Start the Line

Dispatched to local nursing home for “patient needing to go to the ER.” Upon arrival, facility’s nurse says patient needs to go to ER, the only level I trauma center in the area, for an IV. Just to start the line-no drugs pushed, not even saline, no other problems, just an IV placement.

    Simple solution: $2000 bill to the care facility. They wont be using the ER for their IV needs in the future.

      The pt is in a nurse home. She has health insurance and won’t even see the bill. That’s not a “simple solution” if the pt doesn’t even see the bill!
