Improving provider information – what this means for you
We’re reviewing and updating the information we hold about you, as part of our ongoing efforts to improve how we work with healthcare providers.
The work includes reviewing and updating all Provider and Vendor registration information we hold in our systems.
We want to ensure the data we hold about you is accurate, up to date and fit for future interactions with you. By ensuring your information is correct, we aim to make it easier for Providers and their organisations to work with us, reduce administrative effort and support a more efficient and effective experience for all.
Most of this work will take place behind the scenes unless there is specific activity required by you or your organisation.
If action is required by you, our Provider Vendor Registration (PVR) team will be in touch. Some of the activities we may contact you about include:
- Helping organisations transition from using multiple Vendor IDs for invoicing (such as one per practitioner) to a single Vendor ID for their entire organisation.
- Discussing options to use Facility Identifiers (HPI facility numbers start with a F, followed by five digits, F01081, F0F063, which follows the same format as the vendor numbers) where this would help your business reconcile invoices better.
- Confirming and updating any information we already hold for you.
We’re working with other teams across ACC who engage with Providers, to reduce the number of times ACC contacts you for similar activities.
