Hello,
I have a provider (we'll call her Dr. A,) who performed an office visit, she also dictated in her note that "Dr. B performed OMM during the visit." Dr. A dictated the procedure just like she would if she had performed it herself. We asked Dr. B to do a separate note to dictate his procedure and to sign it, he has relayed to us that we shouldn't need a separate note for his procedure. I am unable to find any articles or resources to clarify whether or not a provider can document another provider's procedure and sign for it. If anyone has anything that can help, I would surely appreciate it.
Thank you,
Mary
