Working with LSPNs

Working with LSPNs

Diagnostic items involving ultrasound require that you enter a Location Specific Provider Number (LSPN) in the Facilities database before the claim can be sent.

To assist you to find the correct LSPN there's a link on the Facilities page, which can be found under databases, to search the Medicare website. Once you've entered the LSPN into the Hospitals database it will be retained for future use. It will be transmitted automatically with electronic claims when the item number requires it.

For printed invoices, you will need to add a new line to the list of items on the invoice and enter the LSPN manually.
 
NOTE: you should also set the referral type on the invoice to Not Required before submitting it.
