Alabama Orthopaedic Clinic, PC would like to welcome you to the Physician / NPI Directory.   This multi-purpose Physician Directory has been designed to save our community thousands of man hours contacting each other requesting a copy of their NPI identifiers needed for filing claims.  The Physician Directory also provides clinics with online access to physician contact information needed when referring patients to other providers within our community.  Simply add your NPI identifiers to the Physician Directory for all others to access.

Providing your clinic’s NPI identifiers will save you and your staff hundreds of man hours answering the phone and responding to numerous NPI requests.  While you’re at it, please verify each of your providers designated fax numbers. AOC will soon be automating the faxing of patient information, as well as, providing your staff with online access to reports cc’d to your providers via a “Virtual In Box”.  Also, please verify your contact information. Alabama Orthopaedic Clinic will use this data to publish their annual Physician Directory.  We will mail copies of the directory by May 2007. In the meantime, you may have full access to the electronic version of the 2007 Physician Directory by utilizing the functions above. 

This joint effort between AOC and MDnetwork provides a valuable resource for you and your staff.

Dean Brown, CEO
