Kelly was a new coder who had never held an HIM job before.

Please I need help with this assignment:

case study

Kelly was a new coder who had never

held an HIM job before. She had just graduated

from college and passed her RHIT when she was

hired by a local clinic and she was excited to start

working. A few weeks later, her manager asked to

meet with her. The manager closed the door and

told Kelly that she wanted her to code the health

record for a particular procedure using two codes

instead of one so the reimbursement would be

higher. The manager then proceeded to divulge

information that the clinic was struggling financially

so anything extra would help. Kelly got the

impression that if she did not comply, they would

let her go. She really needed the job and since it

was her boss asking, she felt obligated to get it done as she

was told. 

Questions:

    Read “Real-World Case 21.1” on page 675 of your textbook. Using Figure 21.2 (page 668 of your textbook) on the seven considerations that should be asked by HIM professionals faced with an ethical decision; answer the following questions about this “Real-World” case.

Identify the ethical question in this case?

What are the facts in the case?

Who are the stakeholders?

What options does Kelly have? 

What is the decision (what HIM values are at stake)? 

What justifies the choice?

 What preventive measures may be taken so that this issue is not repeated?
