Question

Situation: You are preparing to bill private insurance for a patient when you realize from the progress notes that this may, in fact, be a work-related injury. You contact the patient and specifically question if the visit is related to an injury that occurred at work, and the patient states that "it did happen at work," but he insists that his private insurance be billed and that you not bill workers' compensation for this visit.

Are you obligated to follow the patient's wishes? Explain.

If you file a claim with the private insurance company instead of Workers' Compensation and it is noted correctly that this is a work-related injury, how do you think the claim will be processed?
