Testifying in court can be a very unsettling experience for many doctors, even experienced ones. This 235 page guide is an actual court transcript of a doctor giving testimony in Supreme Court under both direct and cross examination and contains the same types of questions doctors will experience in court in any state. The questions and answers set up the doctor as an expert in multiple areas of practice to allow the doctor to give testimony as to the bodily injuries of his patient. The cross examination section includes areas where the defense lawyer attempts to discredit the expert and shows how to handle those questions. The guide also has a section on how to handle licensure problems so that they do not become an issue in discrediting the doctor as an expert. This is a very easy read and will give you a unique insight on how to conduct yourself on the witness stand as an expert.

MEDICAL ABREVIATION GLOSSARY

When reviewing medical charts of other providers or working with lawyers who read charts as a matter of practice, many doctors abbreviate. It is my RULE that you never abbreviate in any medical-legal document to hit the "easy button" for the readers to make you more user-friendly. This 13 page glossary is compromised of over 1,200 abbreviations and is a perfect "gift" for the lawyers as they will refer to this constantly. It is my most ardent suggestion that you remove our name on top and replace it with a header of your demographic information so they can be constantly reminded of you.

WRITTEN HIPAA MANUAL

Every office is required by Federal Law to have a written HIPPA compliance manual. This document is in fill-in-the -blanks-format to make it very simple to complete. The manual also includes the Medicare Office of Inspector General's (OIG) requirements for compliance, a higher standard than HIPPA, but because both overlap in so many areas, I have created a format that covers both regulations. Should you ever be audited by Medicare or any other governmental agency, by presenting this document, you will show how you are in full compliance with all guidelines and regulations.
