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.
The tax ID appears in the following locations for paper claims:
- Box 25 on a 1500 paper claim
- FL5 on a UB paper claim
- Box 51 on an ADA paper claim
The tax ID appears in the following locations for electronic claims:
- 2010AA REF*EI segment in the 837P
- 2010AA REF*EI segment in the 837I
- 2010AA REF*EI segment in the 837D
