So in March I had a doctor's visit at an urgent care which total was $400. They had my old insurance on file, so I guess when they tried to submit it didn't go through. I was alerted to this by a bill I received a few weeks later, so I emailed the clinic to update my insurance info, I still have these emails with the date in them, back in July. I honestly forgot about the bill because I have so many other medical bills on autopay.
1 week ago I got a letter from collections stating they have taken over the $400 debt, and I have 90 days to dispute or it's valid. I'm well within the window, but what's my recourse? Call the urgent care and produce the emails where I updated my insurance to be billed for the service? Call the debt collectors and tell them, it call my insurance company.
I work nights so for the last few days I've been unable to call but now I have time off to sort this out. I know it's my fault for letting it go to collections, honestly I ignore most of my paper mail because I do autopay online for all my other medical expenses, so I get paper receipts and usually stash them away unopened for a little while.
