  This concern had been submitted by this individual via our website and I contacted the office that would have handled his bills.  

  They replied to be, stating the following: "****** is no longer a client along with his wife who's in the same situation.... all bills have been sent out correctly and the balance is coming from his previous Spend Down... same with his wife. I can give him a call back again. I've just informed of this multiple times."

  She followed up later with this additional information: "Update - I just spoke with them . Everything should be all set."

  As an additional piece of information, the protocols around billing when someone is on a ******** Spend Down can be confusing but are required to be compliant with the payor rules.  Hopefully he understands now and is satisfied.

  Thank you, and if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach out.

  I went back on straight ********,then I contacted Riverbend  to make sure the billing goes to ******** to get paid,before all the bill was just sitting there and not getting paid.Now the billing place change their minds and said the bill is all set and now I don't have a bill.They called me about this after letting them know my ******** is open again.They weren't communicating with me until now,that wasn't fair.I was trying my best to stay in contact with them.I was only asking billing to work with **** really felt at first they were ignoring me and not being helpful!I'm on SSDI ,I know ******** supposed be helpful.

  I felt I wasn't asking for much!

  I thought it was in their best interest  so Riverbend can get paid.Not sure why I that bill was from this year , because I had no services this year.I quit Riverbend last year 2023,I thought that **** wasn't right,I should of never gotten that bill,I felt I was over being fooled.I felt I was being over charged where I had no services that month,I felt they were just making up a bill.

  Just saying thank you.  We appreciate the care that you take in these matters. Hopefully ****** is satisfied. (It sounded to me like he had spoken directly with staff and had the matter clarified, so he may have just dropped it at that point.)  Thanks again!

  Our ****************** has been made aware of this and they have let me know that as of this afternoon this bill has been written off.  We had thought that we had explained the process sufficiently when ******************** last complained. The bills don't stop automatically in these situations.  But now, having written it off, he should receive nothing further from us.  Thank  you.

  Dear BBB,Thank you for the Humanly possible to help me to communicate with River bend.I read the out come,It was confusing to me when they kept sending bills.It truely felt I wasn't finished ,If the bill was all set I felt they should be done with it.To me it felt they weren't taking care at their end .I wanted it to be known I did everything I was supposed to,I did my best calling up Riverbend,I did communicate With the insurance about retroactive the bill,they told me they would take of it,they mentioned I'm all set,I don't have to worry about the bill any more.I felt the insurance heard me out.They only got the bill thru me when I sent it myself to get paid,if the bill gets written off,I'm  comfortable  with that,as long the bill is all set to my understanding .

  That's my recent finding what I read from you.It isn't easy to talk to Riverbend billing because their answer machine is always full .

  Thank you for helping me to know the bill is all set,mostly appreciated, sincerely,**************************;

  On or about Thanksgiving of 2021, I went to Riverbend on warren st. in Concord for a referral to a detox program. Upon entering, I specifically asked if all was being covered by Medicare and was told yes, all would be covered.
  In March of 2022, I received a letter from an old insurance company which stated that they had received a claim from Riverbend, but that since I was no longer a client, they denied the claim.
  In July of 2022, I received a bill of over $400 from Riverbend. I provided my new insurance information, which should have been obtained by staff on intake but was not.
  I spoke to people at the facility twice and told them that I refused to pay the bill because I was LIED TO when told that all would be covered by Medicare and that the intake personnel were incompetent.
  I continue to receive the same bill every month and am tired of it. It has now been almost a year since this event. I was deceived, given inadequate service, and would like resolution by dismissing the bill.

  This client is disputing a service at Emergency Services as well as an intake at the HUB. Neither service was paid by Medicare as the provider, in both cases, was not an LICSW or above. Her secondary insurance did not pay because it's a supplemental plan and will only cover what Medicare covers. It is very unlikely that she was told at the time that things would definitely be covered by Medicare as staff are well aware that Medicare does not cover many ES services due to the licensure of the clinician. So, the bottom line for us is that these services were billed correctly and what's reflected is a valid balance. However, since the client is refusing to pay, we will write off these charges. (And as of the end of the day today, this has been done.)
