Columbia Mental Health is a company in Connecticut that uses a person's medical handicap against them for financial gain. A missed appointment leads to a $70 charge which is then sent to multiple billing agencies to recover.in my own personal experience, an appointment was missed in May the bill was paid by credit card in May.in June a collections letter was received and in July I was asked to pay it yet again. (Please note that I have not used their services since April).
The Patient:
1. First, Receives a Bill for $70
2. Second, Receives a "Collections Letter" for $70 via Postal Mail
3. Third, Appears at their Appointment and is informed about an Outstanding Bill of $70
*Upon calling both billing phone numbers, they are told that their $70 balance remains*
Clearly, this means that a patient can be charged 3 times unknowingly.in addition, they do not have the mental competence to realize it.
