Odd text message, a phishing scheme or other?

I just got this text message that was supposedly from a hospital or radiology company that said something about a bill that was due and contact information. My husband says it's probably a phishing scheme. I wonder though if someone is giving out my cell phone number and using when having medical procedures done so they cannot be found afterwards? I have also had several doctors offices call my number to confirm appointments. I told them that I am not that person so they need to find out their patient's REAL phone number because this isn't it! It makes me worry that someone has decided that my number is a good number to give out. Then I started thinking that "would a radiology department be sending out text messages?" That doesn't seem right to me. I'm leaning toward a scam of some sort. What do you all think? Have any of you had this happen?
