Block 6 requires what if the insured is the same as the patient?

• A. The insureds address and phone number; SAME if insured is the same as patient; complete after blocks 4, 6, and 11
• B. The insureds employer name
• C. The patients emergency contact
• D. The payers policy number

Answer: (C)

Block 6 is the place to record an emergency contact for the patient. When the insured is the same person as the patient, you don’t duplicate insured details; instead you provide a person who can be reached in case of an emergency or if there’s a need to contact someone about the patient’s care. The patient’s emergency contact ensures there’s a reliable point of contact available for urgent situations or questions related to the claim. The other options would place information in the wrong areas or duplicate data that isn’t needed in this block (for example, insured’s address or employer name belong in different sections, and the payer’s policy number goes elsewhere). So the correct data to include in this scenario is the patient’s emergency contact.
