      Add the following guidance to the appropriate profile note sections.

      For the EOB Professional/Non-clinician and Oral profiles:

      • ExplanationOfBenefit.supportingInfo[servicefacility]:  Service Facility Location information conveys the name, full address and identifier of the facility where services were rendered when that is different from the Billing/Performing Provider. Service Facility Location is not just an address nor is it a patient’s home. Examples of Service Facility Location include hospitals, nursing homes, laboratories or homeless shelter. Service Facility Location identifier is the facility’s Type 2 Organization NPI if they are a health care provider as defined under HIPAA.  If the service facility is not assigned an NPI, this data element will not be populated.  Reference CMS 1500 element 32a.
      • ExplanationOfBenefit.item.location[x]: Must be the CMS Place of Service code.  If the location of the facility is different from the Billing/Performing Provider. Service Facility Location is not just an address nor is it a patient’s home. Examples of Service Facility Location include hospitals, nursing homes, laboratories or homeless shelter, this would be mapped to ExplanationOfBenefit.supportingInfo[servicefacility].

      For the EOB Institutional – Inpatient and Outpatient profiles

      • ExplanationOfBenefit.item.location[x] is not applicable for the Institutional Inpatient and Outpatient profiles.  For Institutional claims, the service location is defined by the first two positions of UB-04 Type of Bill.  It is mapped to ExplanationOfBenefit.supportingInfo[typeofbill] and is applicable for all line items.
