Create a Non-VA Provider

This task allows you to enter a new Non-VA provider’s information into the PCMM system.  

  1. If the name for a Non-VA Provider is not found in the system (See Search for a Non-VA Provider section), a Confirm Create Non-VA Provider dialog box will appear. If you wish to create a Non-VA Provider, click Yes to display the Create Non-VA Provider screen. If not, click No to return to the Search for Non-VA Provider screen.
  2. Confirm the selection of the provider Category.
  3. Enter the Non-VA provider’s Name which includes Last, First, Middle name and suffix, if applicable. Last and First Names are required.
  4. Select a Role from the drop-down list (required).
  5. You may select a Specialty from the drop-down list.
  6. Enter a phone number for the Primary Contact (required). You may also enter a Fax or Email address.
  7. You may enter a Practice Name and Address.
  8. You must enter a City name and select a State from the drop-down list (both required).
  9. You may enter comments in the Comments text box.
  10. Click Submit to save the information and display the Non-VA Provider Information screen. The new provider will be listed. Or you may click Cancel to display a dialog box that asks you to confirm your cancelation and warns that no information will be saved. If you confirm your cancelation, you will be returned to the Search for Non-VA Provider screen.

If the Non-VA Provider has an email, you can click the e-mail icon that corresponds to the provider name you want. This will start your e-mail client with the contact’s email address in the To: field.

The Non-VA Provider screen displays the Provider Name, Category, Practice Name, Specialty, Practice City, and Practice State. You can click the link in a Provider Name field to view and/or edit the provider's information through the Modify a Non-VA Provider screen.
