Q: For an inpatient-only procedure, can the inpatient order be obtained the day after surgery, and if so, we are still allowed to bill as inpatient for the entire stay?
Q: We still use a color-coded filing system at my organization that uses specific colors to identify patient types, like whether an individual is a Medicaid/CHIP patient. These files are mostly used for billing documentation. Because the colors identify patient type, would this be considered a HIPAA violation?
