Alphabetical Index Searching
Let's say you're looking for AARP, aka American Association of Retired Persons... In PayorID.com, you can look up either version of the name..
Click on "A"...Notice how you get a secondary listing of two-letter combinations (which are useful for filtering the list down to names that begin with, say "Am"). Below that is the list of all payors beginning with "A".
Click on "AARP" to retrieve the information for that payor...
or you could click on "Am" to search for "American Association..."
... and then click on "American Association of Retired Persons" to get the same information on the payor as if you had clicked "AARP"...

Scenario 5:
Use a wildcard * search in a case where you only know part of the name, and are not sure where the part of the name falls in the title. For example: If you are looking for a payor, and all you remember is that the word 'California' was part of the title. Type "*california" in the payor criteria box and click search. The search returns all payors with the word 'California' in their titles.
