- From your Member Home page, click on “Enter/Edit Profile Information.”
- Fields with “Referral" in their names contain information that is used for your Practitioner listing.
- Your Referral Address-Primary Location is the address the website Directory Search function will use to find you.
- If you have additional locations, you may enter them in the “Second Location” and “Third Location” fields. The website Search function will not search on these additional locations, however the locations will appear on your Practitioner listing, and show up on the BCST/NA RCST Service Locations map.
- Note: The map does not update automatically after you have added a referral location, so you will need to be patient. (The map must be updated manually, and is generally updated every 1 - 3 months.)
Ensure you can be found in the Practitioner Referral Directory and on the RCST Service Locations Map
- Be sure to list a zip code for your Primary Referral location, so that you can be found when a prospective client uses the Directory Search criteria to find the RCST Practitioner(s) located nearest to them.
- When an address or zip code is entered in the search criteria, the search results will list Practitioners according to how far they are located from that address or zip code. (It will also indicate the number of miles away.)
- Note: The website Search function will not search on a Second or Third referral location, however these additional locations will appear on your Practitioner listing, and show up on the BCST/NA RCST Service Locations map.
