Are YOU Using Your NPI?

On March 1, 2008, Medicare claims submitted by physicians and other practitioners, laboratories, ambulance company suppliers, DMEPOS suppliers and others that bill Medicare are required to include the new National Provider Identifier (NPI).

All 837P and CMS-1500 claims MUST have an NPI or NPI/legacy pair in the required primary provider fields. Failure to include an NPI will cause rejection of the claim!
