NPI: Get Your NPI Now - The Countdown Has Begun
Updated: March 28, 2007
Countdown has begun; do you have your NPI? Don’t risk disruption to your cash flow – Get your NPI now! National Provider Identifiers (NPIs) will be required on Medi-Cal claims sent on or after November 26, 2007. Every healthcare provider needs to get an NPI, except for providers that are considered atypical.
Learn more about NPI and how to apply by visiting Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Web site.
This page also contains a section for Medicare Fee-For-Service (FFS) providers with helpful information on the Medicare NPI implementation. A countdown clock is now available on this page to remind health care providers of the number of days left before the compliance date; bookmark this page as new information and resources will continue to be posted.
