Re: backdating reports

Yep, no way am I going to alter the legal document.

I agree with you. Altering a legal document is a crime. I wouldn't do it.
If the didn't get it done in time for reimbursement, then maybe he should
do better next time.

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.
