What doctor is responsible for referring me to have a sonogram on my ovaries and fallopian tubes?

Hello. I was diagnosed with PCOS a few years ago and have been trying to conceive for a few months now with no success. I'm interested in having a sonogram on my fallopian tubes and ovaries just to ensure nothing on that side is hindering me from trying to conceive. What doctor should refer me to have this procedure done? My OBGYN, Endocrinologist, or PCP? Thank you for your help.|||Your ob/gyn should be able to perform the sonogram. If they want to refer you, you should go to a reproductive endocrinologist.|||Talk to your OBGYN. Sonohystograms normally aren't done until you have been trying for a year, and can't find any other reasons for infertility. SHGs aren't the most pleasant of procedures, and if your doc hasn't deemed it necessary yet, it probably isn't, especially since you've only been trying for a few months.

How long does a doctor's office keep your medical records when you are switching doctors?

I am switching my kids doctor's and I was just wondering how long will the other office keep a copy of there records in case we need a back up on hand? We live in GA.|||He usually passes them to next one of yours. But for at least a year. Longer if your active as a regular visitor.|||wow. yahoo answer is becoming so stupid Sorry. Allowing anyone to answer questions "even people who don't know" will lead to alot of people making mistake. By law doctor have to keep children medical records "unless transfered to the new doctor" until the 1 year after the childs 18th birthday.

What doctor should check for hormone imbalance?

I need to go to a doctor and she should be what a gynecologist?|||Yes a gynecologist or a family practice or internal medicine dr can also do the same testing, but the gyno is probably the best bet, unless you have other things going on not related to being a woman the the general practice may be best for you.|||The best one is an Endocrinologist (hormonal disorder specialist), but your GP and Gyn can do it too.

What characteristics would a doctor at a Psychiatric Hospital have or need?

I'm playing a doctor at a psychiatric hospital in a play, and my character has no description whatsoever in the script, so I'm building it on my own. First I wanted to find out more about what my character's traits would be because of their profession. What kind of characteristics, like attitude, mood, things like that, would a doctor working at a Psychiatric hospital have?





Also, in the play it is a very upscale expensive Psychiatric Hospital, if that would make any difference.|||I worked in a psyche hospital


our doctors were always calm, never rattled,never alarmed when a patient went off. often annoyed or frustrated


they were never happy go lucky, or talkative or funny witty or engaging. They would listen alot -like at lunch, but rarely add to the conversation

When does Medicare require the referring doctor's name on electronically filed claims?

I've run into problems when calling referring doctors' offices for their NPI numbers, which are necessary if the referring doctor's name is on the claim. Is the name of the referring doctor ALWAYS necessary on electronically-filed Medicare claims? Some offices don't even know what one is!|||The referring doctor must be listed when the services preformed are because of a referral.





Example: A primary doctor referred a patient to 10 Physical Therapy sessions for low back pain. An NPI and Referring Doc name must be listed.





If the same patient goes to the Physical Therapist and requests treatment himself because his back hurts, no NPI is needed.





Effective January 1, 1992, a physician or supplier that bills Medicare for a service or item must show the name and UPIN (or NPI) of the ordering/referring physician on the claim form, if that service or item was the result of an order or referral from a physician. If the ordering physician is also the performing physician, the physician must enter his/her name and assigned UPIN as the ordering physician. If the ordering/referring physician is not assigned a UPIN, the biller may use a surrogate UPIN, e.g., until an application for a UPIN is processed and a UPIN assigned. (See 搂14.9.2.)








You can search the NPI directory and get the numbers yourself (most of the time) on this site: https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/NPPES/NPIRegis鈥?/a>|||NO|||Yes it is necessary. If you need an NPI number you can go to the NPI registry. If there is a medical provider that has not registered for one, you will have trouble so you may want to steer clear of using their services. Most offices have you sign a financial responsibility form stating you will be responsible for what is not covered by insurance.
