If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately. Sarasota Emergency Associates is an emergency room, commonly called an E.R., providing critical and life saving healthcare services to patients throughout theSarasota area through their location at1700 S Tamiami Trail. They are required by law to be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even on national holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
While their availability can be enticing, you should really only visit an E.R. if you absolutely have to as they can be quite expensive and have much longer wait times than an walk-in urgent care center. In fact, some insurance carriers have begun to refuse paying for emergency room visits that were in fact non-emergent. An interesting fact that about 50% of emergency room diagnosis could be addressed at a quicker, less expensive urgent care center.

4 years after my daughters er visit at SMH I get a call from a collection agency looking for payment for $37.99. Never received a a bill or call regarding this balance from ER associates so I start calling to see what is going on and to have this removed from my credit report as an error. The most unhelpful bunch of office staff!. The receptionist says they cannot do anything and I must call their billing company. Their billing company says they followed protocol by sending 3 statements (to the wrong address) and then right to collections. It's not their policy either to call anyone on balances. I call SMH who says they sent the correct information to SEA. SEA still insists they cannot verify that I never received a bill. She cannot help. No one can talk to the collection agency to rescind this account because it has been sold. Most unhelpful group of people I have ever had to deal with! I truly hope no one else has to deal with the incompetence of them/their billing company.
