ETIN

An ETIN is an Electronic Transmitter Identification Number used in electronic transactions to identify who is sending and who is receiving a file.

The Fiscal Agent is considered a billing agent, and so will be using its own ETIN for claiming (837) and remittance (835) file processing.

For providers, the Medicaid Provider ID will determine payment. Although it is not necessary for a provider to have an ETIN, and the Fiscal Agent will not use a provider's ETIN, you may still choose to get one.
