When setting up or updating your practice data, you will create a series of grid entries (rules) on the Practice IDs and Provider IDs grid. You may also use the Facility IDs and Referring Physician IDs grids depending on your practice structure. These grid entries that you complete contain your basic practice information, such as group or individual NPI, taxonomy, tax IDs, claim filing status (group or individual), and connect this information to the insurance carriers that your practice accepts and the doctors in your practice as a series of rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lytec\u2019s \u201cIDs Grids\u201d allow you to control what NPIs are used in boxes 24J (<em>Rendering Provider<\/em>) and 33a (<em>Billing Provider<\/em>), and optionally in boxes 17b (<em>Referring Physician<\/em>) and 32a (<em>Service Facility<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.2kmedicalbilling.net\/Lytec-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CMS-1500.png?resize=1024%2C628&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.2kmedicalbilling.net\/Lytec-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CMS-1500.png?resize=1024%2C628&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.2kmedicalbilling.net\/Lytec-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CMS-1500.png?resize=300%2C184&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.2kmedicalbilling.net\/Lytec-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CMS-1500.png?resize=768%2C471&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.2kmedicalbilling.net\/Lytec-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/CMS-1500.png?w=1304&amp;ssl=1 1304w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First let\u2019s take a look at populating box 33a (<em>Billing Provider NPI<\/em>).&nbsp;
