Re: Letter of referral

[Guest guest]

Thank you. For one doctor I used he only wanted the name, date and on the

same line. The way you give is what I learned when I took Medical

Assisting but again what the client wants is what we do. I will go ahead

and use this one you gave and I learned and having already put a call in

to her re a subscription to Little Blue Book I will verify it with her

then.

AS TO LITTLE BLUE BOOK: Do you all utilize these? I guess if you are

doing a national account they would not be helpful but when you are doing

local accounts I think they are a necessity. In this same letter, which

doctor spelled everything but the street name of a doctor and his name

(in the body of the letter) I went to the Internet and found nothing

under the group he belonged . I had no idea how she was spelling his last

name as it was not the 'typical' American sounding name. So...

I went to the phone book which of course did not list podiatrists in the

body of the Physicians/Surgeons or in a category of Podiatrist. Finally I

found at the end of the physicians listing under Surgeon/Podiatrist. All

of this could have been avoided if I had a local (county) listing like

the Little Blue Book. Problem is it costs 15. and you have to order 3.

Again this was what it was 5 years ago when I worked in another county.

Doctors in this area seem to be always moving and our local Internet or

phone listing is not updated.

Thanks for all your help.

That's how I am required to do it.

-- Letter of referral

This is the first time I had to type a letter that went into the 2nd

page. This doctor has her picture as part of the letterhead and it takes

up a lot of room but even with that I always was able to fit the entire

letter on the first page.

Is there a set pattern for typing a second page. How do you all do it. Do

you just type Page 2 with the patient's name on top or under the date?

I will probably call her and ask her wishes but just wondered what you

all do.

Thanks.

page # sample. Again, thank you.
