2. Select Insurers.
3. Click + Add Insurers.
4. Enter the insurer name (‘DVA’) and select DVA as the Type.
5. Tick the Show on Invoice option if you would like your insurer information to appear on your invoices and receipts.
6. Use the Text on Invoice field to record any text that you would like to appear on the invoice with your provider number (ie 'DVA Provider Number:').
7. Click ✔ Save.
