Tax ID Number for Billing Group

The Tax ID Number field in the group details section enables you to enter multiple tax IDs for a location and default or non-default payer of a billing group. You can use the unique effective date and expiration date range to indicate which tax ID must be used for billing. If you enter the tax ID at the payer level, then the Master File Group report displays the payer-level tax ID in the Tax ID # column. If you do not enter the tax ID at the payer level, then the Master File Group report displays the header-level tax ID.

When you bill an encounter and create a paper or electronic claim, the application pulls the tax ID from the group details section and displays as applicable in the paper or electronic claim.
