This doesn't sound like an Epic/CDC issue. This sounds like an insurance issue where they're not getting the medical coding they need. It's also possibly a hospital admin issue. Legally speaking, your doctors should be able to write a paper order for you to receive the vaccine (admin might disagree). Your medical coding experts in billing should be able to get you the required coding working with the insurance liason for the hospital.
Based on your definition of success, the paper orders fulfill that even if you don't get the coding and insurance coverage.
- jph 2y agoYes that's what I thought too. It turns out that doctors who are talking with me believe that their EPIC IT system is no longer able to do paper orders, and the vaccination nurses say there's no way to obtain the physical vaccine without a coded order. Everyone on staff tells me variations of fearing being fired or losing their license or employer retribution if anyone attempts workarounds.
