Definition of a Provider user License

The definition of a Provider is outlined in Clause 1.iv of the contract.

A Provider is a user role that:

• Can have appointments scheduled for them

• Has the ability to save SOAP notes

• Can conduct video consultations with patients

A Provider is not necessarily a MD, PA or NP, as different practices may obtain Provider licenses for:

• Nurses

• Aestheticians

• Therapists

• Dieticians

• Other non-prescribing medical professionals

If the Practice Account Admin wants to create appointments for these users, they would require a Provider user license. However, EPCS licenses are not required for such users since they do not prescribe controlled substances.

eRx Collaborators & Supervising Physicians

• eRx Collaborators or Supervising Physicians (even though they are MDs) are not considered Providers in DocVilla.

• They are categorized as staff members (included in the 5 staff licenses).

• Since practices do not create appointments for eRx collaborators, they do not need a Provider user license for an eRx collaborator.

• However, eRx collaborators can co-sign notes in DocVilla.
