Re: Another NPP question

[Doug Webb]

Craig, I agree with your position.  I think that a signed document needs at least one full signature.  Having that full signature and date, I would think that initials other places should be OK (they work for the money people).   The opinions expressed here are my own and not necessarily the opinion of LCMH.   Douglas M.

We are drafting our aknowledgement of receipt form for existing patients for distribution.  In 164.520 it describes "acknowledgement of receipt"  I am not finding specific language that requires they sign that they have "Read and Understand"  It would then seem that they would sign that we have delivered the NPP.  Is anyone reading that any differently??
