Medical Records Law in NC, sponsored by Lorman Education Services, presented in Greensboro and Charlotte, NC.
Medical records and the laws that apply to them have become increasingly complex in recent years. Medical records were originally just a tool for medical providers to document the care they rendered. They are now used by insurance companies for payment purposes, other treating providers for continuing care, and for malpractice lawsuits. Even more confusing, there are now state and national laws governing the use of medical records. This seminar provided the universe of medical records regulations and Medical Board guidance on what to do and what not do, so that those in the medical industry now know where to find the answers to their questions.
