The provider library

The provider directory and the preferred method that routes every order.

The provider library is the directory of physicians and referral sources that intake, orders, and billing all read from. It lives at Settings → Agency Management → Providers. What matters most here is each provider's Preferred Method — it decides how every order reaches them for signature.

Read the directory

The list shows every provider with columns Provider / Facility, Type, Preferred Method, and Rules. Type identifies what kind of source it is — MD, NP, PA, PCP, or an organization such as Hospital or SNF. Use the search box to find a provider, and View details on a row to see their Phone, Fax, Preferred Method, and Rules.

Add new providers with Add Provider.

The preferred method drives order delivery

Each provider's Preferred Method — portal/eSign, fax, or email — is not informational. When an order is approved and sent:

  • The provider's preferred channel is marked Preferred in the order's Send via options — eSign (DocuSign), Fax, or Email.

  • Sending routes by that preference automatically; the sender does not have to look it up.

  • Follow-up timing is also suggested from the provider's rules.

See Upload and send documents for the outbound flow itself.

Warning: A stale fax number or email quietly strands orders — they go out to a dead end and sit unsigned. When orders to one provider keep stalling, check their contact details and preferred method here first.

Rules

The Rules column captures provider-specific handling — special routing or signature requirements the team should honor when sending. Check it before working around a provider's process manually.

If something goes wrong

  • Orders to a provider keep going unsigned. Open View details and verify the Preferred Method and the fax or email on file. Orders follow the preference; fix the directory, not each order.

  • A provider is missing from intake or order screens. They are not in the library yet — add them here, then return to the order.

  • The same provider appears twice. Pick one entry as canonical and route new work to it; ask your administrator to clean up the duplicate.
