A. When the provider has an NPI, the default behavior is to blank the corresponding secondary IDs. This is a Carrier option (Setup > Lookup Lists > Carriers > CMS-1500). Look for the Ignore provider secondary IDs check box and remove the check to print the secondary IDs even when the NPI is present.
