Re: backdating reports

A lie is a lie. If he dictated the patient had a broken left scapula in the cranium, I'd wager you wouldn't type it that way, even though it may have been an actual mistake on his part. If we won't include mistakes they make, why should we include lies.

The doc wants to get reimbursed. He didn't do the paperwork on time to get reimbursement, and now he wants someone else to lie for him so he can get it. I wouldn't like for my own kids, I'm sure not going to lie for a doctor.

Not lying - it's doing what your client told you to do. It's not up to me to be their conscience. If they tell me to put redictated on a report I know darned well they never dictated in the first place, no different.

I wouldn't lie in court, but I wouldn't lie on paper either.

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.
