Answer:

Patients medical history and records are meant to be confidential. The coders discussing on the diagnosis listed on a patient’s file and commenting on the patient’s past social history in relation to the diagnosis listed in the medical record is totally unacceptable.

I would make sure I warn them to desist from going against the ethics of the profession or make up evidences and report them to the relevant authorities.

Therefore, her plan will continue after getting the ESRD diagnosis and the MA plan chosen by Mrs. Davenporrt cannot charge more than the original Medicare cost for dialysis and coverage of immunosuppressant drugs. Moreover both part A and part B medicare plans have annual budget for out-of-pocket costs thus the increasing healthcare cost of Mrs. Davenport after the ESRD diagnosis can be covered through renewal of annual budgeting. Moreover, if the previous Medicare advantage plan is not functional in the service area, then Mrs. Davenport could enroll in Special Enrollment period and may get another Medicare advantage plan in their area.
