I’m trying to upload X12 claims to Zirmed. It is failing. In the rendering physician area it is sending code 34 (SSN) and then the physicians NPI not their SSN. For example it sends:
LastName*FirstName****34*1110000000 (this is the physicians NPI)
Instead of what should be:
LastName*FirstName****34*000000000 (should be SSN)

I don’t see why that would be. Is it possible you have the NPI in the user’s SSN field? Are you using recent code from CVS for both freeb and OpenEMR?

Yes it is the most current versions of openemr and freeb.
All of the numbers (SSN,NPI,UPIN) are in the correct fields in openemr.

OK, as it happens I’ll be testing this for a client next week. Will let you know if I encounter the same problem.

Actually I have some important changes to standard.pl/x12.pl not yet checked in, pending more testing. That may be why I’m not seeing your problem. Send me a note if you’d like to try them out yourself. Rod at sunsetsystems dot com.

I have managed to eliminate freeb completely in the case of X12 claims, while also supporting electronic secondaries, NDC data in claims, and fixing the problem of sometimes generating multiple claims per encounter.
Live testing is in progress now. Stay tuned.
