NPI - National Provider Identifier

This post deserves a repeat since many practitioners are not giving this the attention it needs. Like it or not, it will be here soon.

By May of 2007 (or sooner) if you submit your claims electronically, you will have to obtain a ten digit NPI from the government.

The application can be made over the web and usually takes only short time to process and receive. Or you can download and commplete a paper form and mail it in,

Data you will need when you apply is any tax ID's you use, state license number, home and practice address.

More information can be obtained by going to the ADA website www.ada.org.

You can apply at http://nppes.cms.hhs.gov or by calling 800-465-3203.
