Urgent NPI Update: Test Your Medicare Part B Claims Now!

After Medicare providers have submitted claims containing both NPIs and legacy identifiers and those claims have been paid, Medicare urges these providers to send a small batch of claims NOW with only the NPI in the primary provider fields. If the results are positive, begin increasing the number of claims in the batch.

Note: All current and past CMS NPI communications are available by clicking "CMS Communications" in the left column of the www.cms.hhs.gov/NationalProvIdentStand CMS webpage.
