Click Settings>Click Referring Providers

Click Add New + to enter Referring Providers

Option 1: Referring providers can be added by selecting the NPI Number option

• Enter the NPI number and our system will run a query lookup in the NPI registry data base to confirm the NPI is a valid number

Option 2:

Select the “Add Manually” option

Then add the provider’s first and last name (Required)

It is optional, but recommended, to complete the NPI number, address detail fields, facility name, and taxonomy code

• The same referring provider with same NPI # and same Taxonomy code cannot be duplicated

• Referring providers with the same first and last name with a different Taxonomy code can be added

• The lookup registry is an aid to help populate the referring provider full data but if it is not used, you can manually enter the data and save a new referring provider

  • NPI registry database: https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/registry/help-api

  • If the search result in the NPI registry matches more than one record, a pop-up screen will show matching records for you to select from
