Information
This block is required.
A submitter ID is an EDI-specific ID that drives access to SPOT. A submitter ID is required, even if you are not submitting claims or retrieving electronic claim files through SPOT.
If nothing is selected, a new SPOT submitter ID will be assigned.
Complete only one selection: Assign a new electronic ID for 837 claim submission via SPOT or I am currently using submitter ID if you have already been assigned a SPOT submitter ID.
Indicate whether you are a billing service or clearinghouse. If nothing or both are selected, the submitter will be set up as a billing service.
All customers must obtain a new, or link to an existing SPOT submitter ID, to access SPOT – even if you will not be using it to submit your claims.
If you have an existing SPOT submitter ID, all NPI/PTANs under your SPOT submitter ID will be set up for 837 claim submission through the SPOT submitter ID.
If you are requesting to be assigned a SPOT submitter ID, 837 will be available once providers are linked to your SPOT submitter ID. To link providers to your SPOT submitter ID, the EDI SPOT enrollment form for provider organizations must be submitted requesting to add 837 claim submission to your existing submitter ID.
Instructions for new submitter ID requests
• Check the box to assign a new electronic submitter ID for 837 claim submission via SPOT.
• Optional: Check I am a billing service or clearinghouse.
Instructions for existing submitter ID requests
• This option should be used if your organization already has a SPOT submitter ID assigned, or if you want to add 837 claim submission to your SPOT submitter ID. Claim submission will be available for all NPI/PTANs under your SPOT submitter ID Your SPOT submitter ID and SPOT submitter name can be found in your initial SPOT enrollment confirmation letter or under Manage My Roles in IDM.
• Check the box I am currently using submitter ID: and include your existing SPOT submitter ID
