Update: 7-30-23
Added images to an album at imgur with proof showing the bill has the correct website written three times on the bill. Also, showing the address to both locations (As each other claim the other does not exist), and google maps showing Centura locations.
End Update
I don’t know a good spot to put this, but maybe this would be a good spot to just vent…It adds to the mental strain that’s just absolutely bonkers…Plus, might be something for people to think about if they happen to go to the same hospital business a city over. Just 45 minutes away. Shown as an affiliate of the same business on their own website. 😶
Anyway, I saw a doctor a year ago, got x-rays and had an EKG. Fine. Will get a bill…Fine.
Got a bill in January, 6 months after from Centura…In Ohio…Not Colorado…What?
The statement says to send a payment or log in to their website. I log into their website, enter the account number…Nada…I do it again…Nada…Again, and again, and again…Nothing. So I call the number on the website (as I trust that over some odd bill from an address that I’ve never seen from this company before). The representative had no knowledge of it. The account didn’t exist.
I even checked mycentura account, and I owe nothing…What? What? What?
Well, just yesterday I got a call from this questionable Centura company…finally…And guess what? They don’t understand what I’m talking about…It’s never been that way…I would never pay to Centura in Denver. Their billing offices are in Cincinnati. How the heck can there be two completely separate entities of the same bloody business?
Holy fuck!
Sorry for the cursing, but unfortunately, this warrants it. It’s just so idiotic.
End rant.
[2nd attempt to post this. Removed some curse words and the h word as maybe the filters are a bit wonky or purposefully overly sensitive].
A few times now i’ve gotten a completely unexpected bill from a dr visit, they never told me there would be an out of pocket bill let alone how much it would be or anything when i was at the dr, so i just don’t pay it. Iirc if it’s less than $400 it won’t affect your credit, and it’s always been a case where if i had known it would cost so much i just wouldn’t have done it. The whole system is bs but if you’re not even gonna give me a chance to give fully informed consent i don’t feel bad not paying
