Location ID / Minor ID

The Location ID (also known as a Minor ID) is issued by MedicalDirector. It is bound to your software licence with MedicalDirector , and it also allows Medicare to uniquely identify your Practice Business.

It has the format HSSxxxxx (Pracsoft) or BCPxxxxx (Bluechip).
A Practice conducting business at one location using one patient database is issued one number.
A Practice conducting business at multiple locations, but using one patient database (such as when satellite centres connect remotely to a shared server), is also issued one number.
A Practice conducting business at multiple, independent locations using separate patient databases is issued one number per site.
This number will not change unless a whole new business is being created that requires completely new licensing from MedicalDirector, that is unless a new MedicalDirector account is being created, the Minor ID doesn't change.
If you are in doubt about your Location ID / Minor ID, contact MedicalDirector Customer Care.
