Re: Transferring pts into or out of the US

hi, i work for a company that has the capability to transport pts overseas, and we are medically covered to practice on these pts, the only additional requirement is that you have a passport to enter another country.  i suppose it works under the same concept that if you have a license to practice in one state, you are covered to transport that pt to any other state.  mario"Fran Hirchak" <2jeka@rogers.com> wrote:
