How is DPW going to crosswalk our current 9 digit number with the 4 digit suffix’s to the required NPI?
For health care providers who will be required to use their NPI number on HIPAA transactions, DPW’s strategy is to bring in the provider’s NPI number, Taxonomy Code and 9 digit zip and crosswalk that information to the provider’s existing Medical Assistance number and service location. The Medical Assistance number will be used to do all processing internally. When the transaction is finalized, the outgoing communication of the provider number will reflect the NPI information.
