Provider Roster (PV) Section
(Que

Preloaded Grid Type 2 including PV20 - Flexible navigation, allow empty.
If PV20LU is EMPTY for all of the medical providers and interviewer tries to move off of this
page display the message: “YOU MUST SELECT A MEDICAL PROVIDER BEFORE CONTINUING.
PRESS ENTER TO RETURN TO PV20LU.”
If coming from the CA section, after a provider is selected return immediately to the
calendar section.
If provider selected (PV20LU='1' for one provider) and event type is OP or MV and linked to
a facility-provider (either facility provider was selected from NPI or from the roster or PV40
is coded = '2' (FACILITY PROVIDER)), immediately go to PV70.
Otherwise, after a provider is selected (PV20LU='1' for one provider), immediately return to
the Event Roster (EV) section.
Once a provider is added, that provider should be automatically selected. If the interviewer
adds a provider, but then decides to ‘unselect’ it, another provider could be added. CTRL-A
should not work if there is already a provider selected on this screen.
Hard Check:
1. If CTRL-E is pressed for a provider that is linked to a NPI ID or the provider was added
during a previous round, display the following error message: "THIS PROVIDER CAN’T BE
EDITED BECAUSE IT WAS ADDED DURING A PREVIOUS ROUND OR IT IS LINKED TO A NPI
ID.”
2. If CTRL-D is pressed for a provider that was not added at the current question, display
the following error message: “THIS PROVIDER CAN’T BE DELETED. ONLY PROVIDERS
ADDED AT THE CURRENT QUESTION CAN BE DELETED.“
3. If the provider selected is linked to a person-provider and the event type is HS, ER,
OP or IC, display the following error message: “A FACILITY PROVIDER MUST BE
SELECTED FOR THIS EVENT TYPE. SELECT/ADD ANOTHER PROVIDER.”
4. CTRL-A: Only one provider can be selected per this instance of PV. If FI tries to back
up and add another provider, display the following hard check: ‘YOU MUST DESELECT
THE CURRENT PROVIDER TO SELECT A DIFFERENT PROVIDER TO ASSOCIATE WITH THIS
EVENT'. CAPI should go back to PV20LU.
Roster Behavior:
1. Display roster entries in the following order: Display by provider last name or facility
name. Entries that are added during the current round will appear at the bottom of the
list of entries until the next round.
Grid Behavior:
1. The ‘Type of Provider’, ‘Provider’, ‘Address’, ‘City’, ‘State’, ‘Zip Code’, ‘Phone
Number’, and ‘Editable’ are protected columns. No changes are allowed.
2. In the ‘PV20’ column, only one provider can be selected by pressing 1 and enter in
the active field for that provider.
3. In the ‘PV20’ column a provider that is not linked to an NPI ID and was added during
PV - Page 6 of 49

the current round, can be edited by navigating to that providers active field and
pressing CTRL-E.
4. In the ‘PV20’ column a provider that was added at the current question, can be
deleted by navigating to that providers active field and pressing CTRL-D.
5. The provider roster entries are displayed in the form pane. To maximize the number
of rows that we can display in the form pane without vertical scrolling, reduce the size
of the info pane to fit the question text displayed. Thirteen rows display at one time
before scrolling is necessary.
When CTRL-A is selected the provider directory should pop-up. The following fields should
be displayed in the look-up: Name1, Name 2, Address, City, Phone number, Taxonomy.
There should be an option on the look-up for ‘PROVIDER NOT FOUND’. When 'PROVIDER
NOT FOUND' is selected, go to BOX_30 to start the collect of provider information using
PV50_01-PV50_08 or PV60_01-PV60_07. After the completion of these questions, the
provider will be added to the medical provider roster and the interview should route back to
PV20LU. At PV20LU, the provider that was just added from PV50_01-PV50_08 or PV60_01PV60_07 should appear at the bottom of the grid with a '1' prefilled in the PV20 field.
Interviewers must press Enter to confirm their selection.
If the provider selected (either at PV20LU or within the NPI look-up window) is linked to a
person-provider and the event type is HS, ER, OP or IC, display the following error message:
“A FACILITY PROVIDER MUST BE SELECTED FOR THIS EVENT TYPE. SELECT ANOTHER
PROVIDER.” After the FI has viewed the error message they will return to the provider
directory pop-up. The same search string will still be listed in the field.
The following search rules should appear at the bottom of the pop-up: “SEARCH RULES:
⦁ Fewer words often work better than lots of words - but you
must type at least 5 letters
⦁ Unusual or unique aspects of provider name or address finds
better matches
⦁ Common identifiers (e.g., medical center, office, associates,
group, health) can increase the number of ‘extra’ matches
displayed
⦁ If searching by address - include street number and name, but
not office, suite, or room number
⦁ If searching by phone number – do not include hyphens
⦁ Review the DETAILS line at the top to verify correct selection
After the FI picks a provider and presses ‘SELECT’, the provider will appear at the bottom of
the grid with a ‘1’ prefilled in the PV20 field for this provider. FI’s must press ENTER to
confirm their selection.
When CTRL-E is selected for a person-provider that is not linked to a NPI ID and that was
added during the current round, go to PV50_01. PV50_01-PV50_08 will be used to update
the providers information. After PV50_08, update the provider roster entry and return to
PV20LU.
When CTRL-E is selected for a facility-provider that is not linked to a NPI ID and that was
added during the current round, go to PV60_01. PV60_01-PV60_09 will be used to update
the provider's information. After PV60_09, update the provider roster entry and return to
