Adding Clients

Before assigning services or running billing, make sure all your clients are properly added into the Giv system.

📌 Reminder:
Before adding clients, make sure your payers and billing codes are already set up under Payer Management and Code Management.


Option 1: add a single client

  1. Go to the Clients section in the left-hand toolbar

  2. Click Create Client

  3. Fill in the required fields:

    • First Name

    • Last Name

    • PID (Payer ID)

      You can also use a Medicaid ID if the state allows—there’s a separate field for it

  4. Click Save

This is ideal for small agencies or when adding one or two new individuals.


Option 2: upload clients in bulk (CSV)

  1. Go to the Clients section

  2. Click Upload Clients

  3. Download the CSV Template

  4. Fill out the CSV file with the following required columns:

    • First Name

    • Last Name

    • PID (each must be unique—no duplicates!)

Tools like Google Sheets, Excel, or Numbers work fine—just make sure to export/save as .csv format.

  1. Click Choose File

  2. Select your filled-out CSV and click Upload

Once successful, all clients will appear in the client list with their names and PIDs.


Example

If you uploaded a CSV with:

  • Jalen Hurts

  • Jordan Mailata

  • Brandon Graham

You’ll see them listed under Clients once the upload completes.
