Provider (Employee) Profile Overview

How to Create a Provider Profile

  1. Provider profiles will be created by the PTC Support Team. The PTC Support Team will receive a daily report of new consumer and provider combinations and from these reports, they will be able to create all necessary profiles, funding accounts, and service accounts.
  2. The authorization process is initiated by the Voucher Specialist using the APD 546 to enter the authorization in DHR to create the voucher. Authorization information will be sent in real time from DHR to OR PTC DCI once the voucher is created in DHR. If the authorization fails to go to OR PTC DCI, it goes to a queue for the PTC Support Team to fix those failures. The queue will indicate the consumer and/or provider associated with the authorization are not in OR PTC DCI, which will prompt the PTC Support Team to create all the necessary profiles, funding accounts, and service accounts. Once all those pieces are added, the PTC Support Team will have the ability to resend the authorization to OR PTC DCI.
  3. If more than two full business day have passed since the Voucher Specialist created the voucher in DHR and the provider has not been added to OR PTC DCI, the Local Office can request the profile and associated account information be setup by the PTC Support Team by submitting a request form to Support@odhsoha.oregon.gov. The request form can be found on the PTC website by clicking into the AAA/APD Staff option at the top left: https://www.oregon.gov/dhs/APD/ORPTC/Pages/Staff.aspx From there, scroll to the bottom and click “New User Forms”
  4. See business process 2.1 Add a New Provider for more information.
