Bills from providers listed on the Other Providers page, like those from providers on the Medical Providers page, are automatically listed on the Special Damages page; however, in other ways, Other Providers provide a different functionality than Medical Providers. For this reason, if you need the records from a provider for the case, if the provider might reasonably serve as an expert, or if you need to detail the individual visits to the provider, you should use the Medical Providers page instead; otherwise, the Other Providers page may be simpler and easier to use.
