* Targeted Providers

the

837

Professional

This bulletin is to clarify the NPI billing instructions for the 837 Professional (837P)
transactions.
•

The NPI for the Billing Provider/Pay-To provider is always needed in loop 2010AA.

•

If you have one NPI that is linked to multiple South Carolina Medicaid legacy
numbers the following rules should be followed regarding NPI, taxonomy and zip
code in an 837P transaction:
•

•
•

The Taxonomy for Billing Provider/Pay-To provider is needed in loop 2000A,
unless loop 2310B is utilized. The National Electronic Data Interchange
Transaction Set Implementation Guide 837P (004010X098A1) does not allow
the provider taxonomy in Loop 2000A if the rendering/line provider Loop 2310B
is used.
The 9-digit zip code for the Billing Provider/Pay-To provider is needed in loop
2010AA.
If the service is rendered in a location other than the Billing Provider/Pay To
location, then the 9-digit zip code for the Service Facility Location is needed in
loop 2310D.

•

If the Billing Provider is a non group organization, such as a Rural Health Clinic,
Home Health, FQHC, Lab, Mental Health Clinic, or DME provider, use Loop
2010AA – Billing/Pay NPI and Loop 2000A for taxonomy. Loop 2310B is not
needed. However, if it is used for an organizational provider that is not a
practitioner group, the NPI in Loop 2310B must be the same as the NPI in Loop
2010AA.
•

•

If you have multiple legacies that share the same NPI and you utilize Loop
2310B, the taxonomy should be included in Loop 2310B as opposed to Loop
2000A.
If your Billing Provider is a practitioner group such as a physician group or
podiatry group, etc., the NPI for the rendering practitioner must be included in
Loop 2310B. No taxonomy is needed for individual practitioners in Loop
2310B.

Please refer to the attached chart as a guide when billing NPI in an 837 transaction.
For clarity, the corresponding fields on the CMS-1500 are included. For further
information refer to the S.C. Medicaid Companion Guides, which are found at
If you
http://www.dhhs.state.sc.us/dhhsnew/hipaa/Companion%20Guides.asp.
have any questions, please contact your program representative or the South Carolina
Medicaid EDI Support Center at 1-888-289-0709.

Special Note

Although the line provider is not
needed for providers such as
FQHC, RHC, Home Health, Lab,
DME, Maternal and Child Health
Clinic, if used, the taxonomy is
required.
Taxonomy is not needed for
individual practitioners such as
physicians, nurses, podiatrists
since practitioner NPIs are not
shared by multiple legacy
numbers.
