I started my externship on January 7 2016, at Santiam Correctional Institution (SCI). My preceptor is Irving Loretta. Because this is a correctional my clinical site is very small and they only provide limited services. They provide the basic health services such as lab tests, wound care, EKG’s, x-rays, injections, blood draws, vitals, and medications.

Richard Lewis, Jr. LCSW, CCM, Allcare Health, arrived late to the meeting. He was wondering why there is not a home assessment learning objective listed. The group explained to Richard that the Industry Partners considered RCC CHW course as an entry level and then Industry Partners would “mold” the individual to fit into their specific organization. Most of the meeting members felt the continuing education would be important for professional development. Richard stated, “Leaving the polishing to the specific organization,” would be beneficial for everybody.

Lewis should start by calling the provider services number for Blue Cross Blue Shield to verify that Sylvia Baker is still currently insured through them. Once he has verified that Sylvia is in fact insured then he should ask them what coverage Sylvia has. Verifying insurance and verifying coverage are completely different but people tend to make the mistake that they are the same. Or sometimes they verify that their patient has insurance through the company they are calling but don’t find out what coverage they have, leaving the patient with a bill. I read that each state is different with how the CMS-1500 is supposed to be completed so Lewis also needs to check the provider manual for that state’s Blue Cross Blue Shield plans for guidelines.Mark’s
