Physicians will go into the Panel Registry in the PAS and identify the number of new patients you can accept in each month, if any, and the total number of patients you want on your panel; these fields are called “Monthly Capacity Rate” and “Desired Panel Size” in the PAS. When you submit your panel through MSP Teleplan or Dr.Bill, the panel registry will be populated with this information. Providers who submitted their panels before late August will see them in the Panel Registry.
How to access the PAS Panel Registry
Step 1: Access the Provincial Attachment System (Access the PAS support video)
- Download the BC Services Card App on your mobile device and verify your identity if you haven’t already. This is used to access multiple services with the government of BC.
- Create your OneHealthID on your desktop following the system prompts. This is a one time setup, reusable across multiple systems and reduces the amount of accounts needed to access services.
- Complete the Multifactor Authentication process with your desktop and mobile device. This adds an additional layer of security when logging in.
- Login to the PAS using your OneHealthID credentials.
Step 2: Update your panel preferences
For Physicians and Nurse Practitioners:
- Using the Clinic & Provider Registry, ensure you are added to all relevant clinics. If you don’t see your clinic on the home page, contact your Director to get them to add you.
- Update your Panel Preferences, whether or not you are accepting new patients, and the number of requests you are willing to receive.
- Update your Profile.
- Share Panel Preferences and Panel Management with another member of your clinic, like an MOA, if applicable.
For Medical Directors:
- Using the Clinic & Provider Registry, add yourself as a director to the relevant clinics. Don’t see your clinic listed? Contact PAS Support through Zoom. You can delegate this to your medical office assistant or another team member. To do this, you will need to submit an endorsement.
- Confirm that all clinic details are correct such as address, phone number, and fax number.
- Add all clinicians and staff members who should have access to the PAS for your clinic.
- If applicable, assign director level permissions to another member(s) of your team. You can enable that access through the member’s profile using the Manage Facility checkbox.
- Update Panel Preferences by Going to My Panel, then identify if you are accepting new patients, as well as the number of requests you are willing to accept. This is only required if you are practicing within your clinic.
