This section covers the part of the doctor setup process required to use the VSP interface. You may have completed some of the steps while setting up employees in AcuityLogic Admin. See Setting Up Employees.

To submit claims through the VSP interface, you need to map each doctor and his or her provider number to all of the locations where he or she practices.

If all providers at a location submit VSP claims with the same provider number, then map the location to a provider number, and do not map any providers to that location.
