10. We don't have have enough information to determine if it is a legit board complaint or not.

And I assure you, billing problems most certainly can be a board issue.

I have seen a number of medical professionals censured or license suspended because of billing problems.

When I was doing a clinical internship, one of my supervisors was obviously operating in a highly unethical way
around billing issues related to his clinical practice. I mentioned this to him on several occasions. His license was eventually suspended for 1 year and he had to undergo supervision himself.

(No I did not turn him in, one of this clients did.)
