Does the patient name and DOS need to appear on each page even if can tell "belongs" with another page

This may be a carrier issue but my recommendation is to have the name and DOS on each page for a solid paper trial. I have heard some consultants/auditors state that they would not accept a record unless this information is present on each page.

My carrier has CERT recommendations listed on their site...

"All notes shall contain the patient's name and be dated and signed by the author".
