Step 3: Location & Staff Billing Info

You’re almost ready to start billing! For paper (CMS-1500) and electronic (EDI Files) claim submissions, you’ll need to add some identifying information for your business, locations, and staff members.

There are two areas in Jane where you’ll need to add some claim-related information:

  1. Location(s).
    • Settings > Locations
  2. Staff Profile(s).
    • Staff Profile > Billing

Setting Up Claim Information in Location(s)

This information can be entered by heading into Settings > Locations > Edit Location.

The following information is required for all claim submissions. Note: If you have multiple Locations, you’ll need to add this information to each:

  • Location Name & Address (Box 32 on the CMS-1500)
  • Location Billing Name & Address (Box 33** on the CMS-1500)
  • Location/Service Facility NPI (Box 32a and Box 33a** on the CMS-1500)
  • Place of Service Code (Box 24B on the CMS-1500)
  • Billing Provider Taxonomy Code (Box 33b** on the CMS-1500)
  • Tax ID Number and type (Box 25** on the CMS-1500)

** These boxes can be determined by the information in a Staff Member’s Billing settings instead of the location if needed. See the Overriding Location Claim Info With Staff Billing Settings section below for more details.

If you bill/provide superbills for some of your Treatments/Sessions under different POS codes, you can set a default POS code in your Location Settings for your most commonly billed code, and set specific codes in the Treatment/Session Settings for appointment types that need it. A super common version of this these days (especially for our friends working in Mental Health!) is offering both in-person and Telehealth services.

Setting a Place of Service Code

Setting Up Claim Information in Staff Profile(s)

For the default information that you would like to populate to your claims that is specific to you. This might be things like your NPI, a custom tax ID number (if different from what you have in Locations), etc. — this information can be entered under the Billing section of your staff profile.

The following information is required for claim submissions. It should be entered into the Default Claim Information section for each Staff Member who bills insurance.

  • Rendering Provider Identifier - this would usually be your own NPI (Box 24j), as the provider that rendered this service. You can also add an alternate identifier, such as a license number (Box 24i) if your insurer calls for this.

Overriding Location Claim Info With Staff Billing Settings

If one or more Staff at your practice needs a little more flexibility with the information that’s sent on their claim submissions, then they can adjust their Default and Insurance Specific Claim Information.

For example, if a Staff Member is submitting claims as an individual provider, and would like to submit their own info instead of the location/business info in Box 33 and Box 33a on the CMS-1500, then they can set up Default Claim Info (if they need their claims set up like this for all or most insurers), or they can set up an Insurance Specific Claim Information form for a particular insurer (if only one insurance company requires this custom info).

Default Claim Information

In addition to the required and optional fields outlined in the ‘Setting Up Claim Information in Staff Profile(s)’ section, Jane gives each Staff Member the flexibility to add some custom claim information for fields that are otherwise set with information in the Location of the service.

Specifically, each staff member has the option to:

  1. Use a Custom Billing Provider NPI (Box 33a on the CMS-1500)
    • Used instead of the Location NPI
  2. Set themselves up as the Billing Provider (Box 33 on the CMS-1500)
    • Used in place of the Location Billing Legal Name
  3. Use a Custom Billing Provider Address (Box 33 on the CMS-1500)
    • Used in place of the Billing Location Address
  4. Use a Custom Tax ID number (Box 25 on the CMS-1500)
    • Used in place of the Location Tax ID number

This information can be set up by heading into Staff > Staff Profile > Billing > Default Claim Information

Simply check the box for any areas that require customization, and enter the information as needed.

Insurance Specific Claim Information

Just like Default Claim Information, Jane gives each Staff Member the option to set up custom claim information that will only be used for claims sent to a particular insurance company.

For example, if there is one insurance company that requires that you submit a Taxonomy Code (and all other insurance companies you submit to don’t want your Taxonomy included in the submission), then you can create Insurance Specific Claim Information for that insurer.

This can be done within a staff member’s profile by heading to the Billing tab, and clicking the ‘Add New’ button under the Insurance Specific Claim Information section.

Select the insurance company you’re setting up the form for, and then enter your custom info as needed.

Note that by default, Jane will fill out the Insurance Specific Claim form with the information that’s currently present in your Default Claim Information. If there’s something you’ve included in your Default Claim Information (i.e. Taxonomy Code) that you’d like changed or omitted from the Insurance Specific form, then make sure to edit or remove it before saving.

Nice job – your account is now set up for insurance billing. 👏
