We’re trying to input California’s Medicare company (Noridian) and the setup screen is asking for a CMS ID. I cannot find any reference to such an ID anywhere on the web for any insurance company. Can someone tell me what this means?
Thanks

It’s the Payor ID number that the clearinghouse uses. All clearinghouse have a webpage devoted to it.
