I had a bill after going to ER. They suggested to apply for financial assistance which I did. They sent me a letter that I qualified for 100% financial assistance. However, after that, they kept sending me the same bill. When I asked why they didn't honor their own financial assistance they approved me for, they replied that if I didn't have insurance, the bill would be written off. But because I did have insurance and owed only a copay, the approved assistance wouldn't hold. I wish they told me about it before I even applied, since collecting all numbers they were requesting in financial assistance application was a hassle.
Anyway, I didn't pay the bill. They sent it to collection. Now the debt collector sent me a text message with the link to pay the balance. Is this a new form of debt collection? Are they not supposed to send me a letter in the mail? So far, I 've ignored their text message.
