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.
