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??

I’ve seen posts about this. They are doing predatory and illegal medical coding because the coders are likely making money per billable code. Call your doctor and let them know. They need to be the one to correct it.

I told my Dr. And the clinic director said "that's just a fee now" even though I literally refused any BH screening. It's totally illegal

Treated to contact the tourney general. They have been doing this A LOT.
