We do keep a "billing chart" in our Accts Rec
Dept for copies of insurance cards, any payment plan information, collection
info, etc. It does not contain the "official medical chart"
info.
That being said, copies of the insurance cards are
vital to the medical chart data, because so many require prior authorization
that has to be done by the therapist/physician.
However, your question does make me wonder about
that financial record--I know Acct Rec shreds it, but I don't think we have it
fall under the same retention standard. Maybe we should?
