this tab determines what prints in Box 33 of the CMS-1500 form.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the&nbsp;<strong>Claims<\/strong>&nbsp;section, select

or if solo-provider with no Group\/Practice NPI, enter the Provider\u2019s Individual NPI.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also select&nbsp;<strong>Tax Identifier<\/strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>Social Security

can be used when your &#8220;Pay To&#8221; address is different from your &#8220;Billing&#8221; address.&nbsp;&nbsp;This can be used on electronic claims or paper claims (<em>with
