Another payer has notified me that in addition to my NPI, I must submit a different tax ID number on my claims. Should I make the same change in my Aetna claims submissions?
Some providers have multiple tax ID numbers, for example, SSN and EIN or multiple EINs. We are aware that other payers, such as Medicare, have asked some providers to submit claims with a different tax ID number than they used in the past. However, if you make changes to the tax ID number on your Aetna claims, it may affect our ability to process your claims in a timely manner.
