Ok if a patient currently has a caregiver and they change to another does the old care giver know whom the new caregiver is due to any paperwork? Obviously i dont want my patients old caregiver knowing anything about me

no, in fact they don't even get a letter saying that you removed them. Which is a flaw in the system in my opinion. Nothing worse than thinking you're legal when you're not.

Just ask him to heads up the previous cg ... so he knows where he is at. (courtesy)
Other than that no worries your good.

Hmmmmm, odd. I got a letter last year when my very first patient dropped me. It just said that I will no longer be providing care for him. It was funny because this patient talked me into this growing thing and then told me he would match me on equipment costs to get started and then after I spent three grand on gear, he stopped answering my calls and never spoke to him again. I'm guessing he just wanted free herb and didnt have the balls to tell me he couldn't afford to match me on the gear costs afterall. To be honest, I'm happy it turned out this way anyway because I own ALL of my shit. NOBODY else helped me get where I am today so I owe thanks to myself and I don't owe a stake of my resources to anybody. The lesson I learned was to be very careful about screening people before agreeing to something like this.
Sorry for the long tangential rambling. The point is, yes, the former caregiver SHOULD get something in the mail stating he has been dropped.

They have sent letters before. It is the state so weather or not they do it everytime? who knows but you should always let the previous caregiver know so they at least know where they stand. In fact LARA says it is YOUR responseability. But i have seen letters that they have sent.

glad it worked out for ya! that is nice to know because i have never seen any letters on my end..but there has only been one instance when i would have got one.
Most of the time when me and a new patient do a change form to bring them into my list i dont even get one of those blue letters stating it is now legit and with the CG serial number. These guys have sped up original applications quite a bit but i feel like some of the in betweens they get lazy with.
Either way for firstoffallen im sure they don't reveal any pertinent info.
