      On February 7, 2024 I was seen at Primary Healthcare on Chinden and Linder. After that date, I received mail requesting payment. I responded by mailing back a form with my insurance number. I have not changed insurance companies, but another Doctor’s office kindly informed me that my insurance company changes the member ID. I sent the corrected information to Primary Health. In the following months, Primary Health failed to submit a claim, but did forward my bill to Bonneville Collections for nonpayment. Then, I spoke with Bonneville Collections and provided their employee with my insurance information. She stated she would send it back to Primary Health to submit to my insurance. On December 5th, I answered a phone call from Bonneville Collections. I have multiple medical bills for my family of 4. I was attempting to gather the information about which bill the call was regarding. The employee who answered the phone was hostile to me. I attempted to explain, but she started telling me that I was not answering calls, emails, etc. I hung up. She was lying to me. I have spoken to this company. I confirmed tonight that Primary Health has never submitted this claim. I’ve spoken with my insurance company, Bonneville Collections, and Primary Health. I am awaiting calls from the latter two. Yes, I have medical bills that I cannot pay. I cannot afford to pay extra because these companies can’t get their own stuff straight.

      As a collection agency, we work on behalf of creditors to resolve balances, but payment responsibility ultimately rests with the patient or guardian, even when insurance billing is offered as a courtesy.
      Our records show that we spoke with you about this account, and you indicated you would contact your insurance directly. When we followed up, you mentioned having multiple bills and ended the call.
      We’re happy to assist in resolving this matter and encourage you to continue working with your insurance provider. In the meantime, we’re available to discuss flexible payment terms.

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because: if I pay this money none of it goes towards my medical deductible. Primary Health never submitted this claim to my insurance. Yes, I absolutely hung up on Thursday evening. I was at work, and I was attempting to get specific infomation on which medical bill this was regarding. Your employee became aggravated that I was requesting details. She launched into a rant about how I don’t answer my phone, email, letters, etc. I have multiple bills out in collections. I don’t carry around these documents all the time. I left work shortly after that and went home. I checked my medical insurance claims website to verify that Primary Health didn’t submit a claim for February 7, 2024. In fact there were other claims submitted during the year by Primary Health, but this particular claim was not. 

      It’s odd that you tell me you have nothing to do with Primary Health in this situation, because I have spoken to you previously regarding this bill. Previously, I spoke with a better customer service representative from Bonneville Collections who listened and took down my insurance information. She stated that she would try to resolve this by speaking with Primary Health. On Thursday, that’s what I was trying to ascertain from the other employee. Once she gave me information and I realized it was this particular claim, I tried to ask if Primary Health had submitted it. I didn’t ever have a chance to explain, and I wonder why she appeared to have no notes about my previous conversation. My insurance provider ended up being able to hopefully rectify this situation. I called back twice but you didn’t answer the phone. I left 2 messages requesting a manager call me back so I could explain what I found out. Apparently you don’t care. I spoke with Primary Health and Regence insurance company. I did not hear anything back on Friday. No one from Bonneville Collections Customer service has called me. Regence took the information I provided and said they will call Primary Health directly. 

      Please tell your collections agent not to yell at people who answer their phone. No amount of her yelling is going to produce money to pay you. It only sends blood pressure and heart rate through the roof. That leads people to have to go back to the hospital and end up with more medical bills. I guess that’s your business model.

      Sincerely,

      ******** *******

      Business Response

      We appreciate the opportunity to respond to this complaint. Upon review, we are unable to identify the specific account being disputed, as we have identified more than one account that may pertain to the complainant. We kindly request that the complainant provide additional information to help us confirm the disputed account.

      It is important to note that our records do not reflect any request for debt validation from the complainant. Additionally, as a third-party debt collector, Bonneville Collections does not hold direct contracts with consumers. Instead, we act on behalf of the original creditor who holds the contractual agreement with the complainant.

      Based on the language of this complaint, it appears to align with a credit repair matter, which is beyond the scope of the Better Business Bureau's purview.
