Explain the process an office must use when a physician may be unavailable for an extended period of time or when the physician leaves the practice.
What will be an ideal response?
The office manager should write a letter to the patients of the practice covered by the physician explaining the reason for the absence, the time frame for the leave, and the other physician(s) available to care for the patients during the absence. A copy of the letter should be placed in the patient's file. In certain situations, a dismissal letter may be sent and filed.
