This week I began my second rotation: insurance. This is the rotation I was least excited about. My responsibilities involve emailing therapists and doctors to inquire about whether a patient is ready for discharge, as well as calling insurance companies to acquire precertification, review, or discharge for a patient during their time at the program. For the first couple days of the rotation I observed the other clinical RA\u2019s make these calls, but felt I was ready to do it on my own soon after. I like the freedom of being able to make the calls on my own, as well as feel like I am lessening the workload of the other staff members. The intern on the insurance rotation before me was not comfortable with making these calls alone until into the second week, so I felt helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I mentioned previously that my first rotation was observing and taking notes for the structured clinical interview. After the 2-3 hour interview with a patient is complete, a very comprehensive report must be written up for the treatment team. This involves history of present illness, psychotropic history, medical history, family history, psychosocial history, risk and protective factors, mental status exam, and a primary diagnosis. I was originally told to write the psychosocial history section, but was later on given many more sections to write. I received a lot of positive feedback on my writing and appreciated being given different sections to write, especially as each patient varied so much. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A large part of my internship has been data entry. At any time we are not busy we are entering data. Because I was ahead of other interns on my data entry, I spent almost a full day this week reorganizing the entire data room in order to make it easier for interns and research assistants to find the data they are looking for, which I hope will be helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although it is only my third week of this internship, I feel like this week I was able to demonstrate<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3993,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[76614],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal-contributions"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3993"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1188\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/jepsoninternship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
