Complete Provider Web User Shell

Updated: 10/11/2024|Views: 27

Upon signup, a provider web user is automatically created as a shell. The provider shell includes the license type and product module(s) according to the contract for System Administrators to create the provider's user.

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. Upon the first log in, new users are prompted to create a new password.

System Administrators can also claim a provider shell using an existing non-provider user if applicable. This merges the two users and populates the provider shell with the details of the non-provider user.

Claim Provider Shell

Claiming a provider shell is not required to complete the provider user setup. If a provider shell is claimed, the details of the non-provider user (e.g., name, email address, roles, etc.) merges into the provider shell.

  1. Claim This Provider: Option only displays when editing a provider shell and there are existing non-provider users in the practice. Select an active non-provider user from the drop-down list. The non-provider user details populate.
  2. Continue to edit and/or populate all fields as necessary.
  3. Click Claim This Account. The provider user is complete.
