Use This New HHH MAC's Number For DDE
Published on Tue Jan 04, 2011
Don't forget to use your new contractor number for Palmetto GBA, now that it has become the HHH MAC for Jurisdiction 11. Effective Jan. 24, 2011, providers must "enter Contractor ID number 11004 in the 'INTER NO' field to access the Health Insurance Query Access (HIQA) or Health Insurance Query for HHAs (HIQH) screens," Palmetto reminds providers. Home health agencies and hospices served by Palmetto had to start using payer ID number 11001 on their claims last month.
