MPI Limbo Search

Limbo Search

Search for limbo records as you would for persona records found in the Persona Search. Below are the differences found between the two searches:

• Date of service
  Enter the date of service in this format: yyyy-dd-mm.
• Facility/MRN
  Either the facility or the MRN can be entered here. In the persona search, the two fields are separated. The same searching rules apply when entering either the facility or the MRN.
• Address fields
  Use the same rules for spelling and punctuation, but the fields are separated.
