3.1.1 Payer ID

A payer ID is required for all insurance companies that are set up for electronic filing. This 5 digit ID tells the clearinghouse where to send the claim.

Office Ally's Clearinghouse is already fully integrated into the ChiroFusion billing system & it's free to file electronic claims to most payers.
Majority of Payer ID codes from Office Ally's database are in the CF system & you can search by number or by name. If you find a payer ID that is on Office Ally’s website, but not in ChiroFusion, you can add it manually. Please see Billing Manual Section 1.8.
When searching codes in ChiroFusion, Insurance Co. Names may vary & a single code can apply to multiple Insurance Company names and entities.

Example:
Payer ID Code: 87726 applies to UnitedHealthCare and many others. It will appear in ChiroFusion as only AARP because we simply attach it to the first alphabetical Insurance Co. name listed in Office Ally.
As long as Payer ID is confirmed in OA Resources page, you do not have to be concerned with the name that appears.
