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.

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!
Karen
