EMS (rescue squad) charting asks for info on next of kin for billing purposes. Can't figure out ANY scenario where a biller would need to do a skip trace on Medicaid/Medicare patients. However, Obamacare has provisions about taking all assets of a person, from pensions to furniture to cover Medicare expenses. Basically, now when a person goes into a nursing home, the govt takes their entire estate upon death. Hospitals always ask family history of diseases. (Because genetics is everything until you start talking about race, right?) |

Yes hospitals do take a history of family disease but don't ask for DOB and names, that is new. Your probably right about the estate, they will be coming after family for payment.
