Provider user accounts are automatically created as a shell upon signup. The provider shell includes the license type and product module(s) according to the contract for System Administrators to create the provider's user account.
Before completing the shell, be sure to have the provider's full name, their National Provider Identifier (NPI), valid email address, and valid phone number on hand. Once created, the system will automatically send an email to the provider with their username and login instructions. New users are prompted to create a new password upon the first login.
When applicable, System Administrators can claim a provider shell using an existing non-provider user account. This will merge the two users and populate the provider shell with the details of the non-provider user.
Important Note: System Administrators must complete all provider shells before they can add additional providers to practice. The option to create a new Provider will be disabled until all provider shells are completed.
Access Provider Shell
- Hover over the User icon and click on Practice Settings. The Practice Settings page opens.
- Click User Settings. The User Settings page opens.
- Click Complete next to the Physician Provider shell. The Edit Provider page opens.

Note: The claim option only displays when editing a provider shell and there are existing non-provider user accounts in the practice.
