Mr. Anderson,

The individual named in your request below is not a licensee of the Division of Insurance, therefore this agency has no records responsive to your request. As an NPI is a number associated with a healthcare provider, you may want to try the Division of Professional Licensure, the Department of Public Health or the Board of Registration in Medicine. Each of those agencies license different types of healthcare providers.

For future public record requests to the Division of Insurance, kindly use the link on the agency web page. https://www.mass.gov/doi-public-records-request

Thank you.

Hi there,

Thank you for the response. I'm specifically looking for billing fraud complaints/allegations/reports. Would such records necessarily be in the possession of the provider's licensing board?

Thanks again,
Evan

From: Division of Insurance

Hi Evan,

I am not sure if the licensing board would look into those types of complaints, but it is probably a good place to start. If they don’t take those types of complaints, they may know who does.
