The NPI is required in electronic exchanges of HIPAA transactions. Existing identification numbers can continue to be used in paper and non-HIPAA electronic transactions after the mandatory compliance date. However, the NPI mandate does allow payers to require the use of the NPI on all transactions, including paper, to improve processing efficiency.
