Caregivers & July 1st

[Steelwool]

So, does anyone know how a caregiver is suppose to register on this new registry or are they automatically putting current caregivers on it? I don't want to be on it. I know how patients can change providers but how do caregivers drop patients and cease being caregivers?

The only thing you can do to drop patients is to have THEM fill out the change of caregiver form:

They probably already have a database of caregivers. I don't recommend submitting to the regulatory scheme. Ask the MMCs how they like it. Follow a20 STRICTLY and you should have a leg to stand on in court.

that is what the dept of health told me. there is no way for a caregiver to drop patients. I may just send them certified mail requesting removal from the registry and their records.

So, not only am I telling my disabled patients, one of which can't walk, that I no longer can provide for them but they have to fill out a form, get it notarized, and send it into the DOH? This is crazy! Things sure have changed...for the worse.
