A facility is a local VA site that is associated with a provider group when the group is created in the CV system. A provider group is a grouping of one or more community providers, such as a family practice, that can be associated with one or more VA facilities. Before VA Staff can assign a patient to a CCP, the CCP must be assigned to a provider group within the CV system.
In this release, creating a provider group is performed only by CV Portal Administrators. See Creating Community Care Provider Groups for more information. To edit a provider group, VA Staff access the same page as seen below except the Create New Provider Group button is not available.
