Two-Factor Authentication is an extra layer of security for your Kalix account. It uses a trusted device (your phone or tablet) to verify your identity when logging into Kalix. This prevents anyone but you from using your login, even if they know your password. 

Kalix gives you the option of setting and using two-factor authentication each time you log into the program.

Please Note: Account directors can make it mandatory for all users to log in to Kalix using Two-Factor Authentication via Account Settings (please see below for details).
   

Notifications is the second page under My Details. Use Notifications to control how often you receive system notification emails from Kalix. Learn More
    

Next, it is a good idea to enter your practice's details under the Account Settings (Directors and Administrative users only).
   

The first section of the page is the general section. It contains information including practice or organization name, country, timezone, currency and profession. These details were set-up when you first created your trial account. 

Click on the expand icon at the end or any row to edit.
   

Two-Factor Authentication is a security setting for your account. It uses secondary devices to verify your users' identity each time they log into Kalix. This prevents anyone but you and your invited users from accessing your account, even if a third party know someone's username and password. 

From Account Settings, you are able to require all users to set-up and use two-factor authentication each time they log into Kalix. To do this just turn on the switch. 

For US customers, Account settings contains a Legal section. Here is where you can view and sign your Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with Kalix. Learn More
   

Kalix allows you to enter as many practice locations as needed. To create a new location, click on the Add Location button.

Name

The name of the location - it could be the building or office name e.g. Patrick Street Clinic, your practice name or location type e.g. Virtual Appointment.

Other ID (Optional) 

If you have a non-NPI ID number for the particular location, enter it in the Other ID field. Other ID is used for insurance billing purposes (CMS 1500 field 32B). This number is assigned by the payer (insurance company) as a unique identifier for the service facility location.

If entering an Other ID number, please also select a qualifier for the service facility's non-NPI ID number. It is used for insurance billing purposes to identify the type of Non-NPI number used (CMS 1500 field 32B).

Under the last section on the Account Setting page, enter the details you will use for billing and contact purposes. Kalix inputs this information as the billing provider info for insurance billing (CMS 1500 field 33) and as your mailing address in superbills and invoices. If you use multiple NPIs or Tax IDs, enter each as a new mailing and billing address.

Click on the Add Mailing and Billing Address to set-up your details.

Enter the federal tax ID number you use for billing purposes (CMS 1500 field 25). This is your businesses' employer identification number assigned by the IRS, or your social security number. The tax ID type must also be selected in the neighboring field (SSN or EIN).
   

This is the non-NPI ID number of the billing provider, used for insurance billing purposes (CMS 1500 field 33B). 

This number is assigned by a specific payer (insurance company) or by a third party as a unique identifier for you as a provider or for your profession type e.g. Registered Dietitian. 

The specific insurance companies you are billing will most likely let you know whether an other ID number is required. Common options include:
