Block 7's instruction is to do what?

• A. List the referring physician
• B. Leave blank
• C. Enter the patients middle name
• D. Enter the patients employer

Answer: (B)

Block 7 is the place reserved for information about a referring physician, and you only fill it if there is a referring physician involved in the service. If no referring physician is involved, this block should be left blank. That’s why the correct choice is to leave it blank—entering the referring physician, the patient’s middle name, or the patient’s employer in this block would place data in the wrong place. Middle name and employer belong in other fields, not in the block intended for referring provider information.
