For a doctor the problem is that it MUST be the doctor himself or herself to access the program- no agents or assistents allowed. Then if you do find a probelm you are not generally allowed to pass on the information directly to other health care providers that might be concerned. The solution might be to ease up on the access (office employees have access to everything else anyway) and require a look-up for for C-II scrips only. C-III and C-IV are subject to abuse, but the hardcore problems are the C-II. A proper internet hook-up and this look-up by the employee on behalf of the doctor will only take a minute-less than doing the insurance checks. THEN provide for limited exemptions to the look-up for out of office circumstances. Most current professionals have some mobile internet capability anyway.dlk Regarding OARRS;
