Thanks very much, Rich. That was extremely helpful. I see that the 837I doesn't use the Insurance Type Code in 2000B/SBR05, so I think I will try sending my MSP's without this info. Do you happen to have MSP claims generating from Meditech? Meditech seems to think we are the first ones attempting this, but I can't imagine that being the case. Thanks again for your help! Angie

We have both called Empire Medicare and we were both told that they are also required on electronic claims. Unfortunately- they can't tell us where. I am able to find this chart below that shows the relationship of the Payer ID codes to Value Codes, but we have been told we need to show the letter code somewhere in addition to the Value Code and primary payer amount. Maybe we are being misled by the people at provider services?

SVD segments typically have Payer ID Codes in them -- (i.e. 2330B - Other Payer or 2430 Line Adjudication Information) an most of those require Medicare to be identified as two digits. Who is giving you this information?

Can someone please clue me in? Thanks!
