Company Setting - Populate Primary ICN Number When This Payer is the Secondary

The " Populate Primary ICN Number When This Payer is the Secondary" company setting allows a practice to pull the ICN number from the 835 when the deposit/claim is posted from the primary payer response, and then add the ICN number to the Original Reference number field on the claim. This is a comma delimited setting for the payer id of the secondary payer that will trigger the ICN number to populate the original reference number.


Default Value:  Off (no values entered)

Options: 

  • Off (no values entered) - No provider ID's entered
  • On (Provider ID's added) -  Primary ICN number will be populated for the Payer ID(s) entered when they are the secondary on the claim.
