We are a multi-service facility organization with a central billing office. The billing office bills and receives payment for all facilities. In the 837I 2000 loop, the billing address/contact information and pay-to address information will be for the central billing office. Would we be forced to provide the service facility information in loop 2310E? Or, could we provide the service facility name in the pay-to provider loop (2010AB) but with the billing office address? By not including the actual address of the service facility would we be in violation of HIPAA and/or the IG? What about if the facility is in a different county with different Medicare rates, would not having the address be a problem? Any guidance would be helpful.
