New Practice Setup

With the New Practice Setup wizard, setting up a practice takes about 30 minutes or less. This wizard guides you in completing all necessary data fields for setting up a practice so that you can quickly begin the billing process.

The setup wizard launches if you:

• Sign into the Desktop Application (PM) and have no practices set up.
• Select an existing practice for which the setup was not completed.
• Add a new practice to the Tebra account.

Note: If you are adding an additional practice to your Tebra account, the insurance companies and plans that have already been set up can be shared between those practices; however, patient records cannot be shared.

New Practice Setup Click Settings > Company > New Practice. The New Practice Setup wizard launches.

Then, click New at the bottom of the Find Practice window and continue to step 2.
