Consult Setup
PBHS Support can create a separate user in your account, which only has access to the Consult Mode section of your MySecurePractice Account.
Simply provide a new email address not being used in mysecurepractice to PBHS Support (support@pbhs.com or 888-840-0739). Our support team will setup the user requested with Consult Mode Access Only!
PBHS can also modify an existing email user already registered in your account (note: this will remove all other admin access from this user), or you can provide a new email address to create the Consult Mode user as stated above.
