Add a location for any physical site you bill from. Multiple locations let you scope provider availability and reporting per site.

Departments inside this location

Adult medicine · Behavioral health · Sliding-scale clinic - same NPI, separate routing

Locations carry a billing NPI, place-of-service code, and timezone - every visit inherits them

Establishment → Locations → New. Enter address, NPI (if it differs), POS code, and timezone. Associate the providers who work there. The location card is what every visit, claim, and provider availability slot inherits from.

When to use a department instead

If two suites share an address and NPI, use a department under the same location. Departments are for routing, not billing.
