Doctor signature

Requirements for a valid doctor’s signature

The following are the criteria used to validate a doctor or NNP signature in the US by some of the major medical authorities in America, including the CMS.

1. Your signature must be used for specific services you provided 
2. Your signature must be legible and comparable with your signature log
3. Your signature must be handwritten or digitally signed 

Rubber stamps are also acceptable you can prove you have a physical impairment that prevents you from hand signing

*Please note that we are not a licensed authority on this matter. We bring you information from free online sources like the CMS. Make sure you comply with the law by consulting the authority regulating your specific use of a doctor’s signature.

Make your personal doctor’s hand signature

A doctor’s signature is what your client usually needs from you, and it’s what they take with them when they go. In this respect, your signature acts as your seal of approval as a medical authority.

But in reality, your signature does more than just carry your authority – a great doctor signature will leave an impression of your professionalism as a medical practitioner. Why? nobody knows. But people tend to associate neat handwriting with competence.

That’s why we made a digital hand signature generator so that professionals like you can create and download their signature for use in digital documents and (how can we forget?) their email signature footer.
