MessageWhat field are you pulling if you do not have a health plan id? It is my understanding that we can print legacy number but not sure where to pull this from?

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. Gary J.

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
