   • To view the default visit specialties mapped to all the rendering providers at the practice level, use the filter by practice field.

   You can clear the filters by selecting the top blank row on the resulting list.

   The practice, location, and default visit specialty details appear.
8. Select the Practice, Location, and Default Visit Specialty fields to make selections for each field.
