Overview
NOTE: The only addresses you should enter in the Locations Module are those that are recognized by the various payers you send claims to as a billing location or services-rendered location for your agency. If the address needs to be on the claim for you to receive payment, that address must be entered in the Locations Module. Effective set up of a new services-rendered or billing location within Procentive will require you to add and/or adjust information in several different modules.
IMPORTANT: You will need to enter your data in this order.

Step 7: Appointments/Time Modules
Staff must remember to select a location on each service line in the Time Module. This tells Procentive which rendering location, NPI, and taxonomy to put on the claim and is needed for reporting.
- Depending on whether a staff's permissions are restricted to his/her location(s) a staff may not be able to see their service lines if a location is not selected. A staff must have permission in the Time Module to see all locations in order to see service lines that do not have a location selected or the service lines will need to be updated to have a location selected.
- If you would like staff to be able to see all past service lines, please update their permissions to see all location in the Time Module or send a ticket to Procentive stating which location all past DOS should be associated with and up to which date this was the only location.
- Any unbilled service lines will need to have a location associated with them to ensure accurate billing information appears on the claim and reporting continues to pull accurate data based on location.
Step 8: Appointments
- Staff must remember to select a location for each newly added or updated appointment (Appointments Module).
- In order for Report 1300, Appointments Without Service Lines, to report accurately, all appointments and service lines (Time module) must have the same location selected.
- Staff may not be able to see previously created appointments if those appointments do not have a location selected and the staff is limited by permissions to only seeing their own locations in the Appointments Module. A staff must have permission in the Appointments Module to see all locations in order to see appointments that do not have a location selected or the appointments will need to be updated to have a location selected.
NOTE: If a Location is made inactive before all service lines for that location are billed, only staff with this permission in Time > See all locations will see that location in the drop down menu.
