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.
