Does anyone know if it is possible to use MEL in conjunction with MEL_ADD_ORDER to specify the "Referring To:" field for orders? I am trying to either use MEL or hard-code an order to specific providers. Thanks,

I was looking into this very thing. If anyone finds a way, please let us know.

The only other option I saw, was to create an order that has the referring provider hardcoded in CPS, not in VFE.

So you would have an order for like "Referral: Rheumatology Associates" and that would be go directly to them with TOC checked.

I just don't find the idea of making one of these for every provider we would refer to... We may just have to train our users to select a provider from GE's order module.

If I remember correctly, MEL_ADD_ORDER specifically does not work with Referrals.

Perhaps changed at some point, but I remember researching this previously.

This is correct, mel_add_order does not work with Referrals. However, you ~could~ use "Test orders" and label them as referrals AND mark it as a Transfer of Care.

There still lacks a method of associating the service provider dynamically, outside of insurance preferred, without user intervention.
