Across-Stateline Challenges in Medical Forensic Exam Payment and Reimbursement: Solutions for Clinicians and Survivors


Payment and reimbursement for medical forensic examinations (MFEs) can be challenging. However, navigating payment for MFEs when the assault occurred across state lines presents a unique challenge for healthcare professionals and survivors. This webinar will highlight multifaceted scenarios where the survivor may undergo an MFE in a state different from their resident state or the state where the assault occurred. Through a detailed exploration of core scenarios, this webinar aims to equip clinicians with the necessary steps and tools to navigate the complexities of payment and reimbursement for MFEs that are conducted and state lines become an issue. Ensuring not only that survivors continue their journey to healing without the re-traumatization of receiving a bill but also offering solutions to reimbursement to assist in maintaining clinician sustainability
