Record Provider Type

Process: Record basic provider information

A single provider record may have multiple types. Each type has its own status, so they can be managed separately from other type records. For example, you record one provider record for a hospital, then create provider type records for the pharmacy, medical clinic, counseling services, and so on. Each provider type record, in turn, has services associated with it.

You can update the type status when an existing provider's home study is in "Pending" status. You cannot update the record once the type status is "Approved" or "Certified."

Record the provider's type and type status for a new provider as follows:

1. From the Basic tab on the Provider Name Information screen, click Add Type for a new type record. The Provider Type screen appears.

2. Select the type in the Provider Type field.

3. Enter the date this type record is in effect in the Effective Date field.

4. Click Add Status. The Provider Type Status screen appears.

5. Select the status of this provider type record in the Type Status field.

6. Enter the date this status is in effect in the Effective Date field.

7. Click OK. You are returned to the Provider Type screen.

8. Click OK. You are returned to the Basic tab.

9. Click Next Task below to continue.

Record an update to an existing provider's type status as follows:
