TIME: ;"" GRIEVANCE RESPONSE 012700 Mr. Moore, In response to your grievance concerning the refund of$8.00 for a doctor visit, you will not be refunded this money because this visit was not a follow-up of the first visit. A follow-up is: 1)scheduled by the doctor at the time of the first visit, or; 2)scheduled by the nurse after an assessment reveals that there has been no improvement since the first visit. On 12-08-99 you were assessed by the nurse. At that time, she found you to have a cough and an elevated temperature so you were referred to the doctor at no charge to you. You were seen in clinic the next day(12-09-99) and were diagnosed with possible bronchitis at that time. You were prescribed antibiotics for ten days. On 12-17-99 you were seen in clinic by the PA. for a complete physical exam. He examined you and found no evidence of infection. At that time, you stated that you were "feeling much better'. No further medications or treatments were indicated or prescribed. This visit was also at no charge to you. On 12-22-99 you submitted a kite requesting to see the doctor. You were seen in clinic on 12-23-99 and appropriately charged $8.00. This was not a follow-up of the first visit because: 1) This visit was not initiated by the doctor, P.A., or the nurse 2) You already had follow-up with the P.A. less than one week earlier, and he found no evidence of a continuation of the original problem. 3) Your exam on 12-23-99 by the doctor revealed no evidence of continuation of the original problem. WELD COUNTY SHERIFF ' S OFFICE Ed Jordan, Sheriff 910 10TH Avenue Greeley, CO 80631 (303) 356-9015 FAX (303) 353-8551 To Rick Dill p ,q From David Malcom d' �� t Date February 1, 2000 Subject: Grievance from Gerald Moore Dated 01282000 I have reviewed all documents submitted with Mr. Moore's grievance, talked with Sherrie Wayman, and have looked through Mr. Moore's booking file. There was nothing in Mr. Moore's booking file. In talking to Ms. Wayman, she advised that the $8.00 co-pay charge should stand. She advised that on 120899 Mr. Moore talked with a nurse about a medical problem. After the nurse checked him out, he was scheduled for a doctor visit, and was not charged a co-pay. This was on 120999. On 121799, Mr. Moore was seen by the PA for a complete physical, and no further problems were noted from the doctor visit on 120899. On 122299 Mr. Moore sent in a Inmate Request Form asking to see the doctor, and was scheduled for 122399. When Mr. Moore was seen by the doctor on 122399 there was no evidence of any continuation of the original medical problem. Ms. Wayman said that Mr. Moore did not talk with a nurse about any problems as he did originally. If he had, and during the nurse's assessment, the nurse would have found a problem Mr. Moore would have been scheduled to see the doctor, and there would have been no co-pay. I found no Inmate Request Form from Mr. Moore written in detail, stating follow- up at no charge, other than the information that was included in the Step III Grievance written on 01282000. I would have to agree with Ms. Wayman. If Mr. Moore had talked with a nurse and had an assessment prior to writing the inmate Request Form on 122299 to see the doctor, and if the nurse would have referred him to the doctor there would have been no co-pay. Without going through the nurse, and there being no evidence of the prior medical problem, then Mr. Moore should be charged a co-pay.
