    If Mr. Jones insurance has a $500 deductable and a $50 surgery copay, how much will his insurance pay on his bill of $4359.00?

    • $3809.00

    • $2809.00

    • $3980.00

    • $3900.00

    Correct Answer
    A. $3809.00
    Explanation
    Mr. Jones' insurance has a $500 deductible, which means that he is responsible for paying the first $500 of his medical bill. After the deductible is met, his insurance will cover a portion of the remaining cost. In this case, Mr. Jones' bill is $4359.00, but since he has already paid the deductible, his insurance will pay the majority of the remaining cost. The surgery copay of $50 is not relevant to this calculation. Therefore, his insurance will pay $3809.00 towards his bill.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Written release from the patient" because patient confidentiality is a fundamental principle in healthcare. Releasing medical records without the patient's written consent would violate their privacy rights. Verbal orders from the physician or office manager may not be sufficient evidence of patient consent and could lead to potential legal issues. Therefore, it is essential to obtain a written release from the patient before disclosing their medical records.

    • The check will likely bounce

    • You cannot verify the reliability of the maker

    Correct Answer
    A. You cannot verify the reliability of the maker
    Explanation
    Accepting third-party checks from patients is usually poor policy because you cannot verify the reliability of the maker. This means that there is a risk that the check may be fraudulent or bounce, causing financial loss to the healthcare provider. Without being able to verify the reliability of the maker, it is difficult to ensure that the funds will be available to cover the payment. Therefore, it is generally safer to avoid accepting third-party checks to minimize the potential for financial complications.

    Correct Answer

Source-oriented refers to organizing the record based on the various sources of information, problem-oriented focuses on organizing the record around specific medical problems, and chronologically refers to organizing the record in the order of events or time. "Progressively" does not fit into any of these categories and is therefore not a method of organizing a medical record.
