Insurance Resource Tool

For your Final Project, you are to submit an Insurance Resource Project with information from this course to help you in the future when on the job. This will be a great reference tool for you to refer back to when it comes to helping a patient navigate through the healthcare system.
You will use your notes, discussion board posts, assignments, and will also need to do research online to accurately complete this project.
You can complete this project by using Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, or Google Docs.

The information that needs to be included in this project is:
• Information from every Unit that you feel would help you as a reference tool.
• Each type of Insurance and the differences between them.
• Websites and phone numbers for each Insurance company.
• Different parts to Medicare Coverage
• Types of Medicare Advantage Plans
• Examples of EOB and understanding how to read one.
• Documentation of the differences between ICD-10-CM, CPT-4, and HCPCSII.

You do not have to create your project like the example, but you should pay attention to the material given as these are the things I will be looking for. I do want to provide some specific information regarding the project. See items below:
1. Your project should mention each and every insurance that has been mentioned in the course and yes, there are some we will be discussing in Unit 7.
2. For each insurance type, you should be giving me details about the insurance, and this should also include the main phone number for the insurance (usually the corporate number) as well as the website address for the insurance as every insurance has a dedicated website. The website is used for browsing plans, pricing, and other valuable pieces of information.
3. For the different parts of Medicare, don’t just list each part, but discuss each part with 2-3 details for each. Be sure to discuss the different Medicare Advantage plans. These plans are very important for Medicare patients.
4. When discussing the EOB, be sure to not only give details but you must attach an example of an EOB from the internet.
5. Do not just list the 3 coding sets, but rather discuss each one in detail.
6. Lastly, be sure to include other information from the different units that you feel would be a great resource tool for insurance.
7. The title of the project does not have to be Patient Navigator. You can use the title, “Insurance Resource Tool”.

**While there is no specific number of slides required, you should be sure to cover all details that are required for the project.

Case Study Reflection, Middle Childhood 

CASE STUDY

Mark is a 9-year-old boy who lives with his mother and presents today for “school issues.” He is in the third grade and is an A student. During the last two weeks, he has refused to go to school and has missed six school days. He stays awake most of the night worrying about going to school. In the mornings when it’s time for his mom to take him to school, he begins crying and yelling that he can’t go. In the last two weeks, he’s experienced headaches, abdominal pain, and vomiting on school days. His grades are slipping, and he has stopped reading for fun. Mom states, “he seems depressed and he’s not himself anymore.”

Mark’s review of systems is negative except for headaches, abdominal pain, and vomiting. Mom states that the symptoms improve when he is not attending school. There is a family history of generalized anxiety disorder. Vital signs are within normal range for age, and height and weight are at the 50th percentile. He is up to date on immunizations and the physical exam is negative for any abnormal findings.

Assignment Information: Journal Article or Evidence-based Guidelines

Research and find one journal article with the similar case study or evidence-based guidelines from a peer-reviewed resource that is relevant to this week’s case study. The resource must have been published within the last five years (2019 or newer)

Instructions

On the title page of the assignment submission, include your name, as well as the author(s) names, date of publication (within 5 years), the title of the article, journal name, volume, and issue number, and page numbers.

The body of your submission should be no more than one page in length, in APA format, and should include a summary of the article’s purpose and findings, the reason for selection, and applicability to the assessment, plan, and management strategies you posted on the discussion board for this week’s case study.

Below is the plan/management and differential diagnosis for your review.

Case Study

Assessment:

Mark is a 9-year old boy presents to the clinic with his mother for complaint of headache, abdominal pain, and vomiting on school days for last two weeks. Mother is the primary source of information. Mark has missed 6 days of school and shows symptoms of anxiety and depression. Mother stated that he is a A grade student but recently his grades are falling, and he starts crying and yelling and doesn’t want to go to school. Family history is significant for generalized anxiety disorder. Vital signs are within normal limits. Physical exam is unremarkable, and ROS is negative for headaches, abdominal pain, and vomiting.

Plan and Management:

Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Disorders (SCARED) tool should be used to conduct the evaluation, along with Revised Children’s Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS) to narrow down the cause of anxiety and depression. Sub-items of RCADS such as separation anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety, social phobia, performance anxiety should also be used to validate the differential diagnosis (Runyon et al., 2018; Radez et al., 2022; Walter et al., 2020). Mood and Feeling Questionnaire (MFQ) should also be used since The MFQ consists of a series of descriptive phrases regarding how the subject has been feeling or acting recently. Results for MFQ reflect whether the phrase was descriptive of the subject most of the time, sometimes, or not at all in the past two weeks (Creswell et al., 2020).

Parent should then refer to a child psychologist for cognitive behavioral therapy and multidimensional family therapy. Encourage parent to monitor child’s sleeping pattern, eating habits, internet and media use and make a note for any unusual patterns. Parent should also meet with school management and teachers to discuss this behavioral change and discuss topics such as bullying, phobias or performance anxiety at school (Creswell et al., 2020; Kim et al., 2020)

Parent should be educated on when to seek emergency care in case of acute conditions or self-harm

Differential Diagnosis:

  1. Generalized Anxiety Disorder
  2. Social Phobia
  3. Separation Anxiety Disorder (Creswell et al., 2020; Elmore & Crouch, 2020).
