Yes, all Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-covered health care providers must obtain an NPI to identify themselves in HIPAA-standard transactions. For Medi-Cal, the NPI is also required when using hard copy claim forms. A provider is required to obtain an NPI unless they are considered an “atypical” provider (Blood Banks, Christian Science Practitioner, Multipurpose Senior Services Program).
