Is there a way to link an individual NPI to a group or organization?
No. NPIs are not tied together in the national database, NPPES. Each NPI stands alone. For example, the NPI of an organizational provider is not linked to the NPIs of its subparts or affiliated corporations except to the extent that they may share certain data, such as tax numbers, or have similar names.
