In a nondiscriminatory way, without breaching contracts with commercial insurances, how would a provider go about NOT collecting FULL patient responsibility, without misrepresenting our fees, but allow some sort of a "discount" to the patient's without insurance coverage. Meaning, patient's without insurance coverage either by a policy exclusion or no policy at all.
Most would refer to this as a Waiver of Liability or Professional Courtesy for "self pay" accounts. However we do not have such a policy, and I'm interested in the ins and outs and legal significance involved in having such a policy.
Where would I obtain guidelines or standards that are needed to be drafted in the policy and an example of a "waiver form" and any other information. Even if it is a policy that should NOT be implemented and information to substantiate why not.
