The NPI will be a ten digit numeric field that will include one check digit in the tenth position to ensure accuracy. This format will permit 200 billion unique identifiers to be issued without re-using the same values. The NPI will contain NO imbedded intelligence. In other words, you will not be able to determine a provider’s state, region, specialty, or any other information directly from their NPI.
