Morissette writes “to establish breach of a standard of professional care, expert witness testimony becomes essential since a jury of laypersons cannot understand the distinctions of medical care.” (2014, p. 134) An emergency room doctor would be an exceptional witness to show that the inactions of Dr. Perry greatly reduced the chance of his patient surviving. In addition, the Learned Hand Formula should be applied in this case, by checking Michael’s vitals, Dr. Perry would have reduced the risk of harm and possibly death because he would have realized his misdiagnoses and would have given Michael a greater chance of

  • Inaccurate Reimbursement Analysis

    109 Words  | 1 Pages

    Overall, incomplete documentation and delinquent medical records cause inaccurate reimbursement and results in inaccurate gross revenue to the hospital. It can have a negative impact on the hospital budgeting and financial planning process for the hospital. It is for this purpose that every healthcare institution should be purposeful on reviewing the accuracy and completeness in clinical documentation, no matter the cost. Even though, for most physicians, most of their time is focused on the actual care of the patient and there is little to no time to devote to extensive documentation, it is imperative to understand patient care includes both the one-to-one attention and the documentation of said treatment.

Because every code does not require a modifier I 'm afraid I will have trouble determining which code needs a modifier and which ones do not.

    I think it’s wrong for the government to penalize physicians for not meeting compliance standards. However, It’s a great opportunity for the government to aim at small practices because this is where physicians are self-employed. These types of physicians have numerous clinic or health care facilities and are most likely to commit fraud. This seems kind of biased, but it’s true. According to, Ornstein, the most common sanctions are against physicians who have odd Medicare billing reputations (2014, title).
