SSM issued a notice of a data breach with their customer service company. Their response was that they were hacked. I know through my experience and phone calls with them that they took my social security number when they were not supposed to. Shortly after this phone call I received notice that someone applied for credit cards from ***************** and ***** Bank leaving multiple hard inquires on my credit report. When I addressed SSM about this they brushed it off and told me I couldn't prove it happened. Then in December the letter was released that there was a data breach between July 12 and July 25 2023. Those were the exact weeks I was on the phone with the employees giving my social security number to apply for Commerce credit--which I was informed by another employee that I shouldn't have had to give it to them because it was already in the system. Meaning, multiple employees took my social without actually applying me to Commerce and then tried to take credit cards in my name. SSM ignored me and denied everything. All of the calls I made to them were recorded so they should have it all on record, even the ones that prove the employees took my social over the phone when they didn't need to.Business Response

SSM Health ***************** Serivces offers patients the option of an extended payment plan through our Health Serivces Financing (HSF) Program with Commerce Bank. The Commerce (HSF) Line of Credit can only be used for balances at SSM Health. An account cannot be opened, and the funds sent to the patient or guarantor. There are safeguards in place due to no credit check. Commerce requires two forms of identification, the guarantor SSN and address for the last two years. It is standard process to ask the guarantor requesting the *** to verify these two forms of identification.
Information regarding the *********** breach was sent to every individual whose information was present in the impacted servers. If that individual believes they were potentially impacted, they are urged to call IDX at ************. Navvis or IDX will follow up with them after Navvis reviews the information to confirm if they were impacted. There is no connection between the data breach and the Commerce ***. The consumer is urged to contact ****** and discuss their concerns.
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to respond to this complaint.

The refund of $381.05 was processed and refunded back to the credit card used to make the original payments. It may take up to 30 days for the credit card company to post that refund to the consumer's account. The consumer will need to follow up with their bank for verification.

Date of service: June 24th-26th 2022.My daughter was sent to collections for unpaid bills for an echocardiogram. We never received any statements, "they had us on paperless billing," yet I was still getting sent bills for my services. We have still yet to receive a bill 9 months later. Until a collection agency called me to collect, I had no idea We even had any pending transactions for that service. They failed to do anything to remedy the situation. They also sent me more bills for my service 9 months later, I contacted my insurance company and they claim those services were not even sent to them. Ssm claims they did, but we never received an EOB for those services so it does not add up. I do not believe I owe these.Business Response

SSM Health's default billing option for My Chart users is paperless billing. Notifications are based on the users preferences (email, text, phone call, etc.). Both dates of service were billed to the members insurance and both have payments and adjustments indicated on the statements. Both balances are valid for the services provided and both balances remain ************** responsibility.
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to respond to this complaint.

Since I begin going to **** health clinic I have been continuously harassed and accused of drug addiction when I am not a drug addict.I have never been anything but as clear as day and honest about anything about myself with these people and what are they do accuse me of trying to get painkilling drugs for pleasure.When I go to them for actual real help they misdiagnosed me multiple times and again accused me of trying to get painkillers. Because I dont shave because I dont have short hair because I dont work 9 to 5. Im a self-employed author these people have continuously harassed me ridiculed me and shamed me and not provided help for me and charged me thousands of dollars.Ive been sick from Covid for eight weeks I called them and explain to them that I have a urinary tract infection and I need antibiotics. They absolutely lied to me. I called a week later when they told me they couldnt help after I got COVID again.The staff was extraordinarily rude. Beyond rude. They should all be fired. I suspect they should work in an animal yard putting animals to sleep.Id like a refund my money. Id like an apology letter. And Id like restitution for $150,000.To get the antibiotics I needed all I had to do was fill out an application online and pay some $60 The absolute most horrific experience Ive ever had in my life are dealing with the women that live in the city. Absolute BS. I am in the middle of a case where the manager of my cant I just got fired for also falsely accusing me of things.Business Response
