Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Payer communications typically relate to the financial aspects of patient care, such as billing, payments, and insurance claims. Therefore, they should be documented in the financial record, not in the medical or clinical records, which focus on the patient's health and treatment. Encounter forms are used to document services provided during a patient's visit but are not the appropriate place for recording payer communications.
