  1. Open the System Master Files.
  2. Select Providers.
    The Provider List window displays.

  3. Select a provider from the list, select the Open Menu icon, and then select Open.
    The Modify Provider Information window displays.
  4. On the System tab, select the entry in the Payer Name/Payer Nbr list that you want to delete.

  5. Double-click the highlighted entry or right-click it to bring up the shortcut menu and select Open.
    The Payer Number for Provider window displays.

  6. Highlight the number in the Payer Number field and then select the Delete key on your keyboard.
    The field is now blank.
  7. Select OK.
