Hi All...
I have a WC patient who missed her pump refill appt, now she is in emergency mode as her pump may dry up...we have no supervising Physician or CNP on site today, only an RN...can she fill the pump? How do you bill emergency services such as this to an MCO? Or would this not constitute an emergency, and the pt would be responsible for pmt, IF it is all possible to do...
We have never been faced with this scenario before. We thought about referring her to an emergency room, but they do not do pump refills...
Any information would be greatly appreciated..
