Guest guest Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I have been hearing quite a bit about this lately. The consensus seems to be that email is not secure, so therefore could be a breech of confidentiality to the patient.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Colleagues, The question of HIPAA audits came up in an office conversation recently. Has anyone heard of any offices being audited in the NW or around  the country? Larry L.

I always have a conversation with the patient about this exact topic. I tell them that keeping their case open for the entire year behooves them for reasons such as exacerbation of original injury. “If you don’t have an urgent need monetarily, it would behoove you to keep the case open. Once you close the case your benefits stop for the most part and we won’t be able to treat you under PIP.†ph Medlin D.C. From: Cluen Sent: Monday, January 16, 2012 11:39 AM ; Vern Saboe Subject: House Bill 2369 Hi All! I had a patient come in for treatment due to an exacerbation of their condition. Their accident was in June 2011. They received treatment for 3 months. They came in again in December for an exacerbation for 2 visits. State Farm (her insurance) sent an explanation of review stating that because they settled with the 3rd party, State Farm will no longer be paying for treatment. We spoke to the adjuster and she is refusing to pay (regardless of explaining House Bill 2369). I thought that this bill clarified that the primary PIP cannot stop payment for treatment for 1 year. I know they can IME, but they are just denying it. Is there a way to make the insurer pay?
