Missouri Medical Bill Assistance

Even if you get help from hospitals and doctors located in Missouri, you may find that some of your billers are located out of state. This is especially true if you are unable to pay your medical bills.

Your debts are shopped around the country to the highest bidder. Most debt collectors will aggressively pursue repayment through intimidating letters and harassing phone calls. It can be embarrassing if friends and family find out you are in financial trouble.

Instead of becoming a financial victim, take action to get the help you need. Contact a nonprofit service organization dedicated to serving Missouri residents.

Contact CCCS of St. Louis for financial counseling in Arnold, Cape Girardeau, Columbia, Florissant, Poplar Bluff, St. Charles and St. Louis. Call 1-888-656-2227.
