Do you have your National Provider Identifier (NPI)?NPI Tip The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has posted guidance to help Medicare enrolled health care providers determine how they should handle “subparts” and whether these will need a separate National Provider Identifier for use in standard electronic transactions under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. HIPAA required the reporting of a standard unique identifier on electronic claims and other standard electronic transactions by May 23, 2007. Medicare also published a table to indicate important dates that health care providers could begin transitioning to the NPI.

Get It. Share It. Use It.
If you are a health care provider who bills for services, you probably need an NPI. If you bill Medicare for services, you definitely need an NPI! Getting an NPI is easy. Getting an NPI is free. The first step is to get your NPI. Once you obtain your NPI, it is estimated that it will take 120 days to do the remaining work to use it. This includes working on your internal billing systems, coordinating with billing services, vendors, and clearinghouses, testing with payers. As outlined in the Federal Regulation, (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)) you must also share their NPI with other providers, health plans, clearinghouses, and any entity that may need it for billing purposes. If you delay applying for your NPI, you risk your cash flow and that of your health care partners as well.
