NPI Errors with Humana claims

Effective 07/23/08, Humana turned on an edit requiring NPI only in all provider fields/loops. This edit included rejecting the existence of any legacy id including tax ID and SSN in any provider fields/loops other than the Billing or the PayTo Provider.

This caused an increased volume in rejects at the payer. Humana removed this edit the night of 07/28/08 and reverted back to the requirements of 07/22/08, where Humana requires NPI in all provider fields/loops.

Per Humana’s requirements please make sure that NPI is included in all provider fields/loops.
