CV ASC Registry Education-Health Insurance and MBI

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The registry defers to how your facility identifies insurance plans. Check with billing department and select all sources in Sequence 310, Payment Source. Medicare now uses Medicare Beneficiary Identifiers (MBIs) instead of Social Security number-based health insurance claim numbers. MBIs are 11 characters with numbers and uppercase letters only. If lowercase letters are used, they will convert to uppercase in our system. For Medicare transactions like billing and claim status, contact Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) directly for more information on policies and practices.
