Collection letters are uncomfortable tasks for a collection specialist, especially when it comes to reminding customers about their overdue payment and dealing with customers who refuse to pay their bill. The first collection letter should show the chargers, date of services and how much the insurance company paid and what the customer is left to pay, due to deductibles. The first letter will also give the patient 30 days to respond and make a payment, provide information on how to contact our office and how to make a check or electronic payment.

According the National Transitions of Care Coalition (2008), improving communication in transitions of care, implementing standardized electronic medical records, establishing points of accountability for sending and receiving care, and expanding roles of pharmacists in transitions of care all aid in the continuity of care and result in positive patient outcomes. However, often the expectations of transitions of care fall short because team members are unsure of their role and the information that should be relayed. The patient’s risk for harm may have been increased when she was discharged

I have been a patient of the OBGYN side of Lone Star Circle of Care for years but just recently my primary care doctor stopped taking my insurance. So I made a new patient appointment with the Ben White location in Austin, Texas with Dr. Rivera for the 17th of February. I checked in on the 17th and sat down to wait. Thirty minutes went by and I asked the front desk if they knew how far behind Dr. Rivera was. The front desk did not seem interested in this question but did ask a person that came from the back how far behind Dr. Rivera would be. I didn’t get an answer but the front desk at that time did write in on the “Doctor running late” board that she was running thirty minutes behind. I sat down and waited, after another 12 minutes I asked for an

This paper will show how assessment is a core part of the client’s treatment. It will show how assessment is done at the beginning of the treatment process but, will allow you to see that assessment is a continuing process. It results from a combination of focused interviews, testing, and record reviews. Assessments give the social worker a framework of reference to understand the strengths, weaknesses, problems, and needs of the client for the development of the treatment plan. It provides the social worker with a theory-based framework for generating hypotheses about the client’s experience and behaviors, which in turn helps prepare the basis for a specific treatment intervention. This paper will discuss the assessment tools
Each day we are faced with making decisions regarding the plan of care and discharge of a patient based on the number of days an insurance company allows to treat the patient. Most times the days allowed are less than what is required to assist the patient back to their prior level of function and ability to safely return home. This causes an internal struggle for the provider and can lead to easily accepting what the insurance company allows even though it is not always best for the patient. Typically, we follow the rule of always doing what is right, which could mean that we keep the patient on the unit longer than the insurance will provide payment.
