How is prescription for BIPap Written - Marj
Posted: Dec 15, 2012
Patient has ALS with significant respiratory involvement. Prescription was for BiPap at 8 04 pressure. How should this be written? Is it 804, 8:04 or some other way these prescriptions are written?
Thanks for your help.

BiPAP - recentlyoutsourced
[ In Reply To ..]SUre it's not 8/4?
Listen for "over" rather than O or zero... - Old Anon
[ In Reply To ..]As the last poster said, it is 8/4. I googled BiPAP 8/4 for confirmation and received many credible hits.
I would say 8/4 - See Msg
[ In Reply To ..]I think it's over as well.
Also, to help you remember the BiPAP capitalization, the Bi part means bilevel in this case, and the PAP means positive airway pressure. The i is lower case because it's not a new word. You'll see this in other abbrevations, too.
Info is just to make your life easier, makes it easier to remember the capitalize or not.

Others may have figured this out but if this helps someone with getting prescriptions great. I was going through my 90 days probation, no insurance, but still had scripts with refills.

Secondly, if and when this mess gets figured out, don't forget about the loss of compensation to the MT for the month of Janu ...

There is a profession well hidden from the world, but involves your everyday care when you go to see your doctor. The skill is called transcription and a transcriptionist is the person trained to prepare a dictated voice recording from your medical provider into a legal document that goes into your medical record. When transcription became a skilled job back in the early 1960-1970s, the reports were typed on a manual typewriter, and then progressed onto the electric typewriter, and on to com ...
