There are three way a provider receives credit for an order:
- Encounter - provider associated to the exam: The provider associated to the encounter is the provider on the invoice. This cannot be changed. When the encounter is associated to an order, the encounter provider receives credit for the order. You can un-associate the encounter with the order and update the provider on the invoice.
- Order - provider that created and signed the Rx: The provider that created the Rx is assigned as the provider in the invoice by default. This can be changed on the invoice if the order is not associated to an encounter. You can have a provider create a prescription and a different provider receive credit for the sale.
- Walk-in OTC purchase - default provider assigned in Demographics: Invoices created for a purchase default to the provider assigned in the patient's Demographics component. Note: A guest invoice does not have a default provider since a guest is not a patient.
