Yes. Medi-Cal and Children’s Health and Disability Prevention program providers who have received their NPI from NPPES must register their NPI with DHCS. Providers can register their NPI using one of the following methods: • National Provider Identifier Collection (NPIC) tool – The NPIC tool allows NPIs to be registered one at a time, quickly and for free. The online NPI registration tool is available from the Register/Update/Inquire NPIs page. • NPI Bulk Registration Tool (BRT) – The BRT is available to providers who would prefer to register multiple NPIs at the same time (mass registration). Instructions are available from the Register/Update/Inquire NPIs page. • NPI Paper Registration – The paper registration process using the National Provider Identifier Registration Form is intended for providers who do not have Internet access. Forms can also be obtained by calling the TSC at 1-800-541-5555 and selecting option 16, followed by option 18.
