Attach a Formulary to a Payer

You can search for formularies by Plan ID or organization name and attach a formulary to a payer. You cannot hide formularies, but once they are attached to a payer they are considered "in use". A formulary can also be considered "in use" even if it is not attached to a payer. The "in use" formularies display as list items that NextGen® Enterprise EHR users can select from, for example, in the Medication Module. Because the list of formularies is long, you may not want to use all of them, such as state-specific ones. If you make certain formularies in use, the list that users can choose from becomes shorter because it excludes non-relevant formularies. Select the Payer Defaults - 2 tab. In the Formulary Provider field, select . The Formulary Provider Search window appears. To search for a formulary provider, follow the steps below: In the Search Method section, select one of the following search methods: Code or Description.
