Question: Does every note of every visit transcribed necessarily have to be signed in some fashion other than the transcriptionist's indicator of the physician dictating?
Answer: Yes. According to Amy D. Berret, an associate with Kean, Miller, Hawthorne, D'Armond, McCowan & Jarman in Baton Rouge, La., this is a federal Medicare/Medicaid requirement and not just an insurance carrier or state stipulation.
