Payer id

Hi,

I am going to use MD ONLINE as my clearing house and would like to set up OEMR for electronic billing. Where does one enter the payer id number for the plans? Is the CMS ID entry actually the commerical plan’s payer id number?

Thanks in advance.

Talked to MD-Online, they do not need you to enter their payer id, they will do it once you send your claims to them.  But their receiver ID is MDOL857

So are you using MD-Online? I am working towards that end but see that gen_x12_837.inc.php defines the patient HL in loop 2000b as "0" when it should be variable (0 or 1) and may need to work on that.

Let me know if your using them and I will share any advances I make.

I just sent my first test batch and got a whole bunch of errors that I do not understand.  The same file is sent to office ally.  Lets see what happens.  The reason I did this is because I had a successful transmission on another patient with the same setting.  The only difference is that MD-online was blue cross.  I remember reading somewhere in this forum, Blue cross had different criteria.

I can likely explain some/all of the errors if you wish to proceed with MD-Online.
