The Provider NPI Drop-Down LBF Field seems to function by listing everyone in the Address Book who has an NPI.
This will include “local” providers (who work at our clinic for example) as well as “external” providers (a pediatrician who refereed a patient to us for example)
For fields like Referring Provider (ref_providerID) and others, is there some way to filter / instead list something like “everyone in the Address Book who has an NPI AND has Type == External Provider”?
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated - Thanks!
Ya, that’s what we’ve been doing, but for things like ref_providerID (Referring Provider) where we need to use a Provider NPI field (or something similar) so certain features (like auto-filling Referring Provider for each new encounter of the given patient, or auto-filling the Referring Provider’s NPI on the CMS 1500 form) work, we currently need to select from a the single drop-down that also includes everyone who works at the clinic.
If no magic solution already exists for this, would the “correct” way to handle this be for me to make PR to add 2 new default fields (something like “Provider NPI External” & “Provider NPI Internal”) or would you suggest a different approach / does it sound like I’m missing something obvious?
