HOW TO SETUP THE PHYSICIANS (REFERRING) LIST

TPS 2000 gives you the ability to enter all of the physicians that refer patients to your office. This list is then available when enter patient claims.

Click on the Open File Folder on the task bar and select Physician (referring) Information.

TO ADD A NEW ENTRY

Click the plus (+) sign to start a new record.

From here is simply typing in the information. You have the ability to setup seven different numbers for identification of this provider. A single physician may refer many different patients to your office. Some may require the Medicare ID, some the Blue Shield, etc. This type of setup allows you to set up the physician once, then, when entering in the patient claim, select the correct number by which this case will recognize the referring physician.

There is a field for Contact. If there is a specific person with whom you deal at this physician’s office, you may enter here for your records.

The field, Taxonomy Code, is where you will enter the code that represents the classification for this practitioner.

When you have completed this entry, simply click the plus (+) to add another entry, or close the screen with the small “X” in the upper right hand corner.

TO EDIT AND EXISTING ENTRY

There may be times when an existing entry in the program needs to be corrected or changed. A new address, phone number, or even a name change may be needed.

Click on the Open File Folder on the task bar and select Physician (referring) Information.

When the screen opens, click on the “show a list of records” to bring up the full list of all entries in this area.

This will bring up a search grid. Find the entry that needs to be corrected and double click or hit enter to bring up this record.

You are now ready to make your changes.
