Important Updates

NPI update

All Health Care Providers were required to apply for a National Provider Identifier (NPI). The compliance date was May 23, 2007. This number will replace all legacy identification numbers including Medicaid and Medicare. The assigned NPI does not expire and contains no embedded information about the Health Care Provider that it identifies. Providers will not be able to submit electronic claims without an NPI number.
