I stand a bit corrected. According to the NUBC Manual for FL 51: This is "The number used by the health plan to identify itself." "Report the HIPAA National Plan Identifier when it becomes mandated; Otherwise report the (legacy/proprietary) number (i.e. whatever number used has been defined between trading partners" Line A is required on the UB04. B and C are Situational.

I am being told by Blue Cross and others that the Legacy number must go in this field or the claim will not be processed. The response from Meditech was that they had never heard of this? I had also heard it on the Medicare conference call.
