I am being instructed by an insurance company to use the group NPI# in Line 24J? Is that even allowed/legal? I’ve never done that before and I always thought it is suppose to be only the rendering physician’s NPI # that goes in box 24J.

Can anyone offer any advice or input on this situation? I believe it may have to do with the insurance company’s fee rates are tied to box 24J. I think our contract may be set up wrong.

Thank you,
Micki
