Completing Patient Forms for Podiatrists
Guidelines for Completing Patient Forms for Podiatrists
Guidelines
The College considers the accurate and timely completion of necessary patient forms to be an essential aspect of good patient care.
Podiatrists should develop and implement a consistent approach to completing patient forms. Patients should be made aware in advance of the following:
- Fees for completing forms (in situations where form completion is not an insured service).
- How long it will take to deliver the completed form once the request is received. Podiatrists should be prepared to exercise discretion when faced with urgent requests.
