Searching For Practitioners

Searching for practitioners

Written by Eric Hwang

Practitioner Search lets you find providers in Baton Health by name or NPI, then view their license details and add them to a roster.

Getting to practitioner search

Navigate to the Search page, which defaults to Practitioner Search. If you see License Search selected instead, click the Practitioner Search tab in the top-right corner of the page header.

Performing a search

Enter either an NPI or a name (first name, last name, or both), then click Search or press Enter

  • NPI — the practitioner’s 10-digit National Provider Identifier

  • First Name — partial names are accepted

  • Last Name — partial names are accepted

To clear all fields and start over, click Clear.

Filtering results

After running a name search, click the Filters button (funnel icon) to open the advanced filter panel. Available filters:

  • Practitioner types: filter by one or more provider types

  • Practitioner specialties: filter by one or more specialties. When a specialty is selected, a checkbox appears to Include practitioners with unknown specialties. Enable this to avoid excluding practitioners whose specialty data we don’t yet have.

  • States licensed: filter to practitioners licensed in specific states

  • Roster status: by default, practitioners already on your roster are included. Uncheck Include practitioners on your roster to hide them and see all practitioners.

Click Apply to apply the selected filters to the search results, or Reset filters to clear them all.

Viewing practitioner details

Click any row to open the Details panel on the right side of the screen. The panel shows license information for that practitioner, including license number, issue and expiration dates, primary source name, and any board action history.

Close the panel by clicking the × or clicking outside it.

Adding a practitioner to a roster

From the results table, find the Roster Status column for the practitioner you want to add. Click the dropdown to select a roster, then confirm. You'll see a success notification when the practitioner has been added.

If the practitioner is already on a roster, the column shows which roster(s) they belong to.
