If you haven't already, you should review the Definition of a Business in the MEDI System topic to understand how a business is defined in the MEDI System.
Certain situations may make it necessary for an employer to be registered more than once. Here are some situations where this might occur:
You are an administrator of more than one physical location for the same employer.
You are an administrator for a specific location of the employer, and a different location of the employer is already registered.
A provider is its own payee. You have to register as both a provider and a payee business.
You are an administrator for a provider group. You may want to register as both the provider(s) business and the provider group business.
A billing service for a physicians group also provides a laboratory which has a Medicaid provider number. You may want to register as both a billing service and a Medicaid provider business.
Your employer is registered as a business in the MEDI System. The business registered needs an administrator due to vacation, illness or termination of the primary administrator.
You want to work on behalf of provider and payor business types. You will have to register in the Other Business category as a Payor Submitter for payors and as any other type for providers.
