Face to face MD visits

[Antonia RN]

Our agency has a couple of patients who have not been seen by their primary MD for over a year now. The doctors keep renewing their medications and signing off on our orders and recerts. We are "threatening" to close their cases if they don't manage to get to their MD, or their MD come to them. We are sending reminders to the MDs about the law. It's getting down to the wire now for one patient in particular. How is this being enforced! What with patients going to hospitals and being treated by hospitalists (hate this) and still not being seen by their primary, what do you do?

Thank you.
