I see many have view this question, yet no one has an answer.....:confused:
We developed a policy regarding this in the practice I am at. If a patient doesn't want us to file insurance we require them sign a form stating they requested we not file insurance DOS mm/dd/yyyy. We make them aware that they can not change their minds several weeks to months down the road and decide they want us to file a claim. The reason we had to implement this is that we see pediatrics patients and when it comes to vaccines you can get in a mess especially since we have state provided vaccines and purchased vaccines.
