On the 13th of February, I visited an urgent care for an issue I was having, got treated and paid my bill once I was all done, which was for a bit under $200.
Yesterday, I got an invoice texted to me from another "medical group" for $140. My name and address are on the invoice, and even the date of my visit to the urgent care clinic. I called the urgent care clinic and they said they handle all billing in house, so that's not them.
Another thing I noticed at the end of the message was "Reply STOP to opt out" — I don't see that often with messages like this, so that was another red flag.
Further inspection of the invoice showed about 4 different contact numbers. I called the one they sent with the text, and the menu gave 2 options: pay or talk to a representative. The person I talked to had a heavy Indian accent and couldn't (or wouldn't) tell me what company he worked with or what he was billing me for. He wouldn't give me any info without me giving up info first.
All around, I'm pretty sketched out, but if it is serious, I'd rather wait to get something in the mail.
