Wiki Billing Insurance for Domestic Violence Cases

[wegnerj89]

Hi all,
I recently came across a patient account who was seen for anxiety due to domestic violence. The patient is married to the perpetrator and on a commercial insurance plan together listed under the spouses insurance. What is your company's policy for billing commercial (or any) insurance when it could put the patient at a greater risk in their home if the perpetrator were to receive the EOB? There isn't anything formal in place with my company and I really think something needs to be changed with that.
Any input and advice is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Jessica Wegner, CPC-A

Hello,
Document with dx codes what is in the record. It is what it is ......besides these physician notes could be used for court so it should match. The perpetrator may never see this claim and if he did it is not a falsehood.
