If you see a possible example of child abuse/endangerment, and you DO NOT see that the dr. has reported it, can we as coders report? Or is that against HIPAA? Can you just say that you think there might be child endangerment, but not any of the circumstances behind it? Or is just giving a name a HIPAA violation? Also to note, the dr. that didn’t report does not work with us or at that hospital anymore.
