doctor finder - nanook

Posted: Mar 27, 2012

The AMA site, you have to type in certain code words before you get in...the UC Health site, you can't just type in a name or part of name, you have to scroll through a long list. Anyone got a way to find doctors in Florida that is simple without having to navigate through typing in codes for site access ...etc.

Sorry you didn't like my AMA suggestion. - sm

Maybe you could try googling Florida doctors and see if any sites come up that might be more helpful to you. Good luck!

I usually have really good luck typing the name and city - into Google

I use this web site:

http://upin.ecare.com/

You can put in just the first few letters of the last name and then select the state - works well for names where the spelling isn't clear based on the phonetics.

Thank you...this is easy to use!

yep, same here with google, and as a backup - anon

I use NYNPI.COM

I like it because it is simple, by state, gives fax numbers, and you can look using just first names when the marble mouths are dictating.

yup, same here - google

I am almost always able to find docs with google, particularly with context (i.e., John Smith cardiology).

Try National Provider Identifier Search.

This might help - sm

You can search across all doc finder websites using this search feature ( see link below ) instead of individually visiting each site and entering various search criteria. An example search query you would input in the search box there would be something like,

"* MD * Tavares, FL" cardiology

This should give you all MDs from Tavares, FL who are cardiologists. You can modify your search criteria similarly to find other things such as nursing homes for example.

Try the NPI Registry Search..if they get paid by the govt, they - L&L

have to be listed here. For any US State.

20 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now". Well, that's how MTs are being treated now. Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends. Are they sadistic or something. Why do we put u ...

react if we went in their offices and talked so fast that they couldn't understand what we said, if we ate during our visit, or yawned and continued talking? I'm just going to wager a guess that they wouldn't appreciate it very much. Sometimes, I think it would be fun to try just to see their reactions. There are some that I transcribe that if I ever got the chance to do that I would. Have an ESL right now that's talking way too fast. Do they not ...

Rambles on, makes no sense throughout the dictation at all, does not make complete sentences, dictates on a patient in the WRONG chart constantly, follows no format, which is required by YOU, cuts himself off but yet when you can understand him, he has a "bright" moment and makes sense is an absolute joy to transcribe???? Oh, and did I mention that he only dictates every third day even though he sees patients on a daily basis???? Mini-vent over, back to the confusion ... TIA ...

I got in trouble today because I put a wrong patient. The doctor dictated a billing number, name, and MRN. The MRN was had a different patient, but the billing number and the patient name matched the ADT screen. Not to mention the fact that he kept using "she" in the dictation and the MRN number matched a "he". So logically one would just think he had the wrong MRN and I didn't want another QA submission so I sent it through with the correct billing number, name, and ...

Unbelievable. They just sent a ton of attachments. No inservice on the "particulars" when you're filling out the demographic screen, just a TON of instructions without answering any questions. You watch the video on escription, download it, and then you're suppose to be good to go. Forget it. ...

I am a former Spheris MT, now begrudgingly a MQ MT (not that Spheris was all that great either). As was pointed out below, we are still on Spheris rules for the most part but I don't expect that to last forever. At Spheris, if we think a doctor has made a mistake, we are encouraged to flag it but that entails putting in a blank, just as if we didn't understand the dictator. If we have too many blanks in a given period, we lose our incentive pay. They do not diff ...

Okay, we've got this new French doctor at one of my hosptials. When I transcribe his dictation, in my head, I'm transcribing dictation form Gelles Marini from Brothers and Sisters and Dancing with the Stars. He's hard to understand, but I'm in love with him. LOL. It's a nice break from the other ESL doctors from the Middle East. I respect that they are learning English and I am sympathetic, but they cost me so much money because with some of them, I earn about $4 an ...

I have a doctor that still uses tapes and refuses to go digital or call-in. The problem is there is interference on the tapes and I can barely hear him. They think it is my transcriber, which it could be, but I don't think it would be worth the investment to buy a new transcriber for tapes when hardly any doctors even use them anymore! I need some opinions from my fellow MTs on this subject! I risk losing the entire account of 3 doctors (2 are digital) if I don' ...

This got me thinking, he is middle-aged, small 2-man practice, how many other small office need MT help and not going through nationals or doing EMR. I am getting a transcriber f ...
