What is the process when a patient you have been treating for 2 separate conditions comes back and states that that one of these injuries is attributed to a separate incident. She now is requesting the second injury be billed under a second insurance? Is there a was now “split” the record so information can be provided to each insurance separately? Thank you!
You would have 2 separate medical records for the 2 separate conditions being billed to 2 different insurance carriers.
What is the best way to handle a situation you identify internally when reviewing a chart. Billing was entered for the date of service, but a note was never completed for that visit. This was recently identified 2 months after the visit date. Thank you.
I would suggest you contact your healthcare attorney as due to liability reasons, I can’t address this question in this forum.
