To ensure your provider data and your patients’ data are as secure as possible, we’ve implemented additional security for prism accounts by creating a prism Security Administrator (pSA) role. Practices and facilities will review and approve or deny all affiliation requests for their group, which gives access to the group’s data like claims, authorizations and reporting. This security feature also gives Security Admins visibility to everyone who has access today.
Prism users will only be able to affiliate to groups or facilities that have a pSA. If the group doesn’t have a pSA, users will not be able to access the group’s data until the group assigns a pSA.
Determining and assigning a pSA at your provider group or facility
We rely on each practice or facility to assign a pSA through prism. We recommend groups who have more than 10 user affiliations have additional pSAs and that your Security Admin(s) are:
- A prism user already affiliated in prism with the practice group or facility
- A practice manager, compliance director or administrator for the provider group or organization
To become your group's pSA, submit a request through prism under General Requests, then prism Security Admin (pSA) Assignment.

How users add a group or facility affiliation in prism
New prism users won’t get automatic access to provider groups or facilities. Now, users will be notified that a request was submitted to the group’s pSA for approval.
Requesting a group/facility affiliation during prism registration
- Register for a prism account.
- Enter a valid provider group Tax ID and NPI combination and submit.
- You’ll either receive an email if your account is approved, or being reviewed. If approved, you'll be prompted to complete registration. If you're account is in review, we’ll let you know when your account has been approved so you can complete registration.
- Your group/facility affiliation request will be sent to the Security Admin for that group. You’ll receive a separate email once the pSA has approved your request for access.
If you’re a pSA for your provider group or facility
The pSA is responsible for approving or denying any prism user requesting an affiliation to their group. Approving the affiliation gives the user access to the group’s data, like claims, authorizations and reporting.
