Write an original 700- to 1,050-word medical office financial policy for Part A of your final project. In your policy, provide a minimum of three references, formatted according to APA standards. Include the following components in your policy:
Collection of co-payments, deductibles, and past-due balances
Arrangements for handling of unpaid balances
Handling of payments for non-covered services
Prepayment policies
Policies for accepting cash, checks, money orders, and credit or debit cards
Arrangements for sliding scales and low income payments
Other pertinent policies you see fit to include based on your research
Format your policy similarly to the examples you see online and in your text; however, your policy must include APA-formatted references.
Include the following the end of your financial policy, Part B:
Add a separate section reviewing why you believe your policy is best suited to your selected type of medical office setting.
Explain and provide support for your rationale in 525- to 700- words.
Include a minimum of one reference to support your explanation and format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. You may use the same references to complete the supporting rationale that you used for the financial policy.
