Sheila, We have a Meditech custom in our NMI Interface which restricts messages by Provider and Location. We have providers that work in the ED and in offices and it was important that the ED results not populate the provider office record.
With the Meditech NMI interface we can resend as many times as we need to. I'm assuming your interface is not Meditech. I don't know how you could do what you need to do without location restrictions. I guess you would be stuck with 4 provider mnemonics for the same provider ( I would consider that a nightmare) .
