THE HARD PARTS

What makes forensic pathology records software billing hard

Records many people request

Families, courts and agencies ask for records, each under different rules.

Chain of custody

Specimens and evidence must be tracked from receipt to release.

Mostly not insurance-billed

Much forensic work is paid by government or by contract, not health plans.

WHERE THE WORK HAPPENS

How forensic pathology records software care is delivered and billed

Forensic pathologists work for medical examiner and coroner offices, hospitals and as consultants. Most death investigations are paid by government; hospital autopsies and private consults are paid by the hospital, family or requesting party. Records are requested by families, courts and public health agencies.

What payers check on forensic pathology records software claims

Autopsy and death investigation records are released only to those entitled under state law.
Chain of custody for specimens must be documented at each handoff.
Most forensic services are not billed to health insurance.
Hospital autopsies are usually paid by the hospital.
Every access to case records should be auditable.

Common forensic pathology records software diagnoses ICD-10-CM
