Business ProfileforThe Patriot Group

A complete response to this collection letter is attached (including numerous documents). In short, I had several surgical procedures done at the *********************** LLC in north ******* in 2021 and 2022 (dates were 12/13/2021, 12/27/2021, 02/14/2022, 02/28/2022, 03/21/2022 and 03/28/2022). These procedures were performed by *************************************************. ************** elected to perform these procedures at the *********************** LLC located at **************************************************************. My primary insurance was ******** and my secondary insurance was ********** Blue Shield Federal Employee Program (FEP). ********** Blue Shield coordinates coverage with ********. ********** covers the charges (including deductibles and co-pays) that ******** does not cover. In the case of these six surgical procedures, ********** paid a total of $691.54 (as detailed in the attached documents). Because the **************** Center, LLC was "out-of-network" for **********, they sent the checks directly to me so that I could pay *********************** LLC. My husband personally went to the *********************** LLC and handed them personal checks for these charges on two separate occasions. On 04/04/2022 we gave them personal check number 7379/1221 in the amount of $$126.60. That check cleared our checking account on 04/07/2022. Then on 08/02/2022 my husband hand delivered a second personal check to *********************** LLC. That was check number **** in the amount of $564.94. That check cleared our checking account on 08/09/2022. A copy of that check from the ***** Fargo Banking on-line web site clearly shows that this check was deposited by *********************** LLC into their *************** account. The total that we paid *********************** LLC was $691.54 ($126.60 + $564.94 = $691.54). Now, a year later, the Patriot Compliance & Recovery Services, *** (a collection agency) claims that we never paid this $691.54 and is threatening us with collection actions. Please note that we have never received a bill, statement, letter, email or phone call from the *********************** LLC or the Patriot Compliance & Recovery Services, Inc. It is odd that a year after we paid these charges in full, we receive a collection letter attempting to collect that same amount a second time. Please review and let us know if you can assist us in resolving this matter. Attachments.
