How to Set Up Practice Locations

Sensei Cloud comes with a pre-configured location. For your initial setup, you must modify the location with your practice and location details. Location information is used to identify where services are performed and to populate fields when printing claim forms.

To set up the location:

1. On the Administration tab, click Locations > Practice Locations (US) or Locations > Locations (UK). Existing locations for the practice are listed on the left side. 
2. Click Create New Location or select a location and click Edit Selected Location. The entry fields become active.
3. In the Location section:
   - Enter an Internal Name. This can be the same as the Business Name for a single location practice, or a descriptive name that identifies a specific location in a multi-location practice; for example, East Main Street.
   - Enter the official Business Name that is tied to the the Tax ID Number (TIN). This name is automatically printed on the ADA Claim form (Box 48) along with the Billing & Mailing Address.
   - Select the appropriate Time Zone.
4. Enter the Physical Address for the location.
5. For the Billing & Mailing Address, select Same as Physical Address or enter the official billing and mailing address. The information in these boxes is automatically printed on the ADA Claim form (Box 48) along with the official Business Name.

   - Use the Display Sender field to specify the name displayed in the From: field on outgoing correspondence, i.e., business, provider, or contact name. If left blank, From: fields will display the Practice Email address.
7. Use the Social section to enter any social media pages or accounts for your practice.
8. In the Business section:
   - Select the Tooth Numbering Preference for this office. Note: If this value is changed, only new records will reflect the new numbering system; old records remain unchanged.

   - Enter the NPI Number that is assigned to the practice. This is automatically printed in Box 49 of the ADA Claim form. Note: In the event that a single practitioner owns the business and only has an individual NPI number assigned to them, their individual number can be entered instead.
   - In the Taxonomy Code field*, select the specialty associated with this location or its NPI Number.
   - Enter the local, state, or federal Business License Number associated with this practice/location. This is automatically printed in Box 50 of the ADA Claim form.

     - Select the Clinical Homepage to open by default when you jump to the clinical context for a patient in the absence of an appointment.
