What are the NPI reporting instructions for hospital psychiatric and rehabilitation units?
Many hospitals are enumerating their Medicare-exempt psychiatric and rehabilitation units separately from the hospital. Currently, BCBSM pays for psychiatric and rehabilitation services under the hospital’s facility code. If hospitals have obtained separate NPIs for these units, they must register those NPIs with our Provider Contracting department and with EDI. BCBSM will associate the NPIs for the hospital rehabilitation and psychiatric units with the existing BCBSM facility code of the hospital. Psychiatric and rehabilitation units in a hospital are not separately contracted with BCBSM. As a result, the hospital NPI will be returned on checks, vouchers and 835 electronic transactions for psychiatric and rehabilitation claims. If hospitals haven’t reported their psychiatric and rehabilitation NPIs to BCBSM, please register with us. If you have questions about how to register your NPIs with BCBSM’s Provider Contracting department, please call 800-777-2118. You are also required to upd
