Wiki Can we bill no show fee?

[cameshia123]

Patient has FEP BCBS of Virginia primary and Anthem HealthKeepers Medicaid secondary. Missed a behavioral health visit with therapist. Can we charge a no show fee because they have a commercial insurance primary or are all patients with Medicaid period off limits?
