Hello,
I have a situation where a provider has retired from a group practice and still has his license. Is it okay for the lab to accept the order or does the provider taking over the patient's care need to reorder the labs? Please provide sources if possible. The group physician lab feels it's better safe than sorry and to get a new order and the provider's office is not wanting to do that. The provider's office is using continuity of care as the reason. There is a provider assigned to review the results and treat.
Thanks
