Question:
How often should cancer diagnosis be reported? Is it to be reported on ALL procedures following the active diagnosis of cancer?
Example: If a patient has active cancer, but they are getting bloodwork/EKG/Urinalysis for a condition NOT RELATED to their cancer diagnosis,
is cancer still to be reported?
Example: If patient has a history of cancer, but no active cancer, on what procedures is the history of cancer to be reported? Just office visits?
Basically, my office is questioning whether the cancer diagnosis is to be reported on EVERYTHING even if the procedure is not currently related to cancer.
Question:
Is an active case of cancer still to be reported with a wellness visit if the cancer was found prior to the wellness visit? If so, how?
Any help is appreciated!!
