At the request of the National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics (NCVHS), WEDI has prepared a follow up survey to the April 2007 Readiness Survey in order to measure the health care industry's progress in achieving NPI compliance, especially as the industry has moved into a period of contingency. To ensure complete anonymity we have removed any questions that could be used to identify the respondents. Please be assured that no NPI enforcement or punitive action will result from participating in this survey.

It is extremely important that you complete all the questions so we can obtain an accurate assessment of everyone's NPI readiness. If you are a health care entity that engages in multiple categories contained in this survey (Health Plan, Health Care Provider, and clearinghouse), please answer the survey for each category applicable to your organization.

WEDI encourages you to forward this email link to any other companies you know affected by NPI so they can also complete the survey. WEDI would like to thank you in advance for your participation.  Please note that THIS SURVEY WILL CLOSE FRIDAY, June 29th.
