Does anyone have a reliable source to look up doctor's last names? - Please sm

Posted: Feb 28, 2010

This patient I am typing now saw a Dr. s/l At-a-lo-ni but PA doesn't spell it out and doesn't say what kind of doctor he/she is, what state they practiced in, etc. Looked up on google but really came up with nothing. Thanks!

And here is the page I have directly bookmarked:

https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/NPPES/NPIRegistrySearch.do?subAction=reset&searchType=ind

This is my first go-to for doctor names, and I do not always have the spelling or even the city and/or state.

Thanks!!! That was wonderful! I found the doctor with just a - few keystokes + *!

Am I missing something? Why in the world with HIPAA regulations as they are now, should we be expected to looks here, there and everywhere for a cc physician and possibly risk sending copies to the wrong physician??? It seems to me the responsibility should lie with the dictating physician/PA whoever...to provide the necessary information. How long would it take to spell a name, given an address if necessary. Oh please. I feel the MT's are being taken advantage of again, but like sheep to the slaughter we all fall in line...

wait a minute - no sheep here

Sheep to the slaughter is a little extreme, no?

Some of us have ethical employers who do not wield threats or punitive measures with regard to HIPAA "violations".

HIPAA is totally misunderstood and the reactions to it - particularly on the part of MTSOs - are totally out of control.

Yes, you are missing something - ReadingComprehension101

No one said anything about a cc. The OP was simply looking for the correct spelling of a doctor's name. Sounds to me like the doctor's name was in the actual report as someone the patient saw.

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 ...

How do I correct an incorrect logoff time in schedule source (cable was down for 2 hours). I've searched MQCentral but only got a blank page under "policies." I've gone to timesheet, clicked on clock, highlighted the incorrect time, red-flagged it, but I don't know how to change the incorrect time. Maybe I should just leave a note in the box and CCM will fix it? Thanks guys! ...

*great ideas* ever actually turn out to be something BETTER? They always hype their BS up and then it turns out to be a huge let down, waste of time, and nothing but a HUGE Pain the ARSE. E-time sucked too, but this sucks EVEN MORE. They can't just leave bad enough alone. And for the life of me I can't figure out where to see our PTO hours. That was easy in E-time. Can anyone tell me where to find this? I'd greatly appreciate it. ...

Is ANYONE else having problems with SS/TW not showing the windows on left side of screen to go in and look at timesheets, collaboration or swap board.

It does not matter what I do, even shutting down my puter and going back in. It is taking my clock ins and outs, but if I wanted to use anything else on SS I cannot!!!! This is i ...
