The bill included fee for \u0027brief emotional/behavioural assessment\u0027

The New York Post

detailed why U.S. doctors can charge for such an assessment, but it appears this young woman did not get the service she was billed for. “A brief emotional/behavioral assessment is a mental health screening that tests for signs of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder , depression, anxiety, suicidal risk or substance abuse,” the Post wrote. “It is usually issued as a questionnaire that is often handed out and filled in before seeing the doctor.

“Doctors have been testing and charging for the test since 2015 when it became a federal mandate as part of the Affordable Care Act ‘to include mental health services as part of the essential benefits that must be included in all insurance plans offered in individual and small group markets.’”Article content
