What positive resolution can be implemented

Reference no: EM132097604

At Tri-Star Health, Paul Fisher, Director of Medical Cost Management, recently reconstructed the company’s internal codes used to process medical claims. This action not only changed the monetary value of certain codes, but it also altered the numeration assigned to a particular treatment drug. Fisher submitted all the documentation to alter these codes, but failed to submit an update to the physician representatives.

Fisher’s busy schedule hindered him from requesting a newsletter explaining how to use the new codes as well as their payment schedule. Shortly after the new codes were implemented, various physicians had their claims denied and subsequently were left unpaid. The contracted physicians were reasonably upset and sought financial settlement with interest for the company’s failure to update their provider network.
