If your doctors practice from multiple locations it's important to ensure you have a site of service listed for each location they visit. This will allow you to ensure the appropriate provider number appears on invoices and is transmitted electronically. It also provides an opportunity to easily determine which locations are generating what income. 

How to add the site 

To add a site of service for a doctor go to File > User Preferences and select the Practice Sites tab. Select the  icon and you will be presented with this window: 

Place: This will be the name of your service location.  

Provider No: This will be the provider number specific to the site of service. If you are unsure what this is, please contact Medicare to clarify.  

LSPN: This is your Location Specific Provider Number and is allocated by Medicare to identify diagnostic imaging locations. 

Facility ID: This is the identifier issued by Medicare for hospitals. This section will only be necessary to Genie users who utilise the ECLIPSE billing function. If you are unsure of what this ID would be, please confirm with the facility or refer to this health.gov.au website.

Default Site for which practice: If you have multiple practice locations for your Genie number, you can set this site of service as the default when logged in to this location.  

Inactive: If you are no longer using this site of service and provider ID, you can mark this record as inactive. We would recommend using this inactive button in place of the delete icon in all cases other than when the site has been created in error.  

Select OK once you have entered the appropriate fields. 

Once you have entered your Practice Sites these will then become available within your billing window. These will not show until you have added an item to the invoice.
