Add/Edit Alternate Insurance Addresses

Add/Edit Alternate Insurance Addresses

If an Insurance Company has more than one address, additional addresses can be added. This only affects paper claims because the Payer ID is used for Electronic claims.

  • Example: United Health Care has multiple addresses for sending Paper Claims. However, there may be only one United Health Care Commercial Payer ID for sending electronic claims.
