![]() So I tried calling them again and threatened them with legal action -and the rep put me on hold to talk to a "supervisor". They said they had turned it over to collections and thus it was now out of their hands. The first time I called MBB they were not cooperative. As such I told them I should not be responsible for the debt. I believe MBB are the ones that read the radiology tests.Īnyway I have informed Capio Partners (the debt collection agency) and MBB that I was insured at the time of service - and that my insurance information was readily available from SMH. It's been so long ago and I had many tests done that I can't remember the specifics. It seems odd to me that my insurance company never received a claim from MBB and I never received a bill. I'm trying to figure out if my situation is some kind of fraud/scheme or if MBB is just very disorganized. (MBB), a radiology practice in the Jacksonville, Florida area, has agreed to pay the United States $1.4 million to resolve allegations that it knowingly submitted false claims to Medicare and Medicaid for radiological images that were ineligible for reimbursement.

On the Better Business Bureau web site MBB has a rating of "F". If you want to read a comedy of horrors read the MBB reviews. They also never sent a claim in to my insurance because I called my insurance and they said MBB never filed a claim with them!Īnyway a bit more about MBB: On Google reviews they're only rated 1.2 stars (out of a possible 5 stars). Anyway they claimed they had sent me 3 bills which was BS because I never received anything. The second number was for Mori Bean & Brooks (MBB) out of Jacksonville - and BINGO!īoy does this company seem to be a mess! First off when you call them it sounds like the call is routed to some foreign call center and the rep has such a strong accent that they can barely be understood. One was in Tampa - I called and it wasn't them. I called Sarasota Memorial hospital and they said if the bill was based on radiology it would be from one of 2 radiology companies they use. So this is really strange - perhaps CF Medical is also listed under another name. They said they don't have any record of me ever having an account with them. I have never received a letter or call from CF Medical LLC - so I looked up their telephone number on Google and called them. The debt collector is "Capio Partners" and the letter was sent from PO Box 4115, Concord, CA 54524 but they have a business street address in Sherman, TX.Ĭapio Partners is offering to settle my debt for $337.80.Ĭapio Partners claims in their letter that they purchased my debt from "CF Medical LLC".

I gave my insurance card to SMH and they had my insurance information on file. I saw numerous doctors and had several tests done.
