This field is provided for entry of a code number assigned to the physician following this patient for treatment at this institution. Use the physician's Kentucky License Number and develop your own codes for identifying out-of-state physicians who may be following your patients.
The web site for the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure is located at: http://kbml.ky.gov/. The link for the online directory is found under Online Searches, called Physician Profile/Verification of Physician License.
A lookup for NPI numbers is available at https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/
This field may also be used to generate mailing labels for follow up letters to these physicians.
Hospitals may use a special code for "Unknown" and/or leave this field blank if there is no alternate follow up physician.
