Group, I have a question relating to the Billing Provider Secondary Identification data element on the 837 Institutional transaction:
Within the notes section (page 82 of 837 - Institutional Implementation Guide) there is a statement that reads: "[the billing provider secondary identification] is required when a secondary identification number is necessary to identify the entity." My question is this: Who makes that determination? What dictates that a secondary identification number must be sent? Any insight is appreciated. Thanks, Paul __________________________ Paul V.
