RE: identification of people at front desk

RE: Are DME Vendors BA?

Vikas - I would consider this part of treatment - as a result, a BAC would not be required. Dan Kelsey Practice Advisor Indiana State Medical Association 800-257-4762 (317) 261-2060 (317) 261-2076 - fax -Original Message- From: Vikas Budhiraja [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday

EMS and Privacy Notice
