The National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a 10-digit identifier required on all HIPAA standard electronic transactions. NPIs have
replaced all separately issued identifiers, including Medicaid PINs and Medicare UPINs, on HIPAA standard electronic
transactions. In the past, health plans assigned an identifying number to each provider with whom they conducted electronic
business. Since providers typically work with several health plans, they were likely to have a different identification number for
each plan. The NPI has been put in place so that each provider has one unique, United States federal government-issued
identifier to be used in transactions with all health plans with which the provider conducts business.

American Medical Association's Opinions
The Connecticut Medical Examining Board and the Connecticut Department of Public Health encourage you to read the following
opinions of the American Medical Association's Code of Medical Ethics related to common reasons for discipline on Connecticut
physicians licenses.
AMA Code of Ethics
Opinion 1.2.1 Treating Self or Family
Treating oneself or a member of ones own family poses several challenges for physicians, including concerns about professional
objectivity, patient autonomy, and informed consent.
When the patient is an immediate family member, the physician’s personal feelings may unduly influence his or her professional
medical judgment. Or the physician may fail to probe sensitive areas when taking the medical history or to perform intimate parts
of the physical examination. Physicians may feel obligated to provide care for family members despite feeling uncomfortable doing
so. They may also be inclined to treat problems that are beyond their expertise or training.
Similarly, patients may feel uncomfortable receiving care from a family member. A patient may be reluctant to disclose sensitive
information or undergo an intimate examination when the physician is an immediate family member. This discomfort may
particularly be the case when the patient is a minor child, who may not feel free to refuse care from a parent.
In general, physicians should not treat themselves or members of their own families. However, it may be acceptable to do so in
limited circumstances:
(a) In emergency settings or isolated settings where there is no other qualified physician available. In such situations, physicians
should not hesitate to treat themselves or family members until another physician becomes available.
(b) For short-term, minor problems.
When treating self or family members, physicians have a further responsibility to:
(c) Document treatment or care provided and convey relevant information to the patient’s primary care physician.
(d) Recognize that if tensions develop in the professional relationship with a family member, perhaps as a result of a negative
medical outcome, such difficulties may be carried over into the family member’s personal relationship with the physician.

...
(e) Avoid providing sensitive or intimate care especially for a minor patient who is uncomfortable being treated by a family
member.
(f) Recognize that family members may be reluctant to state their preference for another physician or decline a recommendation
for fear of offending the physician.
AMA Principles of Medical Ethics
Opinion 9.1.1 Romantic or Sexual Relationships wth Patients
Romantic or sexual interactions between physicians and patients that occur concurrently with the patient physician relationship are
unethical. Such interactions detract from the goals of the patient-physician relationship and may exploit the vulnerability of the
patient, compromise the physician’s ability to make objective judgments about the patient’s health care, and ultimately be
detrimental to the patient’s well-being.
A physician must terminate the patient-physician relationship before initiating a dating, romantic, or sexual relationship with a
patient.
Likewise, sexual or romantic relationships between a physician and a former patient may be unduly influenced by the previous
physician-patient relationship. Sexual or romantic relationships with former patients are unethical if the physician uses or exploits
trust, knowledge, emotions, or influence derived from the previous professional relationship, or if a romantic relationship would
otherwise foreseeably harm the individual.
In keeping with a physician’s ethical obligations to avoid inappropriate behavior, a physician who has reason to believe that
nonsexual, nonclinical contact with a patient may be perceived as or may lead to romantic or sexual contact should avoid such
contact.
