The Utility --►Provider --►Provider Provider --►Create option is used to create new records in the Utility --►Provider --►Provider Provider screen, completing the columns in that table with the information entered here. The feature does NOT modify existing records. The Utility --►Provider --►Provider Provider screen is used to maintain additional insurance-company-assigned Provider and/or Group Numbers, as may be required when billing.
The program’s hierarchy when billing charges first looks in the Utility --►Provider --►Provider Facility screen for a match of the Billing Provider, Insurance, and Facility. If a match is not found, the program looks for a match of the Billing Provider and Insurance here. If a match is not found in either table, Intellect uses the information set up in the Utility --►Provider screen.
Before completing the Utility --►Provider --►Provider Provider --►Create screen, it may be helpful to check the Utility --►Provider --►Provider Provider screen to see if records for the same provider and insurance exist in order to see which fields should be completed.
