      • Important Tip: Use your organization's EIN (TAX ID) for the most accurate and efficient way to correctly register for access to TCT. Confirm this number with your AA Data Manager or the TCT Help Desk before registering for access. For Pharmacy users, this is a 9-digit number using the THMP Pharmacy ID number.
   5. Complete the Partner User Registration form if the account is with a partner organization.
      • Required fields are marked with a red asterisk *
   6. Once completed, click on the "Submit Request" button located on the bottom of the form.
