For larger organizations that have multiple corporate locations with their own NPI, and tax ID numbers, the Location Groups feature enables you to create locations with a different organization name, addresses, NPI numbers and tax ID numbers. When Location Groups are selected on an invoice this information is entered into the CMS-1500 form when submitting claims.
