Background
Clinics participating in Provincial Attachment System (PAS) Panel Registry must ensure POS and MSP Facility Numbers are correctly configured in Profile EMR.
Adding a Facility ID to an existing POS is a Standard Order. Refer to the applicable Standard Order article for step-by-step instructions: SO035 POS Facility ID. Facility Number and Facility ID are interchangeable terms.
How to Apply for a Facility Number
Clinic medical leadership must apply directly through Health Insurance BC (HIBC). Confirm below steps are still accurate with HIBC. Approval timelines are managed by HIBC.
Steps:
- Complete HLTH 2948 – Application for MSP Facility Number (New): https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/health/forms/2948fil.pdf
- Email the completed form to provider.program@hibc.gov.bc.ca
How to Cancel a Facility Number
If a clinic closes or no longer requires panel registry, clinic medical leadership must apply directly through HIBC to cancel their facility number.
Steps:
- Complete HLTH 2949 – Application to Cancel for Facilities with an MSP Facility Number: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/health/forms/2949fil.pdf
- Indicate the effective cancellation date
- Email the completed form to provider.program@hibc.gov.bc.ca
Notes
- POS configuration changes should only occur after confirmation from HIBC
