Add a New Location for a Provider

Use the following steps to add a location for a provider.

1. Click Edit > System Tables > Electronic Prescribing > Prescriber Setup.

3. In the Recently Used Location of the New Prescriber Location dialog, you can select a Location that was previously entered for a provider in the system, if applicable. If a location is selected the Location Name, Address, City, State, Zip Code, and any Phone and Fax numbers will be populated in the corresponding fields.
    

4. If a Recently Used Location was not selected, enter a Location Name for the location you are adding, and then enter the Address, City, State, Zip Code, and the Phone and Fax number for the location.
    

5. Enter the SPI Number provided by STI Support in the corresponding field. Contact a STI Support representative if you forgot your SPI number.
    

6. Enter the provider's DEA Number for the location you are adding in the corresponding field, if applicable.
