This may seem like a really silly idea, but it applies to at least one region of the country (NYC) and it kind of goes along with Meds. So, here it goes (Don't Laugh!)
Many insurance companies and other facilities are requiring Rxs for non-medication issues. For instance, to get an x-ray or a sonogram, the patient needs an Rx (on the right paper). Some insurance companies want to require formal referrals but avoid the cost making referral forms and tracking them. So, they require a referral written on, you guessed it, an Rx.
To keep a record of this, we started writing these in AC! Brilliant Idea, or so I thought. But the Law of Unintended Consequences struck. We now have a list of x-rays and sonogram Rxs a patient's medication list (ooooops!)
I wish to jump onto the Rx bandwagon with the suggestion of a Non-Medication Rx list. This could be kept separately from the Medication list. Where? Well, I don't know but it seems like it could be useful.
Anyone agree?
Anyone?
