Atypical and Foreign providers are exempt from submitting claims with an NPI number. Atypical providers are usually not health care providers, e.g., non-emergency transport van, adult day care provider, etc. Atypical providers do not usually provide TRICARE benefits. Foreign providers who are certified-authorized TRICARE providers are not required to obtain an NPI.
