Description | The claims processing systems for 71420 and 79413D often use the same claim numbers for different types of claims (facility vs professional). So for example the same claim number is used for a physician claim and also for a facility claim. The way to differentiate the claims is to add in type of claim (MC094). That will make the claims unique. |
