For testing, I added a few "Approved Service Providers" for a specific Referral CPT code. When I opened my test patient and created the Referral using that CPT code and attempted to add the Service Provider, it showed me the entire list. What is the purpose of the "Approved Service Providers"?
The patient's insurance and location was set to what was defined in the Referral Code under Codes and Categories.
Does anyone have any information on this? I have opened a ticket with GE in the meantime.
There is a check button when searching for service providers that says "Show only approved". It shorts the list to the approved provider you have selected.
If when setting up the order, you mark a particular provider has "Preferred", this provider will always appear in the order - no selection necessary. We have orders set up both ways - with approved and with preferred.
