Organizations

Organizations are added to N-FOCUS to facilitate placements, provider authorizations, and provider payments.

Easy Identification: When the correct organization name and SSN or EIN is used in the Organization file, it is easier to identify the correct provider organization when doing a search and completing a service approval or authorization.

IRS Notification: The Internal Revenue Service requires information about any payments made to the "owner" of an organization that receives payments from DHHS for services provided. It is important that the organization name and SSN or EIN that DHHS is using match the organization name and SSN or EIN that is on record with the IRS.

Adding Organizations

Resource Development Workers or Social Service Workers with designated responsibility for RD activity in their service area add organizations to the organization file.

To open the organization file, select the Organization icon from the N-FOCUS Main Menu. The Search Organization window displays.
