We provide initial care for BBF exposures
for students and travelers - meaning we draw initial blood and would give
three days of meds if indicated by a positive HIV source.
Follow up care, including continued
blood draws and medications is under the direction of their WC or school
liability insurance.
The involved person is directed to their
WC provider/school for further direction.
For students, this is outlined in our
contract with their school/college.

[MCOH-EH] BBP
exposures

I am wondering how other clinics bill for
blood borne pathogen exposures. Our company caters to member organization
hospitals/practices as well as many outside our system clients. Historically,
we have billed the member organization for our services. We would
like to move to billing worker’s comp. Getting the worker’s comp
information on our members organizations is not an issue, however, we see
many locums, travelers, etc. that would be covered by other worker’s comp
carriers. How do you go about gathering this information? Do
your facilities charge worker’s comp for BBP exposures?
Thank you for any guidance you may offer!
