Filter Appointment Search Results by PAR Provider Status

Search Appointments Using PAR Filters

Book Appointment with Provider Participation Status

What’s New

• New PAR Plan and Plan Type filters are available in the Search Appointments screen.
• Appointment search results are filtered using the selected:
  – Location
  – Specialty
  – Insurance Plan
  – PAR Plan
  – Plan Type
• Only providers with matching PAR participation are returned in the search results.
• During appointment booking, the patient’s Primary Insurance displays a provider participation indicator:
  – PAR – Participating Provider
  – Non-PAR – Non-Participating Provider
  – UNK – No matching participation configuration found
• If the patient does not have Primary Insurance, no participation indicator is displayed.
• When multiple participation records exist for the same Provider, Plan, Specialty, and Location, the system uses the patient’s selected Plan Type and gives PAR precedence when both PAR and Non-PAR records apply.

How It Works 

• Open Scheduler Multi-View and launch Search Appointments.
• Select the desired Location, Specialty, Insurance Plan, PAR Plan, and Plan Type filters.
• Search for available appointments.
• The system returns only providers whose participation records match the selected search criteria.
• During appointment booking, the patient’s Primary Insurance is evaluated against the configured provider participation records.
• The booking screen displays the appropriate participation status (PAR, Non-PAR, or UNK).
• If multiple matching participation records exist, the system evaluates the patient’s Plan Type and prioritizes PAR records when applicable.

Benefits

• Helps users locate appointments using provider participation criteria.
• Reduces scheduling errors by identifying PAR, Non-PAR, and Unknown participation during booking.
• Improves visibility into provider participation for the patient’s primary insurance.
• Supports more accurate appointment scheduling when multiple provider participation records exist.
