Usually, field ‘Name’ consists of three text fields: first name, middle name initial, and last name. Fields ‘First Name’ and ‘Last Name’ are mandatory. ‘Middle Name Initial’ is optional.
If you need to enter several first names, you can do it in the ‘First name’ field. ‘Middle Name Initial’ field accepts only the first character of a middle name.
In some reports, journal for example, names for existing patients and practitioners are displayed in one text field. In this case, last name is shown first and separated from the first names by a coma.
Remember that, therapists’ names must be spelled as you want them to appear on your claims and bills and patients’ names must be spelled according to the spelling on their BC CareCards.
