The doctors want to know what their exact deposit is in dollars to their bank account every week. The doctors call in on Monday to get this information from accounts receivable person or the person who handles the deposit of the checks.
For accounts receivable purposes don’t reduce the client’s bill unless you have the check to be cashed and preferably the EOB or explanation of benefits from Medicare in your hand.
If a client says that they paid by personal check then tell them to fax a copy of the check front and backwards as we need a copy of the canceled personal check front and back.
If a personal check dispatched to the wrong come was cashed then get the come that the personal check was dispatched to get the personal check number and so on and then call the insurance carrier and have them put a tracer on the check.
Never, never, never accept a check made out to your business name for the billing because then we have to pay taxes on that and they are not our earnings. I mean sure your billing company gets 12% of whatever is posted but the doctor’s name or the group is the proper payee name because if it was written out to the medical billing business name then that means the billing business has to pay taxes on that and that is not fair. In this case you would simply call the person who prefabricated discover the personal check and communicate them to re-issue to personal check with the correct student or medical group name.
Screen Actor’s Guild or SAG they don’t use group names in their billing and payments only individual doctors. Even when the doctor is in a group they won’t send checks to the group address, they send it to the doctor’s individual name and address and not the group’s billing address.
SAG does not use groups just individual doctors because one student in a group will take their insurance and another one won’t. When a PHCS (Private Healthcare System) student is in net they have to use each doctor’s name individually.
For Screen Actor’s Guild the claims and the appeals go to the same address.

When you bill the medical patient and you don’t participate with the insurance company and the personal check is dispatched to the medical patient and the insurance company sends the medical patient a personal check and the medical patient cashes and spends the personal check instead of sending it in for their scrutiny bills as promised in that case you cannot offer the medical patient a partial payment plan of $100.00 per month. Call the medical patient as the patient has to send in commercialism for the full amount within ten days as cashing the personal check and not sending it in is considered to be theft of services. If the medical patient does not pay the account in full not only will they be overturned over for theft of services but also billed for court costs and lawyer’s fees.
Sometimes money is dispatched back over to the insurance company because they paid too such because either the doctor or the infirmary was discovered to be out of network. In that case you would wait until the account is keyed to bill the medical patient then do a refund request. Then refund the carrier only what is being requested then supply the carrier a personal check and beam the medical patient a note telling her the insurance carrier took back the money and to beam us a personal check for the amount.
If you need to refund the insurance company first make the monetary correction in the computer system and then do a reversal and supply a refund personal check to the carrier.
Patient Nutrition and Caring Feeding Practices
Feeding patients is done slowly and lovingly. Never try to rush a patient and do not feed all of one food item at a time. Try to feed the person a little of everything and then offer a little of the drink. This way the patient can enjoy the meal.
