The Provider Setup feature allows admin users to view all providers currently registered for the logged in trading partner. Users can also add, edit, or activate/deactivate a provider.
Provider Setup includes a section for Provider Based Licensing information. The Billing Type field is uneditable and displays the type of billing for the user along with the provider count (Example: Per Provider (12) indicates the user is billed per provider for a maximum of 12 providers). Billing types include the following:
Users can add a specific number of providers in Provider Setup based on the number of purchased licenses for their TPID or group of TPIDs. Users are unable to add more providers than they have purchased. If a user attempts to add more providers than they have purchased, an error message displays stating they have exceeded the maximum number of purchased licenses and to contact eMEDIX Sales to purchase additional licenses. If a provider is deactivated in Provider Setup, that license can be used by another provider. This provider limit only applies for billing type Per Provider.
