Service Locations

Updated: 11/05/2024|Views: 8391

Service locations are places where providers render services to patients. This includes locations not at the same address as the main practice (e.g., local hospitals, outpatient clinics, rehabilitation centers). One or more service locations must be created before you can begin scheduling appointments, entering encounters, and sending claims.

You always begin with finding the service location before creating, editing, or deleting a service location.

Find Service Location

  • Click Settings > Service Locations. The Find Service Location window opens.
    Tip_Icon.png Tip: To narrow down the list when there are numerous service locations, use the Look For search bar to enter all or part of a keyword for the service location. Then, click Find Now.
