• Availability for after hours emergencies: Allcare requires the PCMDs / CoPCMDs to provide telephone contacts - both cell and landline—for after hour emergencies. Allcare uses Prompt Answerphone out of New Jersey (732-363-2600). PMCDs should program their caller ID to indicate "Emergency Services" to identify the service call. PCMDs are required to take these calls and respond to the patient as they see fit. PCMDs are not expected nor required to go to the office to see a patient. Nevertheless, patients who have been seen recently, especially surgery patients, are always of utmost concern. PCMDs should weigh the factor of patient recognition into their handling of all emergency phone calls, as Allcare is sensitive to our dentist's vulnerability to drug seekers. PCMDs are not required to take emergency phone calls call’s while on approved leave.
