Add or update your healthcare locations
Healthcare locations may be added against a participating organisation, subsidiary organisation, or Healthcare Identifier Organisation (HI Organisation). It is preferred that you link your locations to your HI Organisations, if available, so that your business partners can easily match your HPI-O numbers with your healthcare services.
Locations are the places where your organisation provides its healthcare services. Locations can be a physical address, or they can be mobile or virtual. You should name your locations with what it is commonly known as, such as Smith Street Medical Practice.
Refer to the steps below, or watch the video to see how this can be done.
