Information Sheet on Fees for Drugs and Services
Clients can request , and be provided with , an itemized account of the services provided and the fees charged . The College learned of a trend that facilities were not itemizing costs of drugs and services clearly or consistently . It is a regulatory requirement for fees and charges to be shown separately for drugs and those for advice or other services .
To be compliant with this requirement , it should be clear in the medical record that fees for drugs are distinct from the fees for services . This information is most often recorded on invoices as an itemized list of drugs and services that were provided . Other areas in the record where this information is found are on treatment estimates or in the progress notes .
For further information and related sample documents , the information sheet is now available .
