Re: backdating reports

I think it is totally unethical for a professional to ask for this. However, it's not MY responsibility in end. Same would go for me though. I'd certainly not lie about it in court. They should think of that before they pull that stuff.

What the client wanted to know was if it was okay for him to change the date dictated and date transcribed to backdate the reports about a year or so. He was not even a client back then. The digital system automatically records the actual dictation date and transcribe date. This is against the law as altering the medical document, I believe, and is a felony and also subject to ethics repercussions, I think.

I will do anything that a client asks me to do. Well may be not
anything, but for the most part I don't care. They also know that if I
am ever asked the testify, then I will be saying, yes, I was asked to
put different dates on dictation. I have suggested to the client that I
put the real dates, and then put something about "redictated." I don't
take it as a reflection on me that it was lost.

Guess I have just been a whore way too long.
