ReplyDeleteHow would you confirm if a different provider has rendered the same service? Many times representatives won't disclose this kind of information, much less the NPI.
ReplyDeleteThe provider is already aware of these services, and either the NPI or provider name would suffice to verify whether the service has already been rendered. You can ask the client for confirmation and then take the appropriate action.
