Question
If an admitting physician states that an admission
to the hospital is based upon attempted suicide through the
over-ingestion of a sedative is that all-inclusive in
barring a claim for payment under Illinois Statute or any
other applicable codes???????
Answer
I am NOT an IL lawyer, but a statement made by the doctor is NEVER conclusive as doctors make mistakes. However it may start a string of presumtions that cause events that cause others involved with a claim or other matters to change their approach. For example if you were under consideration for being named Secretary of Housing in the new administration I think you'd have some explaining to do.... that he was telling the truth.
If there was an attempt, the best approach is to get therapy to show one has overcome the crisis and is dealing with it.
