As a disabled veteran I wish to invoke entitlement to LWOP for all medical treatment. I am requesting Leave Without Pay for 80 hours, to be used for days that Medical Appointments and/or medically incapacitated, in lieu of Sick Leave and Annual Leave as I have already exhausted most of my leave due to OWCP injuries. I request to be able to use LWOP for the entire day beginning October 20th 2015. I will inform my supervisor in advance and will submit medical documentation following the use of LWOP. On July 7, 2015, I sprain my left ankle while walking to the education building; my left foot stepped off the edge of the sidewalk, I stumbled and almost fell to the ground. I’m currently seeing a podiatrist for this condition. I had MRI of left ankle …show more content…
[In accordance with Executive Order 5396, dated July 17, 1930], a disabled veteran must be granted sick or annual, or LWOP if necessary, for medical treatment when presenting an official statement from a duly-constituted medical authority that medical treatment is required. The veteran must give prior notice of the period during which absence for treatment will occur.

Executive Order 5396, specifically states that a disable veteran must be granted to use sick, annual, or LWOP for medical treatment when presenting an official statement from a duly-constituted medical authority. Based on this Executive Order I am permitted to use LWOP as long as that doctor is licensed by a Board of Medical Practice. The policy does not state that it has to be a VA appointment. Under current VA administration veterans are able to seek care within our own communities instead of having to wait many months to seek medical care. Therefore I am entitled LWOP for the following reasons: I am a disabled veterans attending medical appointments and I currently seeking treatment for an OWCP injury. I have had several Medical Appointments in which I informed my supervisor in advance and always turned in Medical Documentation after each appointment. I have medicals issues that I have no control over. Please consider my request for Leave without pay. Thanks in advance for your time and

    Cobbs V. Grant Case Study

    The theme of Module Five is that every patient has a right to receive emergency care and every patient has a right to informed consent. The emergency medical treatment and active labor act (EMTALA) requires hospital that receive Medicare payments to provide care to patients regardless of citizenship, ability to pay, or legal status. Hospitals with EDs that serve Medicare patients must abide by EMTALA, which is a statute that requires stabilization of any patient that presents to the emergency department. An emergency situation as we identified at class is either when the patient is dying, when a woman giving birth, or something about unnatural disability. It's easy for patients to feel powerless in these types of situations, as they present with an illness. That’s why hospital administrators and providers have the duty to give patients every angle of their medical situation. Patients must have all the information about their diagnosis and treatment…

    Summary: Relating HIPAA To Billing

    The receptionist or other clerical worker will either call, or receive a call from a “patient” or other authorized individual. During this communication, the associate must be careful to observe HIPAA rules related to “protected health information.” when “schedule, canceling, or rescheduling” encounters. When gathering benefit “information,” the representative must be diligent to accurately enter data into the “patient’s” file. Discerning insurance cards, policies, and all applicable guidelines of each plan are applicable to the “front and back” office. Abiding by the payer’s regulations, and the coordination of benefits,” associates will input this data into the patient management program (PMP). During these procedures, insurance specialists will be cautious to correlate the correct information with the correct patient. The “front or back office” will then confirm coverage with designated plans, along with all essentials, such as if a “referral or preauthorization” is a requisite. Prior to consulting with the physician, patients will need to be alerted about their rights, in coordination with HIPAA privacy standards, as well as those of the provider. During that time, if the patient owes any monies for coinsurance, or copayments, this will be submitted to the “front office.” While checking out patients, insurance specialists will transfer the descriptions of “diagnoses and procedures” from the “physician’s report” into appropriate “codes” for ‘claim” generation. This facet is most crucial, because of the HIPAA specifications regarding the transfer of PHI “by covered entities” (Valerius et al., p.…
