snowdrifter Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I work in FP -office only and take call for the practice 1 week/month. My SP also sees assisted living patients and is now wanting me to take calls from there also. He told me that I do not need privileges since it "isn't like a hospital" and that the private practice providers can take calls from the nursing home. I am pretty sure this isn't correct however, I can't find anything online to support that I need privileges to give verbal orders for patients at an assisted living when I am on call. I did not sign anything- in terms of paperwork/privileges when I was hired as I was told would not be seeing assisted living patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted January 9, 2018 Moderator Share Posted January 9, 2018 If you are just covering phone calls you don't need to be credentialed in my area - since you are not seeing patients unsure of your area Just let your doc know you want to talk with the NH to make sure - and oh yeah you need to be paid for this....
