Is financial counselling applicable for drugs, and if yes, is there a need to obtain acknowledgment too?
Price Transparency Requirements, Financial Counselling
If a particular clinical encounter requires financial counselling (e.g., medical visit that is MSHL claimable), the cost of the drugs which are required as part of the clinical encounter should be discussed during financial counselling. This particular financial counselling episode would need to be acknowledged by patient or the patient’s next of-kin.
