Tax ID Setup

Version 14.19

About

As business structures, credentialing processes, and payer mixes vary among pediatric offices, so do needs for which Tax ID number should be sent on claims. The following article outlines set-up steps to ensure that each claim your practice submits contains the correct Tax ID. For each claim, the OP software includes the first Tax ID found while following this order:

  1. OP will look first for the Tax ID in the Insurance Payer Provider Details > Line 25 (Tax ID) field.
  2. OP will look second to the Locations tab > Tax ID (Corporate) field.
  3. If both of the above fields are blank, OP will look to Staff/Provider Directory > Provider Info tab > Federal Tax ID field.

For a visual representation of this order, see the table below:
