Apply for your payee numbers
Every direct-billing network pays out to a specific provider or payee number, issued to you or your clinic, not just your professional licence. Here's how to get each one.
Canada-wide
Applies everywhere, regardless of which province or territory a patient or practitioner is in.
Getting your provider/payee number
Every direct-billing network pays out to a specific provider/payee number, not just a licence. MSP's is covered under British Columbia below; ICBC, WorkSafeBC-style boards, and each private insurer each have their own provider-registration step, noted alongside their entry in Direct Billing.

Once registered, a practitioner files one of these depending on how they bill: HLTH 2820 ("opted in") if billing Teleplan directly under their own Data Centre number, or HLTH 2771 ("opted out") if billing through a vendor or clearinghouse instead, such as MyTCM once its own Teleplan vendor status is live.
