Question
Answered step-by-step
Asked by DeaconFlowerTiger24

As a health care professional, you will be in

situations where laws, ethics, and

professional practices may not align. The

purpose of this assignment is for you to

determine a course of action using

applicable laws, ethics, and best-practices

in the coding fields. I understand why you

had to look into this. Let me explain. I have a

legitimate concern for this patient’s well-

being. The patient is 19 years-old, but

doesn’t want her parents to know she came

to the doctor, or what she’s seeking care

for. She’s on their insurance, and they will

have access to her EOB. This visit really

was toeing the line between a Level 2 and

Level 3, so I went with Level 2 to avoid

raising questions from her parents. If they

find out what treatment she was seeking, it

could be detrimental to her health and well-

being. Can we keep this as a Level 2? I

don’t want to break any laws, but I also am

ethically obligated to do no harm to my

patient. â€¢ In approximately ,

explain your “gut” feeling about this

situation. This is your personal opinion (no

citations needed). You may incorporate an

explanation of your personal ethics here. â€¢

In approximately , explain the

ethical and legal factors at play in this situation. Cite relevant sources to support

your analysis. â€¢ In a closing paragraph,

summarize how you, the manager, would

advise your coder to handle this situation.

Include legal, ethical, or professional

practices that support your decision.
