RE: How to manage coverage

You could change your message for when you

are in the air – let them know you will be flying and will return their

calls when you land, and they can go to the ER if needed w/o talking to you

first (some pts wait until hearing from their doc first). I haven’t been

airborne more than 5 hours at a time, but haven’t had any problems with

returning calls to my pts. Enjoy your trip!

How to manage coverage

How do you manage coverage when you are a solo

practioner and are

leaving the country for a few days? Usually I take all my own calls,

all my patients have my cell phone number, and I rarely get any calls

as I have a small panel of young healthy patients. I can get the calls

overseas; however, there is the time that I am in the air that I am

concerned about.

Thank you.
