What is “NPI” and what do I have to do?
“NPI” stands for “National Provider Identifier” and all providers that are sending claims to government agencies MUST attain this number. Contact your local Medicare office. As to what to do with it, there is a schedule being set by Medicare that allows for the transition from the old or “legacy” number to the new NPI. Medicare will decide WHERE on the HCFA form to put this information but with Signature CLAIMS, we can put that NPI number exactly where Medicare requires it, electronically and YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO A THING!
