Could it be a scam?

The NHS will never ask you to pay for NHS treatment over the phone, and hospital staff won’t ask for your bank details, PIN or passwords. Be wary of anyone who claims to be from the NHS and:

asks for payment or bank details;
pressures you to act immediately;
sends a text or email link asking you to “confirm” personal or financial details.

If in doubt, hang up and call the switchboard back yourself. Report suspicious calls to Report Fraud on 0300 123 2040, and forward suspicious texts to 7726.

For urgent medical advice that isn’t an emergency, call NHS 111. In an emergency, always call 999.
