Maintain Payer Information

Submitters are required to send Other Payer information for Coordination of Benefits (COB) purposes. Payer data may be used when submitting claims on the Other Payer tab. In order to have this information available to the users, the data must be defined in the proper Support File. The IDs for Payers are maintained in support files which are TSN/ETIN specific, thereby allowing all Providers associated with an TSN/ETIN to use the same IDs for the same Payers.

Payer Information consists of an identification number, the Payer Name, and a claim filing indicator. The identification number is a value assigned by the ePACES system to uniquely identify the payer within the system. From the main page, users may review the information of the payers existing in the system, add a new payer to the system, edit the information of a payer existing in the system, or delete an existing payer from the system.
