Keith,
1) The best way is to look at the SBR09 value (MB = Medicare
B). Supposedly the Plan ID will encode this in some way when it is implimented
in the distant future, which is why it will become Not Used at that
time.
2) Does Medicare have a unique Plan ID -- NO. It has a
constellation of numbers, all of which are associated with provider IDs of
various types (REF segments with the appropriate modifier).
UPIN
inidvidual PIN , Medicare B (billing
number)
group PIN, Medicare B (billing
number)
Tax ID
Some that apply to 837I rathe than 837P:
individual PIN, Medicare A
group PIN, Medicare A
If you know enough about the layout of numbers issued for each
use, some of these may be distinguishable, but the basic syntax (6
alphanumerics, or 9-10 alphanumerics for Railroad Retirement)
doesn't.
The opinions expressed here are my own and not necessarily the opinion of
LCMH.
