<prompt> Human: I just posted this as a reply but thought I should make my own post. I went to an urgent care for which I have coverage and paid the appropriate copay at the desk. Was seen briefly and given a prescription for some medicine. 7 months later I received a letter from a collections agency alleging failure to pay. I call and they say they billed insurance and myself 3 times. I never received anything. I call my insurance company and they never received anything. I tell collections and they say they will send it back to Dr. They bill it as a Dr office visit and insurance refuses to pay. I give collection company my receipt of payment to the urgent care facility and they contact them about it. I received a call back stating the bill is too old and they wont rebill it correctly. I tell them I cant pay it then and that theres sufficient evidence that neither myself or the insurance company received a bill. Same story when I talk to urgent care. They tell me I need to pay out of pocket. I threaten a lawsuit with urgent care and they tell me they are stopping communications and that the bill is no longer theirs. I call back to collections where I find that they dont own any of the bills and that they are an extension of that hospital that collects unpaid bills and never buys debt under any circumstances. I told them I was going to file a lawsuit if they couldnt prove they billed my prior to this. They agree they cant and claim they cant drop the bill but tell me they will not report. Can I be sure this wont pop up later on?TLDR: I got a second bill from a location I didnt visit from collections when Dr claimed insurance nor myself paid for over 7 months. Insurance company confirmed they never actually received anything.  <response>: rlegaladvice
