Some insurance plans have their own provider ID numbers, which are needed for claims instead of, or in addition to, the State ID Number or Provider Number. The Provider ID Setup enables you to cross-link multiple IDs to a provider and an insurance company to ensure that the correct ID is printed on insurance claims. You can also add, edit, clear, and copy these IDs.
Note: If you enabled passwords, users must have rights to "Provider ID Setup."
