Cross walk Ref MDs

M343 rendering provider PIN / NPI combination in loop 2310B does not exist in Medicare's crosswalk.

M340 - This error indicates that the billing provider PIN (Group Number) / NPI combination in loop 2010AA does not exist in Medicare's crosswalk

M342 - Referring provider NPI does not exist in Medicare's crosswalk. This edit was turned off shortly after it was turned on.

M329 - The NPI is invalid - based on the Luhn algorithm.

Page 16: NPI Testing To NPI Production

Effective August 27, 2007, for Minnesota and Wisconsin and September 4, 2007, for Illinois and Michigan, WPS Medicare will begin editing the NPI/legacy ID combinations for validity against the NPI crosswalk file. Where a match cannot be located on the crosswalk, claims will be rejected or returned to the provider.

Below are the dates which NPI edits will be turned to delete.

Page 18: NPI Testing To NPI Production

Recommendations for providers: Begin dual strategy immediately! Pay close attention to your prepass reports. Send NPI only on a small percentage of

claims (recommended 25 claims). Track claims with NPI throughout the claim process (e.g. compare to your remittance).

If results are as you expected, increase your volume of NPI only claims.
