Add Facility IDs to Locations

You can define claim type-specific or payer-specific facility IDs for a location at either the system or practice level. Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicaid, and Medicare use the claim type facility IDs. Some payers of the same claim type (as specified in the Payer master file) might assign a different facility ID to a location. You can create payer-specific facility IDs for a location.

The hierarchy of which facility ID to apply to a location is defined as follows:

For facility IDs in this location...This facility ID is used...

Payer Specific subtab onlyPayer Specific
