Do provider contacts created using the "Add New" option within the Providers feature get added to the main list of providers going forward?

Does AWARDS limit the provider search results to include only those providers with a Specialty that matches the Type selected?

Why does the agency name not display when I search for the provider to assign to a consumer?

Do provider contacts created using the "Add New" option within the Providers feature get added to the main list of providers going forward?

Yes, new provider contacts created within Providers are added as shared contacts by default.  Specifically, when entering the provider's information the Shared option appears on the Add New pop-up box and defaults to "Yes." The user can decide at that point whether the provider should appear on the global list (by leaving the default set to "Yes") or should not (by selecting "No" instead).  This setting can be updated within the Providers Directory by users with the Referral/Provider Agencies Data Entry permission.

Does AWARDS limit the provider search results to include only those providers with a Specialty that matches the Type selected?

No.  AWARDS is designed to be flexible, so it does not filter or limit the assignment of providers based on specialties.

Why aren't changes/additions to Providers info generating face sheet modification messages?

While edits to a client's Support Services Contacts list would generate these messages, the new Providers feature does not include this functionality.  If an enhancement is made and these messages are triggered by Provider updates in the future, we will announce that change via FootholdConnect and the FootNotes newsletter.

Why does a provider display with an address not entered in the Contacts section of the provider record under Referral/Provider Agencies?

Contacts created under Referral/Provider Agencies default to the address of the agency/practice they are assigned to, unless a separate address is added under Administration > Providers Directory.

Return to the top of the page.

Why does the agency name not display when I search for the provider to assign to a consumer?

If no agency is displayed on the record when a provider is selected, then the provider was not associated with an agency in the Providers Directory.
