IBHRS Billing Engine Configuration

About

In the Billing Engine, Insurance Payers must be designated as IBHRS payers using specific IBHRS-assigned codes. These codes are used by NSS to pull data to send to IBHRS. To enable this, Agencies must configure two things in the Billing Engine:

Increase Character Limit Code Length for Code Type MINST

  3. Once MINST (Master Insurance Type) is highlighted, click the Ok button.

  1. In the Code Types Form, click the Edit button.
  2. In the Code Length field, delete 2 and replace it with a value of 10.
