9-Digit Subscriber and Patient Zip Codes

Overview

Loops 2010BA N403 and 2010CA N403 generate the Subscriber and Patient Zip codes and currently allow 5-digit zip codes. A payer may require a 9-digit zip code for Loops 2010BA N403 and 2010CA N403 and will accept the addition of 4 trailing zeros.

What's New

A new ANSI form-based setting has been added to append '0000' to the end of a 5-digit zip code in order to form a complete 9-digit zip code.

This setting applies to the following zip codes:

·         Patient ZIP code

·         Subscriber ZIP code

ANSI Form Setting:

N403 9-Digit Zip=1 (default=0)  (forces 0000 to be appended when a 9-digit zip is not present).
