# Add New Provider

> Learn how to add a new provider in Elation Billing

This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to add a new provider in Elation Billing.

## Overview

### What is Adding a New Provider?

Adding a new provider registers a healthcare provider in Elation Billing so they can be selected as the rendering provider on claims. Providers are added using their individual NPI (National Provider Identifier).

### Why is Adding a New Provider important?

Claims require a rendering provider to be specified. Adding providers to your practice settings ensures they appear in drop-down options when creating or editing claims on superbills.

## Workflow Instructions

### Adding a New Provider

1. **Navigate** - Select the **Practice Settings** option from the **Settings** drop-down menu, then select the **Providers** tab.
