This week, we will focus on discussing some basic concepts pertaining to ethics in healthcare, through the Real$-$World Ca $($at the end of Chapter $21).$

Kelly was a new coder who had never held an HIM job before. She had just graduated from college and passed her RHIT was hired by a local clinic and was so excited to start working. A few weeks later, her manager asked to meet with her. Th manager closed the door and told Kelly that she wanted her to code charts for a particular procedure using two codes in one so the reimbursement would be higher. The manager then proceeded to divulge information that the clinic was stru financially so anything extra would help. Kelly got the impression that if she did not comply they would let her go; and s needed this job. Also, since it was her boss asking, she felt obligated to do as she was told.
