Laboratory Order Compliance for Ambulatory Service Patients
Effective May 1, 2002, BWH will begin to strictly enforce its documentation policy for clinical lab test orders on outpatients. The performance of these services without a complete laboratory requisition is not reimbursable. From May 1 to June 30, temporary staff will be located at the phlebotomy sites to screen incoming laboratory requisitions and facilitate documentation. Forms that are not fully documented will be returned immediately to the ordering provider for completion. Laboratory services will not be provided until the requisition form is complete.
For more information or a copy of the actual policy, contact Jack McCabe in Laboratory Administration at ext. 2-6245 or via email (jmccabe@partners.org).
BPP at Faulkner to Open May 1
Brigham Primary Physicians (BPP) at Faulkner will be open for patient care on May 1. BPP’s former location along the BWH Pike closed as of April 25 for the move over to Faulkner’s campus. Drs. Jill Goldman, Lisa Owens (medical director), Roy Welker, Diana Post, Heather Heiman and Michael Healey will be the physicians affiliated with the relocated practice. Drs. Pedro Sanchez and Susan Sadoughi, formerly of BPP, have become members of Brigham Internal Medicine Associates (BIMA), located at BWH. BPP at Faulkner is located in suites 4070 and 4970 on the 4th floor of Faulkner Hospital and the new main number is 617-983-7699. The newly located practice will maintain its regular hours and schedules and will accept a limited number of new patients.
