## Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, for HIPAA compliance and security, a one-time office setup is required. After the initial setup, you simply log in for future referrals.

Do I need separate logins for different NHOMS locations?

Each distinct office location may have a separate portal entry point to ensure records are routed to the exact surgical team treating your patient. Please select the correct office when beginning your referral.
