Can my submitter number have more than one NPI associated to the Tax ID authorized for Change Healthcare Comp Billing?

If we can't find a payer on the master payer list, should we fill out the same new payer connection request form?
No, simply contact our support team so we can contact EDI to see if a connection can be established. Support will need the payer name, payer ID and payer address in order to research with EDI.
What if the bill has been sent to the payer prior to a second attachment being uploaded?
This is considered an orphan attachment. Best practice is to manually send the attachment to the destination payer. Resending the bill with the second attachment could result in a rejection by Change Healthcare or the payer as a duplicate bil.
If an attachment is uploaded after 3:00 PM on the 5th day, best practice is to manually send the attachment to the destination payer.
How often are reports sent to communicate the status of the bill and attachment?
Daily or until the bill and/or attachment are sent to destination payer.
How will the destination payer be identified to allow posting of ERA?
The destination payer ID will be returned in the file. (Loop 2010BB REF01 = 2U; REF02 = destination payor ID).
