WhiteWitch 720 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 It says the provider was billed $40 for a mental health screening. This is a flame bait post with little to react on. I want to see the âpatient responsibilityâ section because I bet it was a copay since they clearly had insurance. Which means the insurance paid that, not her sister. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their rates also depend on individual insurance companies. If they can make a deal with an insurance company, they bill for as much as a insurance company will cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of these charges have nothing to do with mental health. Clearly they forced an assessment on her bc she was crying during her physical. They didnât even address why she was crying. This is BS lmao Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a feeling when I saw this title that it was misleading. It makes it sound like it was some kind of a fine charged for her crying  They charged because a service associated with that crying was given  I'm not saying it isn't over priced or defending for profit healthcare before everyone comes at me. I'm simply saying what the title implies isn't what happened  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
