National Provider ID (NPI)

Getting an NPI is free - not having one can be costly.

NPI Disclosures by Industry Entities to Industry Entities
A new guidance document is available at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/NationalProvIdentStand/Downloads/NPIdisclosures.pdf on the CMS NPI web page.  This guidance relates to the disclosure of health care providers’ NPIs by health industry entities for the purpose of using NPIs in HIPAA standard transactions.  

Still Confused?

Not sure what an NPI is and how you can get it, share it and use it?  As always, more information and education on the NPI can be found at the CMS NPI page www.cms.hhs.gov/NationalProvIdentStand on the CMS website.  Providers can apply for an NPI online at https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov or can call the NPI enumerator to request a paper application at 1-800-465-3203.
