Steps
- Open 'Registry Settings' form.

- Enter search value 'Enable Submitter Identification' and click 'View Registry Settings' button.
- Ensure Registry Setting is returned (under 'Avatar PM -> Billing -> Electronic Billing -> All 837 Submissions- > Enable Submitter Identification Definition' path).
- Ensure 'Registry Setting Details' field contains the following explanation text:
"Enabling this functionality gives an end-user the ability to optionally specify identification information based on guarantor, program, service code, and client combination for a specific date range. This is accomplished by adding the 'Submitter Identification Definition' form under 'Avatar PM->System Maintenance->System Definition'. In addition, the following 837 logic is enabled:
When generating a version 4010 837 bill, a check will be made to see if a value of 'ZZZ' is in 'Billing Provider Secondary Identification Code Qualifier 1 (2010AA-REF-01)', or 'Billing Provider Secondary Identification Code Qualifier 2 (2010AA-REF-01)' or 'Billing Provider Secondary Identification Code Qualifier 3 (2010AA-REF-01)' in the 'Guarantor/Program Billing Defaults' form. For version 5010, the system will check the 'Billing Provider Secondary Identification Code Qualifier (2010BB-REF)' field.
If '1' is selected, the 'Submitter Primary Identification Qualifier (1000A-NM1-08)' and 'Submitter Primary Identification Number (1000A-NM1-09)' will be populated with the values specified in the 'Submitter Identification Code Qualifier' and 'Submitter Identification Number' fields of the above form respectively. This functionality is available in both version 4010 and 5010.
If '2' is selected, for version 4010 the 'Billing Provider Secondary Identification Code Qualifier (2010AA-REF-01)' and 'Billing Provider Secondary Identification # (2010AA-REF-02)' will be populated with the values specified in the 'Billing Provider Secondary Identification Code Qualifier' and 'Submitter Identification Number' fields specified for any iteration that contains the 'ZZZ' dictionary code. For version 5010, the 'Billing Provider Secondary Identification Code Qualifier (2010BB-REF-01)' and 'Billing Provider Secondary Identification # (2010BB-REF-02)' will be populated with the same values specified for any iteration that contains the 'ZZZ' dictionary code.
If '3' is selected the ability to optionally specify identification information based on authorization number is added and if "ZZZ" is selected in the following 'Guarantor/Program Billing Defaults' fields on the left then the appropriate 837 fields will be populated with the 'Submitter Identification Definition' fields on the right:
'Billing Provider Primary Identification Code Qualifier (2010AA-NM1-08)' -- 'Billing Provider Primary Identification Code Qualifier (2010AA-NM1-08)' and 'Billing Provider Primary Identification # (2010AA-NM1-09)' Note: The 'Submitter Identification Definition' 'Billing Provider Secondary Identification Number (2010BB-REF-02)' field will override the 'Submitter Identification Number' field that is used if "2" is selected.
