Configuring a practitioner across multiple practices
If a practitioner works across more than one practice in the same PMS database, they must be configured separately for each practice.
For example, If Dr Jane Doe works at Practice 1 and Practice 2:
- Configure Dr Jane Doe at Practice 1, following the steps outlined above.
- Once Dr Jane Doe has been configured for Practice 1, return to the Not Yet Configured PMS Users tab to repeat the process for Practice 2.
Next step: Now that your practitioners are configured, the next step is to set up their Fee Rules. Please refer to our Knowledge Base Article for more information on Setting Up Fee Rules. Once fee rules are in place, you’ll be ready to run your first fee run.
