Need a good site to look up doc names. sm - mtlt

Posted: Jan 31, 2012

I am needing a good site to search for docs for particular states. I've been using NPI, but the doc I am trying to find is not coming up. He/she has an unusual name and it is being dictated by another doc who is struggling to pronounce it. The doc I am needing to do a search on right now is in Missouri. I don't know the clinic. I only know that the patient is to follow with him/her for diabetes.

I sometimes use the AMA DoctorFinder web site. You can put in all or part of MD name and state, and you can also do a sound-like search if you're not sure how to spell dictator's name. I have definitely found many doctors using that site. Good luck!

Thank you so much! :) Soundalike is definitely what I need right now. nm - mtlt

lists per state, by first name only if you want, and gives fax numbers along with practices/addresses/phones.

Thank you. nm - mtlt

webmd.com and also just Google. I type in the name of the doctor+state+specialy and go from there if I could not find it on webmd.com. Hope this helps and good luck.

This is what I use!! - sm

I do the same, except that I use a customized version of Google called Medical Transcription Word Seeker or MT Word Seeker that searches just medical and MT-related sites.

When you do a search using this, you get refinement links at the top of the results page, clicking on which narrows down the search results further to websites on the topic clicked. For example, clicking on "Doc & Hospital Search" refinement will show results from doc & hospital finder websites exclusively.

I put in the doctor's first or last name and specialty / location in a search query such as "Bradford * MD * CA" Urology and click on the "Doc & Hospital Search" refinement link. This gives me a listing of all doctors matching that criteria. You can do this with normal Google as well.

There are other refinements on there as well such as "Medication Searcher," which will show results from just medication websites and others such as "Medical Abbrev," "Dictionaries," "Do-Not-Use Abbrev," "Nursing Home Search," among others. To search across all sites again, you'd have to click the "All Results" button.

Thank you. nm - mtlt

If you know the name of the hospital and not sure of the doctor's name, this might help.

Thank you. nm - mtlt

Anyone notice their W2 now actually says Nuance Transcription Services and no longer Transcend DBA Nuance...

They never told us about the change to Transcend and certainly didn't mention the change back to Nuance. Oh well. Just an observation. ...

Does anyone else ever have a problem with a doctor/nurse, etc. who sends out letters or just on regular reports who gives no complete names or addresses? We have a place to go look them up but it does sometimes take a chunk out of my time doing it. One or two minutes means a lot sometimes. I have one doctor who dictates letters to "Dr. Smith, Dr. Jones," etc. and there are only about 10 of each of those listed and sometimes you cannot tell what the specialty is to look it up.&n ...

So, this being the most friendly and up-to-date board around regarding MT practices, can I get some opinions about the HIPAA 'privacy rule' and your doctors using patient names in their notes, clinic or otherwise.

99% of the wasted "down time" I have in my work day is trying to decipher doctor names, patient names, referral names, dictator names, resident/assistant names and I'm literally sick to death of it.

When do you capitalize departments? I have been in the biz for 10 years, and my current QA staff is giving me conflicting feedback on my capitalization. One QA manager is giving me errors for not capitalizing, the other is giving me errors when I do! I was always taught that you didn't capitalize the department unless it was preceded by the proper name of the hospital (XYZ Hospital Emergency Department, etc). Also, as far as specialties, how do you handle those? For ...
