New Law Mandates Doctors Must Provide “Continuity of Care” Documents to Their Patients at Each Doctors Visit

13 May 2016

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is requiring health care providers that file for “meaningful use” to provide (CCD) “Continuity of Care” documents to their patients at each patient visit. These documents provide a listing of the clinical data recorded by the clinic for each patient visit. Providing these documents allows the patient to view the pertinent medical data recorded at each visit. These documents are used to help educate the patient regarding their medical history, medication prescribed and their diagnosis for each visit to the doctor.
