Add a claim specific rule
Claim specific rules are applied when a payer requires certain information to appear in a particular section of the claim form. These rules must be set up individually for each insurance company whenever you need to adjust what is displayed on the CMS-1500 claim form or the institutional claim form. When adding or editing a payer in the Insurance Companies section of Practice Setup, you can create or modify claim-specific rules at the bottom of the screen.
For example, if a payer requires the service facility location (SFL) NPI to be displayed on the claim form, you can create a claim specific rule for that insurance company by selecting “Always display service facility location NPI on the claim form.” This ensures the system automatically inserts the SFL NPI into Box 32a on the CMS-1500 claim form for all claims billed to that payer.
Explanation of rules

This rule can also be filtered by Service Facility Locations if you wish to suppress this information at only one of your locations. Once the rule has been selected, click the green + under the Location/Custom Value column. In the box on the left, select the location that you want the rule to be applied to and click the arrow at the top to move it into the Selected List on the right. Then, click Select to save.
