Elouise, Our hospital policy is that we list any "one time" type insurance such as Workers Comp, MVA, etc as the primary, but then list the patient's normal insurance underneath and answer demo recall yes. This helps in many ways. 1) Staff have the info for the next visit, if necessary. 2) Billers have the normal insurance if they receive a denial for no coverage or non-covered diagnosis/condition. 3) Collectors know if a patient has an insurance such as Medicaid that statutorily prohibits billing the patient even if the "other" insurance takes years to settle and pay a claim. 4) Medicare billers can submit claims for conditional payment when appropriate. And now a new reason - MPM will get the information. I appreciate knowing that as we have MPM and are in the beginning staging of implementing LSS billing.

When checking in a patient in the Medical and Practice Management (MPM) module, is it possible to retain workers comp insurance information? Our hospital policy is to respond N to "Update Ins Demo Recall?" for all workers comp so I suspect it is not possible, but if anyone knows a way around this, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
