Please begin this process 2–3 weeks before the locum coverage starts to allow time for account creation and form processing.
*Please note that if the locum is not on a paid subscription with Arya, the clinic is responsible for all billing setup. If you would like help onboarding a locum or want to learn more about Arya's locum policy, click on the button below.
Step 1: Locum creation of Dr. Bill account
If the locum already has an Dr. Bill account, please skip this step and proceed to step 2.
The locum needs to sign up for a Dr. Bill account. By selecting the button below, you can start the sign up process.
For step-by-step guidance on creating your Dr. Bill account, please see our help article here: http://help.aryaehr.com/en/articles/8590193-signing-up-for-dr-bill
Note: Dr. Bill fees for locums are an out-of-pocket expense. If you’d like Arya to cover the cost during the locum period, a $25/month fee will be added to your Arya subscription.
Step 2: Assignment of Payment Form Completion
In the locum's Dr. Bill account, they must complete an Assignment of Payment (AOP) form. This connects their billing to the host physician's payee account.
Important: MSP processing typically takes 7–10 business days, so please complete the AOP form at least 2 weeks before the locum’s start date.
Step 3: Payee Added to Locum's Dr. Bill Profile
The locum should reach out to Dr. Bill to ensure they are connected to the host physician's payee.
Step 4: Integrate your Dr. Bill account with Arya account
The locum's Dr. Bill credentials can be added to their personal Arya account so they can bill through Arya.
