Q: What type of current information does Desert Medical Billing and Consulting, Inc., provide? Have you heard about NPI?
A: The NPI stands for National Provider Identifier and the purpose of collecting this information is to assign a standard unique health identifier to each health care provider for use on standard transactions. The NPI will simplify the administrative processing of certain health information. Further, it will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of standard transactions in the Medicare and Medicaid programs and other Federal health programs and private health programs. The information collected will be entered into a new system of records called National Provider System (NPS). Individually identifiable providers’ data is protected by the Privacy Act of 1974. You must obtain the NPI by spring/May of 2007. You can apply using the web-based NPI process at the following address: https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov or send a completed application to: NPI Enumerator, P.O. Box 6059, Fargo, ND 58108-6059.
