Guest guest Posted December 10, 1998 Report Share Posted December 10, 1998 We are required to get the medicare forms signed by referring physician's for outpatients. The way we handle it , is that the initial referral (which 99% of the time is Eval & Treat) serves as the initial approval for treatment. We send the forms, keeping an unsigned copy until the signed one is returned. Our intermediarry has not had a problem with this. And I am not about to rock the boat. There would be huge delays in treatmnet if we did anything else. Faxed forms are not acceptable. They do want an original signature.
