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.

Like the energizer bunny, the stupid at this company keeps going and going and going and going.
Difficult getting a real human, so try to setup an automated payment via the automated system. Well, not my first time with this company, so don’t trust them at all. Call back to verify, go through hoops and hurdles to get a real person. Nope, I only made a payment, ok, let me setup a payment plan. Ok, do you want to remove the payment you setup as that will not be added to your payment plan? What? Instead of paying x, you’ll be paying x+y…Yeah, let’s cancel that. Ok, set up the payment plan. Can I make the payment still? That wouldn’t work because of how the payment plan is set up.
Seriously? Is that really that difficult for the programmers to write for your systems?
I tell you, dealing with this company does make me feel a little better. For, even how addled I have gotten, I feel like if they can run a major business, so can I, 🤣

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].

my first thought too. wondering if one of the medical billing companies got hacked and now the hackers are sending out false billing notices.
Oh that has been on my mind, which is why I’m so leary about paying it. This time, however, I did call the hospital directly, and they claimed the same thing. They still just don’t understand that I’ve paid to Centura…In Denver…Which they’ve never been sent payments in Denver, and when I told them the city I’m from, they said I’d pay to Cincinnati, too…Which I’ve never done…
Regardless, it’s definitely correct. For if the hospital says so, then the hospital knows. But still, what? what? what?
