837 HIPAA Electronic Claim Transaction
 A nine-digit zip code must be submitted.
 No PO Box address should be sent on a claim – street
addresses only.
 Electronic billers may place P.O. box information in the
pay-to address loop. Paper providers must provide a DBA
address.
 You can now submit up to 12 diagnosis codes per claim,
with a maximum of four per service line.
 When applicable, claims must include additional drug
information and qualifiers, such as NDC code, quantity,
composite unit of measure and prescription date and
number.
8

 Providers must report their NPI* on all claim submissions.
 New pick-up and drop-off codes must be submitted when
billing for ambulance or non-emergency transportation
services.
 F5 qualifier (Patient Paid Amount) deleted – Providers
must use the F3 qualifier (Patient Estimated Amount
Due).
 Acute inpatient hospitals must provide a POA (Present on
Admission) indicator for the Principal, Other, and External
Cause of Injury segments.
 Taxonomy code qualifier change (ZZ to PXC).
 The patient reason for visit must appear on all out-patient
claims to comply with the HIPAA Implementation Guide.
* Except providers who are exempt from the NPI requirement (i.e. Atypical Providers) 9

 When applicable, all ingredients for a compound drug
prescription must be identified on the claim, and have the
same prescription number or the same linkage number, if
provided without a prescription.
 Anesthesia services billed with procedure codes must
indicate a specific time period defined in the code
description. Otherwise, these services must be reported in
minutes.
 Anesthesia services reported in units will no longer be
accepted.
10

 All MassHealth providers must enter an ICD-9 diagnosis
code on all claim submissions. All paper claims must also
contain diagnosis information.
 If prior authorization (PA) is required* for a service on a
claim:
- Enter the PA at the header level for the entire claim.
- Enter the PA at the service line when it differs from the
one entered at the header level.
 If a referral is required* for a service on a claim:
- Enter the referral at the header level for the entire
claim.
- Enter the referral at the service line when it differs from
the one entered at the header level.
* Please note that if a PA or referral is on file in POSC, providers can also submit claims without these
numbers and the system will match the claim 11

837 Coordination of Benefits (COB)
 Payer paid amount must balance at both the service line
and the claim level. The provider billed amount on the
service line should balance to the sum of the service line
payer paid amount and service line adjustment reason
code amounts.
The “total non-covered amount” must be submitted in
lieu of providing the prior payer amount, and any
adjustment segments previously submitted in exception
billing.
Check remittance date cannot be submitted at both the
claim and service line level. For community health, you
must put the date at the service line level.
