This field is provided to record the code number of the physician who performed the most definitive radiation therapy.
Coding Instructions:
Enter the code number assigned to the primary radiation 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 radiation oncologist has been designated for this patient, this item should not be changed even if the patient receives care from another radiation oncologist.
