This field is provided to record the code number of the physician who performed the most definitive systemic therapy.  

Coding Instructions:

  • Enter the code number assigned to the primary medical oncologist.  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 medical oncologist has been designated for this patient, this item should not be changed even if the patient receives care from another medical oncologist.
