Physician and Allowed Practitioner Orders and Verbal Orders

Sets out how the Agency receives, records and follows physician and allowed practitioner orders: drugs, services and treatments only as ordered; who may accept a verbal order; how a verbal order is written down, read back, signed, dated and timed; the Agency’s time frame for the practitioner’s signature; and the Medicare and Michigan Medicaid rules that orders and verbal orders be signed before billing, that services be ordered before they start or change, and that ordering practitioners be enrolled in Michigan Medicaid.
