NPI Background and the NPI Final Rule
An individual or organization must determine if it provides any services that fall within the definition of ``health care'' at Sec. 160.103. If it does provide those services, it is considered a health care provider and would be eligible for an NPI. If it does not, and does not provide other services or supplies that bring it within the definition of ``health care provider,'' it would not be a health care provider under HIPAA, and would not be eligible to receive an NPI.
The NPI Final Rule is found in Federal Register, Vol. 69, No. 15, Friday, January 23, 2004 http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fedreg/a040123c.html
