New SCHA (MMSI) Requirement

We have been informed today by the clearinghouse that beginning with DOS 8/1/17, all claims for South Country Health Alliance sent an NPI number must also include the corresponding taxonomy code on the claims.

This means anywhere on your claim that there is an NPI (billing NPI, provider NPI) the corresponding taxonomy must also be sent.

Unfortunately, this is the first SHCA has notified the clearinghouse of the change and the clearinghouse suspects that there have already been denials for claims with DOS 8/1/17 and

forward.
