Quickly verify the source before returning the call. Many patients see the Providence Health number and assume it’s a routine reminder, but scammers sometimes mimic clinic numbers. Look for consistent branding, a clear purpose—usually a medical appointment or test notification—and a professional voicemail script. If the message asks for personal data or payment, hang up and call the official clinic line you already have on file. Keep a log of the call time, caller ID, and any reference numbers; that makes follow‑up with your provider easier. Staying cautious protects your health information and prevents unwanted spam.
If the call is indeed from a healthcare provider, it would be a legitimate reason for contact.
I've had a similar experience, receiving a call and voicemail as a patient at Providence, which seems poorly thought out on their part, as it resembles a scam call.
It's worth noting that this number belongs to Providence Health, and they use it to remind patients about upcoming tests and appointments
This call originated from Providence Health & Services, appearently my doctor's office.
