Wrong Name on PRN Evaluation

1981flower said:

I previously wrote a post about fighting the DOH ( hope you read it and can help)After further reading my contract and my initial evaluation from the medical LMHC I noticed they wrote the wrong name on my initial PRN evaluation. Yes, most of the info is correct as in my personal info but towards the end, they called me the wrong patient name next to a pretty important section is that grounds for terminating the contract? or for a new evaluation? I am already under contract (less than 45 days) but haven't started IOP  but have submitted UDS since signing which is negative.

I'd contact a lawyer to ask but I'm guessing not. They seem to be able to make their own rules as time goes along. 

Thank you for your response, I will most definitely contact a lawyer, there is no way you can write the wrong name on a medical document and it is still valid. As someone who works in a hospital when that happens, you must verify the patient. and the rules should not change just because it's not a physical examination. they are still making a "diagnosis" or "recommendation for treatment" this is why I'm so confused 

Finding incorrect patient identifiers in a patient's record happens.  More frequently than you think.  As for invalidating the document, I agree with @Healer555 that it likely won't, especially if the majority is correct.  And, I agree that discussing this with an attorney; after reviewing the particulars if your case, he or she will ne able to advise you how best to proceed.

Best wishes.

Thank you for your response! I will make sure and find out more from A lawyer
