How do you bill Physician fee-for-service claims when services are rendered outside the FQHC setting?
Physicians who bill fee-for-service, under their own name and NPI and designate the FQHC, RHC, or ERC as their payee, must report their name and NPI as the Rendering Provider in Loop 2310B. The NPI linked to the physician's appropriate 16-digit payee number must be reported as the Billing Provider in Loop 2010AA. The Billing NPI reported in Loop 2010AA must not be linked to the FQHC's, RHC's, or ERC's provider number. Please contact the Provider Participation Unit to initiate any NPI Link to Payee changes at: 217-782-0538.
