For medical supply companies and durable medical equipment suppliers, how should state license numbers be reported?
In cases where the rendering provider state license number is unavailable or prohibitively costly to document, the California DWC/WCIS suggests following the IAIABC guidelines, which indicate default values should be sent to the jurisdiction as a string of 9s. The suggested format is to utilize the format provided by the California Department of Consumer Affairs in the master file of all licensed medical providers in the State of California, which is 8 digits (fields 9-16 license number) and is to be sent in REF02 127 in the 2310B Loop of the California-adopted IAIABC 837 transmission.
