NPI one-to-one match Anthem must be able to make a one-to-one match between the billing provider s national provider identifier (NPI) and service location address identified on the provider s IHCP (Indiana Health Coverage Programs) profile. A one-to-one match can be easily established for providers with only one enrolled service location by looking only at the billing provider s NPI. For providers with more than one enrolled service location, additional data points are required to make the match: o Taxonomy code o ZIP code +4 3
NPI one-to-one match (cont.) Our system utilizes the following algorithm to establish a one-to-one NPI/service location match: o Billing provider NPI only o Billing provider NPI and taxonomy code o Billing provider NPI, taxonomy code and service location ZIP code +4 Coming soon: Billing provider NPI and service location ZIP code +4, in cases where a taxonomy code is not included on the claim. At whichever step the match is established, the algorithm stops and the claim finishes processing. 4
Billing provider NPI Enter the billing provider s NPI required. UB-04: Field 56 CMS-1500: Field 33a 5
Billing provider taxonomy code Enter the billing provider s taxonomy code and qualifier. Required. UB-04: 81CCa use B3 qualifier. CMS-1500: Field 33b use ZZ or PXC qualifier. 6
Billing provider ZIP code +4 Enter the billing provider s physical service location address and full nine-digit ZIP (ZIP +4). Required. UB-04: Field 1 CMS-1500: Field 33 7
Billing provider considerations All information on the claim MUST match the IHCP provider enrollment file. o Update IHCP file if using new/different taxonomy codes. A P.O. Box or lockbox address is NOT a service location address. You MUST include the service location address. o Medicaid does not read field 32 of the claim form. o Medicaid does not use the address in field 33 to determine where to remit payment. Remit identified by the Pay To address entered on the provider s application only, not the claim. 8
Billing provider considerations (cont.) If you use a clearinghouse, make sure your billing software is sending the data fields to your clearinghouse, that your clearinghouse is accepting these data elements, and, most importantly, that your clearinghouse is sending these data elements to the plan, Anthem. o We have identified cases in which a clearinghouse is not sending the required elements, causing denials. 9
Rendering provider NPI Enter the rendering provider s NPI. Required, if applicable. CMS-1500: field 24J (bottom) UB-04: There is no field for a rendering provider on the UB-04 claim form. 10
Rendering provider taxonomy code Enter the rendering provider s taxonomy code. Required, if applicable (temporary). CMS-1500: field 24I (top) Enter ZZ or PXC qualifier. CMS-1500: field 24J (top) Enter taxonomy code. UB-04: There is no field for a rendering taxonomy code on the UB-04 claim form. 11
Rendering provider considerations Not all provider types have associated rendering providers (R). o Medical groups (G): yes Multiple doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, etc., reassign their payments to the group s tax ID o Facility/entity (B): no The entity itself provides the service, and there are no other providers that reassign their payments or share the entity s tax ID Durable/home medical equipment (DME/HME) Ambulance Hospital, billing for certain supplies on a CMS-1500 Hearing aid dealer Solo practice physician/provider 12
Rendering provider considerations (cont.) Facilities/entities (billing providers): o Field 24I and 24J BLANK You do not have rendering providers. Groups: o Rendering information in 24I/24J (top/bottom) must match what is listed in the provider s IHCP profile. o Update Anthem is updating the system to remove the requirement for rendering provider taxonomy codes in 24I/24J (top). Should be complete sometime during Q1 2018. 13
Attending, operating, OPR providers UB-04 claims require the NPI of the attending provider, operating provider and OPR when these are applicable to the case. o The NPI will be validated to ensure the provider is IHCP-enrolled. o Taxonomy codes are no longer required for these providers. o If included, the taxonomy code will not be validated against the provider s enrollment profile. 14
Claim sweeps Anthem has conducted several claim sweeps to reprocess NPI-related denials including: o Attending, operating, OPR not attested/enrolled o Billing provider not attested/enrolled o Rendering provider not attested/enrolled Rework continues Outreach/education 15
