Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me in any way with my dilemma. A medical facility is trying to charge me close to $400 because I supposedly didn't pay for 2 of my visits to see my doctor. I didn't receive this bill until 2 weeks after I stopped seeing this doctor. I had insurance during both visits. The oldest one was from 06/2018 and the most recent was 01/2019. I saw the doctor in 03/19 the last time. It was never brought up any other time I saw the doctor. This one time my insurance was being updated and they weren't able to Bill me and told me that if I didn't pay them I wouldn't be able to see the doctor so I paid out of pocket. So how they missed two separate visits when my insurance was working fine baffles me. Every time I've called to speak to the person in charge of billing the lady at the front desk tells me that both people from billing are on vacation and they have no way to contact them. I've worked customer service all my life and I know they're just giving me the runaround. They said they would pause the bills that they're sending, but they haven't. They are sending one every 2 weeks, but won't let me talk to anyone from their billing department. This has been going on for 4 months. I have left voicemails but nobody calls me back and the 2 people are still on "vacation". Is there anything I can do? I don't want it to affect my credit or it to be sent to a collection agency.
If I can get pointed in the right direction it would be very helpful. I don't want to have to pay for something that I've already paid for.
Thank you.
