How can new providers apply to the Medi-Cal program with an NPI?

Effective May 23, 2007, all applicants and providers are required to submit their NPI with each Medi-Cal provider application package. Current Medi-Cal providers will be required to submit both the NPI and any Medi-Cal provider numbers issued previously on any application form submitted to DHCS. Applicants are required to attach a copy of the CMS NPPES confirmation/verification letter for each NPI listed in the application package. If providers are not eligible to receive an NPI, they should instead enter the word “atypical” in any NPI fields. These “atypical” providers will receive a unique Medi-Cal provider number once the application is approved.
