Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Under HIPAA regs, US providers engaged in standard electronic transactions (such as insurance claims) are required to obtain and use a National Provider Identifier (NPI) by May 23, 2007. The use of the NPI number will become ubiquitous, just like social security numbers and employer identification numbers. Even if you are not a HIPAA-covered entity, the NPI will soon become necessary in the course of your dealings with other providers and with payers. I've posted a brief article (in pdf format) on how to quickly obtain an NPI at: http://www.convergentmedical.com/newsdesk.html Best Regards, David Kailin, Ph.D., M.P.H., L.Ac.
