I am facing a ethical dilema here at work. The family physicians use a template for their office visits. The templates are pre-loaded with ROS and exam documentation, and it is up to the physician to edit such. The problem? The physicians do NOT edit. The office visit documentation for an encounter my minor daughter recently had with one of the physicians was totally bogas. I was in the room and witnessed the actual encounter. So, because of the level of visit that was reported to my insurance company, I am left with a higher balance than I should be, based on the ACTUAL encounter level that should have been reported.
This, to me, presents an abuse/fraud opportunity, and, because I have only been employed with them less than three months, I am uncomfortable at the thought of telling the CEO and powers that be that...uh...perhaps they need to re-think the pre-loaded templates..
Your thoughts please......
