The following details are for the protection of the unwary people existing out there.
If you are contacted by mail by someone you do not know or have never heard of one should use extreme caution. There are several companies who send out mailing to the general public expressing a so called desire to purchase your property. Most of these people are simply touring the tax records in your area and sending out letters in a random fashion. Their goal is to purchase your property at far below the current value of the property. They will pretend to be trained in the art of giving a fair appraisal, trained to pull a con on you. in todays completely depressed housing market there are many such swindlers working at any given day. There are examples such as uglyhouse.com and one other that has recently arrived on the scene. A person calling itself Kristi Gaffery and providing the phone number (417) 860-3916 using e-mail at kgaffery@hotmail.com . One should use due diligence before getting involved with these types.

In the state of Missouri there are two large hospitals Cox Health and Mercy aka St. Johns. These entities on a regular basis utilize billing techniques which are completely designed to cheat their patients. This is performed primarily on older citizens as they are sometimes more easily intimidated into paying. Even though they know the people have insurance they will bill the patient direct without billing the insurance company. By using pressure on these people they will sometimes get them to pay and the people do not actually owe the amount billed. This is especially true when it involves Medicare, as the payback is lower with Medicare. They have at times actually turned the patients over to collections without actually sending out a single bill. They simply utilize calls on telephone to threaten the people. Both entities Cox and Mercy have been caught stealing millions from Medicare, nothing is ever done as stealing is part of American culture. These large corporations have the same power to detain American citizens against their will, for as long as them deem necessary. This being to pad their bill, this came about after the 911 nonsense, now these large companies have the same power as FEMA and the Red Cross, to detain citizens against their will. Most Americans are unaware of the far reaching power these establishments now possess. Most citizens still believe they actually have "Rights". There is actually no government agency you can complain to as it all falls under the umbrella of Homeland Security. There are actual detention camps already set up in Missouri to house American citizens. One camp is in Fort LeonardWood Army facility and another is in or close to a Air Force base near to Kansas City Missouri, this being the so called closed base of Richards-Gebaur, located south of Kansas City. For most people in the areas concerning these large hospitals they are at their mercy, no pun intended. All of the doctors were forced to work for these companies when the large units started taking over the health industry. Make no mistake in the US health care is simply a business where the bottom line is all that is important, the good of the patient be dammed.
Cox Health encounter:
On or about 5/11/2015 a senior citizen entered a division of Cox system for an ultra sound to be performed. The first thing the admitting department ask for is a picture I.D. and a copy of insurance card or facsimile of same. They process these items before going any farther. The test was completed although not without some degree of difficulty. It seemed the person performing the test was not very proficient at this procedure and subsequently had to acquire the assistance of an older employee. After an elongated process they Cox employees were satisfied with their results, apparently this was a training procedure for the first employee. At this point it appeared to be a proper procedure, the test results were sent to the requesting doctor and in good time the results were made available to the patient.
The patient waited for the resulting bill to be sent to him for him to pay. There was never a bill sent to the patient, instead he started receiving phone calls requesting payment. This is normal operating procedure for Cox Health and Mercy aka St. Johns. Cox knew full well this patient was a Medicare patient and they knew his age, 65, their procedure is to try to intimidate these older citizens into paying their bill before allowing Medicare to pay their end. Medicare does not pay the total amount commonly billed by these thieves and it is more profitable to fleece the senior citizens for the entire inflated amount. Many times this works as many seniors are getting slow in the mind and worry about these people taking their homes and the like. Many seniors have been programmed into believing this nonsense and so wind up paying these thieves. I would compare these thieves to the Cancer Treatment Centers Of America one of the largest con artists in the medical profession, if you want to call it a profession.
The elderly patient still has his facilities and they appear to be working just fine. He wrote to the CEO of Cox Health a Steve Edwards and received a form letter of sorts thinking the man for his ,as Mr. Steve called it a "Spirited Correspondence" and forwarded it to another section of the corporation. This being a David Strong VP and Jake McWay Sr VP Chief Financial Officier. There was no response from either of these individuals, however there was a form response from a Paul Weaver Director Patient Financial Services Cox Health. Whew, what a lot of highly paid , and I am sure overworked fellows. In checking the first two they apparently spend a lot of time on the golf course as they live in a golf community a place called Rivercut. The listed address of Steve Edwards is 5976 S. Parkhaven Ln. Springfield MO and the address of Paul Weaver is 6292 S. Weatherwood TRL also of Springfield MO. These highly paid gentlemen are passing this off as a simple matter of the senior citizen not having had his current information updated, as though it was the responsibility of the older man to enter the business directory of Cox Health and update his records. This was the very first visit to Cox Health and so there was no old records to update for this senior citizen. This matter has now been as they say, dealt with and buried in the never ending piles of useless paperwork involving Cox Health Systems.
These large companies will continue on doing this same act to other elderly people, there are no consumer watchdogs in the corrupt state of Missouri. In all likelihood they will continue to attempt to collect from this older man regardless of what they collect from Medicare. The legal organized companies like these took lessons from the Mafia of the old days, they are just lacking the broken kneecaps and other forms of torture.
