Pam: Meditech is wrong, or your Consultant isn't aware, because I have notified Meditech of this issue in the past and have created a Task for it, because my interpretation of the NUBC specs is that (1) FL 51 is required, and (2) the payer's legacy number must be there if there is no Health Plan ID. Unfortunately, in Massachusetts, most if not all of our payers have indicated that they want the legacy number in FL 57. So, as usual, there appears to be no standardization. I am waiting for just 1 payer to reject a claim, or publish a UB04 guideline that states they want the legacy number in FL 51, so that I have some justification and documentation for asking Meditech to make a change. Then Meditech will have to give you the ability to put the legacy number in that field.

Ring Strategic Resource Group, Inc. 11 Jones Road, Peabody, MA 01960 978-807-1573 -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Caskey, Pam" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Is anyone else having issues on the UB04 and field 51 HEALTH PLAN ID? 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. Pamela Caskey Business Office Applications Specialist St. James Mercy Hospital 411 Canisteo St. Hornell, NY 14843 607-324-8048
