After every doctor's visit or specialist appointment, is a medical letter written by a specialist to the family doctor?
After every doctor's visit or after every specialist appointment, is a medical letter written to the family doctor by a specialist?
For example, if I go to the rheumatologist every three months, does he or she have to write a letter to my family doctor every three months?
And please with reasons
As a rule, a note is entered in the file after (almost) each consultation, and a doctor’s letter is usually also written to the assignee (who issued the transfer) and is also sent there.
*foreseen, the Pat. did not contradict this.
If, however, a control is made within a few days, for example, “only” one does not write a letter again (at least if there are no significant changes)
Why don’t you write a doctor’s letter to the family doctor again if only one control has been made and no significant changes have been made?
And why, after almost every consultation, a note is usually entered in the file and the doctor’s letter is sent to the doctor’s doctor or the referee?
because it is unnecessary effort if nothing is to be communicated “essentially”.
due to documentation (for example, the work/activity of the doctor or your visit there is documented)
Only when crossed on the co-treatment transfer.
What does co-treatment mean?
Then treat both doctors
If the medical consultation took place after the doctor’s transfer, a doctor’s report is usual, but not necessarily necessary.
Why is a doctor’s report usual, but not mandatory?
When is the doctor’s letter to the doctor mandatory?
So the doctor does not have to write a doctor’s letter to the doctor every 3 months?
No, if you’re still in treatment with the rheumatologist.
