance information. At that point I had gotten injured at work so I was on crutches, but I got up hobbled into the room where my wallet was to get my insurance card to give them the information yet again and all of a sudden the woman on the phone began reading off my insurance information to me. Multiple bills since then and again giving my insurance information yet still my insurance never got billed and every time was told that they didn't have the information. Now my bill has gone to collections. Not okay.
Desired outcome: I want my insurance billed and something done or I will be suing. I have insurance bill it.
Customer service and Billing
First things first we were out state and when we registered our son they asked for medical insurance information and all that stuff on call and never mentioned that our medical insurance was out of coverage.
We had physical appointment month later nothing was mentioned. We had to do urgent care immediately on weekend because of some trouble my son was facing.
Post another month we start getting bills insane amount and when I call customer service they then say yes we are out of network and they are sorry no one provided that information which is idiotic.
Fast forward we go online to pay bill and we see the amount is more than what is in statement no idea from where charges are coming I am not able to see any details. This is really looting by SSM under medical division in Madison, WI. We paid what we got in our statement but we are not ready to pay extras that are just popping in account.
Desired outcome: Forfeit all charges and refund the amount paid. This all hassle is because of rude and incompetent customer agents.
Unprofessional and uncaring staff at SSM Health - not recommended for quality healthcare
I went to SSM Health for a check-up and was seen by a nurse practitioner who was not very nice. She seemed to have a bad attitude and didn't seem to care about me or my health concerns. I felt like she was rushing through the appointment and didn't listen to what I had to say. She also seemed to be very judgmental and made some comments that were not very nice.
Overall, I was not impressed with my experience at SSM Health. I would not recommend this place to anyone who is looking for quality healthcare. The staff seems to be very unprofessional and not very caring. I hope that they can improve their services in the future, but for now, I would suggest looking for another healthcare provider.
Unprofessional ER Staff at SSM Health: A Review
I gotta say, SSM Health ain't the best. Their ER staff is just plain unprofessional and pathetic when it comes to getting things done fast. I mean, come on, when you're in the ER, you need things done quick! They really need to do some internal investigation to figure out what's going on.
SSM Health's Billing Department: Poor Customer Service and Incompetent Accounting Skills
I gotta say, my experience with SSM Health's billing department has been less than stellar. Every time I call, it seems like they just hang up on me without even trying to help. It's like they don't even care about their job or the people they're supposed to be serving. And don't even get me started on their accounting skills - they can't seem to keep track of anything! It's like they're just making it up as they go along.
I mean, I get it - billing can be a tough job. But that's no excuse for treating people like garbage and not doing your job properly. If they want to get paid, they need to step up their game and start actually doing their job. It's not rocket science, people!
Overall, I wouldn't recommend SSM Health to anyone who values good customer service and competent billing practices. If you're looking for a healthcare provider that actually cares about you and your needs, look elsewhere. Trust me, you'll be better off.
