— St. Louis Children's Hospital Patient Review"...my husband changed jobs and insurances. We began receiving bills from REMOVED, REMOVED and Children's Hospital. Some bills were in my name and some were in my husband's... we could not keep straight which bills were for which medical systems... When I called to make payment arrangements I was told it was already with the collection agency."
