Facility – External facilities at which services are rendered are set up as locations, such as nursing homes and hospitals used for consultations. For information about setting up the Locations master file, go to the NextGen Healthcare Success Community and download the latest Orders Module User Guide for NextGen® Enterprise EHR.

Location Information - Practice Tab

The Practice tab on the Location Information window contains practice-specific claims and address information for the Location master file. If you enter information on this tab, it applies only to the practice that you are currently logged into and overrides similar information entered at the system level on the Location Defaults tab. Note: If you have the system level data set up and you also have a record for your practice data, the practice data will be assigned even if it is blank. This is especially important for the Facility Location check box. If the Facility Location check box and the HCFA Box 32 are not selected on the Practice tab and a record exists, then that location will not display on the Encounter Maintenance window for that practice regardless of the setting at the system level.
