The Scheduling Provider Code is the key field that uniquely identifies the information about the scheduling physician or healthcare provider. Scheduling Provider Codes can be numeric or alpha-numeric. They are used during Scheduling and can be viewed during Patient Entry at the Referral Authorization Window.
Note: The Scheduling Provider Code is a separate field from the billing Provider Code and has a different function, although for convenience you may assign the same code to both. You can link the two codes together during Scheduling Provider Maintenance.
