As a lawyer my clients requirements and comfort is my priority. I make sure that all the required documents are in place to avoid rejection and wasteage of time. If my papers are perfectly arranged and submitted process is half done .Delayed processes have factors involved like incomplete and submission of wrong papers .If you are perfect in your work client understands the efforts done by you .Empathy is next most important thing one has to consider becaise if client has lost something he needs lot of empathy that if its not corrected atleast can be claimed for damages caused h. Thirdly keeping client informed of progress is of utmost importance to build good rapport.

Teach patients & their loved ones to advocate for themselves. Get 2nd opinions. I have been a nurse for 26 years. 5 yrs ago, My husband was in a mountain bike accident & developed a mass on his chest. He was febrile, in pain & the mass grew every day. I took him to 12 appts in 10 days, 8 were in the ER. We were repeatedly told he had a hematoma. He ultimately presented with a hemo-pneumothorax & JVD. I called an ambulance, they released him from the ER in 5 hrs. Dx atelactisis. Finally I called a Surgeon I knew, who met us at the ER. My husband had 80cc of pus removed from his abscess & was admitted to the ICU for 13 days. He was septic & losing kidney function. He had 2 surgeries. Our insurance said it was a pre existing condition.

I have found insuring accuracy is key! Accuracy for the insurance requirements for example, knowledge of what each insurance requires, the timelines and modalities required for specific insurances. Defined signs and symptoms supporting clients diagnosis and level of care; are very effective.

It is my practice to make sure that I provide appropriate diagnosis and assessments in a timely manner for billing insurance. I also make sure that my procedure codes reflect the type of services that I am providing. These have been key factors in helping me provide my clients with consistent successful claims. I also make it a habit of doing notes as early as possible.

I’m sure to always document symptoms clearly to truly reflect improvements or worsening symptoms. I think it’s very important to maintain accurate and detailed information yet regard the clients perception. Such as “interpersonal conflict with significant other and alleged infidelity” opposed to every detail and names. I do this so if I’m asked to testify in court related to the client there’s enough documentation to competently recall sessions yet less liability in the event any reported information was not accurate. It’s important to understand the criteria for diagnoses and insurance claims to ensure claims will not be denied and cause undue emotional and/or financial hardship to the client.
