This field is provided to record the code number of the physician who is managing this patient’s care at your institution.
Coding Instructions:
Enter the code number assigned to the physician managing this patient for treatment at your institution. Use the physician’s Kentucky Medical License Number or codes developed by your institution (for non-KY physicians) to record physicians involved with this case. The web site for the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure is located at: http://kbml.ky.gov/. The link for the online directory is found under Online Searches, called Physician Profile/Verification of Physician License. A lookup for NPI numbers is available at https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/NPPES/NPIRegistryHome.do.
Do not update this item. Once a managing physician has been designated for this patient, this item should not be changed even if a different managing physician is assigned.
This field may be left blank for cases diagnosed prior to 1/1/2007.
