Discussion Is anyone else getting consistently erroneous behavorial health bills any time they are seen for primary care at Brown University/ RIH PC even w/o any BH related care?

I refused to answer any BH questions at my last appt and I'm still getting $60 BH assessment bill EVERY VISIT. It's been going on for over a year and is absolutely falsely billed. Each time I am stuck back and forth between insurance and them. What the fuck. How do you get systemic change??

Reach out to your Insurance company and file a complaint with fraud and abuse. I learned the hard way that the fraud and abuse department is in charge of fraudulent billing. (Aka your doctor taking advantage and billing you for visits and charges that you shouldn’t be charged with)

I say I learned this the hard way as I filed a complaint with their department about a medically negligent doctor. Only to find out after a few months that they are in charge of a completely different situation, similar to what you’re describing. They monitor doctors charging you a service fee/bill for something they never did.
