    Thank you for your interest in our law firm. As we previously discussed when you came into our office December 27 2013, I needed to do some research before accepting to represent you and your husband in this case. At this time I would like to inform you we are unable to represent your husband or yourself in this medical malpractice matter. After reviewing your husband’s medical records and consulting with another attorney I have decided it would be in the best interest for everyone for us not to proceed with any attorney/client relationship in regards to this matter.…

    Ethics Case Study Hcs/335

    I will call Dr. Williams right away to inform him about your situation. I will call you back as soon I get a response from him. I think the easiest way to pick the right decision is by thinking in the consequences. For example, If Jerry decides to call in the prescription for the patient and something happen to him; Jerry will get in serious trouble, he will have to live responsible for a tragedy that he could prevent for the rest of his life, getting fire and thinking how unfair the whole situation was for Dr. Williams only because he decided to make the call. While if he uses my advice the worst thing can happen is that Dr. Williams do not call back to the office before the patient live the state, making the patient…

    General Appeals Process Analysis

    If a patient visits a specialist but did not receive the required authorization prior to the visit, the claim may be denied, resulting in the provider’s need to appeal the claim (Jacob, 2001). Healthcare employees who handle billing and claims must be certain that all of the information they have for each patient is correct and up to date, and that they receive all necessary authorizations prior to performing any procedures. Additionally, insurance clerks have to be certain that they are using the proper procedure codes and not unintentionally over coding. Should a claim be denied, no matter the reason, it must follow the three steps of the appeals process. These three steps are complaint, appeal, and grievance. By filing an appeal, the claim can be paid when it was previously denied, reduced, or down coded. After the appeals process and decision, if a provider or patient is still not satisfied, the appeal can be taken to an outside authority, like a state insurance commission…

    Essay On Cataract Surgery

    When your eye doctor discovers you have cataracts, he or she may not recommend surgery right away. If your early cataracts do not interfere with your vision, your doctor may watch how they progress over the years and decide when the time is right for surgery. If your cataracts progress slowly, you may be able to put the surgery off for many years. However, you don't want to wait too long or your vision will be affected. Here are some of the advantages of having cataract surgery when the time is right.…
