Utility/Provider/PROVIDER Create
The Create option is used to aid entry of /Provider/Provider information. When the Create option is selected from the /Provider/Provider Menu, On-Staff will display the following fields. To exit the Create process at any time, press the [Delete] key.
Clinic No.: Enter the clinic number for which you want to add /Provider/Provider information to.
Provider Code: Enter the /Utility/Provider <Provider Code> of the provider for which you are adding information to.
Box 24K: Enter the provider’s assigned provider number which is to appear in Box 24K of the HCFA 1500 claim form for the carrier whose Payor & Office ID you will be entering. This entry will be placed under the /Provider/Provider <Provider No.> heading.
Box 33: Enter the group’s assigned group number which is to appear in Box 33 of the HCFA 1500 claim form for the carrier whose Payor & Office ID you will be entering. If this provider does not have a group number enter his provider number again here. This entry will be placed under the /Provider/Provider <Group No.> heading.
Payor/Office Code: Enter the /Utility/Insurance <Payor & Office Code> field entry of the carrier that you are creating a /Provider/Provider entry for. For example, Blue Cross has numerous P.O. Boxes in California but only one Payor & Office ID for that state, BC001NOCD (found on the Participating Payors-Payor ID Table sent to you by IMS). Thus, to add a /Provider/Provider entry for all Blue Cross insurances whose address is within the state of California, you would enter BC001NOCD here. OR, since ALL Blue Cross Payor & Office ID’s (no matter what the state) begin with BC, you could enter BC* here to add a /Provider/Provider entry for ALL Blue Cross insurances within ALL states. WARNING: Be extremely careful when using an asterisk (*).
After pressing [Enter], On-Staff will display the following as it searches each /Utility/Insurance <Payor & Office Code> field, finding those that match the requested Payor/Office Code:
