Learn MoreI received at text reminding me of an appointment at Boston Endoscopy. I called to let them know I never had an appointment scheduled there. The receptionist said to just ignore the text reminders. I was not on their books to have an appointment. I just want to make sure my insurance was not billed for some appointment I never had in the first place.
