Why am I asked to update my forms and policies so often?

Secondary to health care legislation increased responsibilities are being placed on practices to update patient data more often. Also there are constant updates to insurance contracts, state and federal laws which must be addressed by updating your forms and policies. Although we do try to keep these updates to only once a year (typically at the beginning of the year) sometimes the law changes more frequently than that and we must update our policies accordingly. We also want to make sure that you are made aware of the policies that will be applied at the time of each service.
