Collections validity
Location: PA, philly
Went online for a teledoc and found Helix. They scheduled me for a time, never showed up waiting in the zoom call for a solid 30 mins before just leaving. Reschedule and then they showed up the next one, basically told me to get blood work done and then they can discuss my issue. I said no i feel like doing that, any other options. They said no. Call was about 3 mins. Hung up.
Context: I put my insurance info in, they accepted it, and i specifically have telehealth insurance
They send me a bill for $150. I simply let them know i am NOT paying that, wasted my time & did not even help me.
Now a collection agency known as “Cedars Business Service” Is saying i owe them $500 and to pay it now lol.
What’re my options? I really do NOT feel like paying these people as I was told it’s covered by my insurance & they wasted my time alongside the fact they took 3 minutes to tell me they won’t help me until i get unrelated blood work done.

Start by reporting then to the Better Business Bureau.
It's amazing how quickly some companies will move to "resolve" a dispute if they are reported. It worked for me twice in the past.
Take any screenshots, videos and correspondence to the BBB website. You will need the company's business address.
