At our institution, if the request is received more than "30" days from the collect date, we create a new HOV for the patient. That way the addendum is still on the same case number. The collect date is changed by our LIS department to be the "request to pull from archive" based on Medicare requirements. We add the requesting physician to the existing case.

How do all of you handle the billing on these? Do you ask the clinician to send updated insurance information and then log in a new case?
