Sharing Data Centre Number is convenient for therapists who
- use the same computer, or
- treat the same patients, or
- want to see cumulative statistics, or
- want to submit cumulative claims.
Note, that cumulative claims consist of individual invoices and do not prevent therapists from receiving individual reimbursement. Sharing Data Centre Number just saves your valuable time that otherwise would have been spent on entering identical information on the same clients into several separately installed version of the program.
Practitioners with shared Data Centre Number are still assigned individual Teleplan User Names and Passwords.
If several therapists want to share the same Data Centre Number, they should wait until one of them receives it first. After the number is obtained, it should be indicated on the application forms of others therapists. For more info, see How to fill out an Application for Teleplan Service Form.
If you share DCN with other therapists, you must use the same software because WCB expect consequent sequence of invoice number from your group.
