The NPI is here.  The NPI is now.  Are you using it?

 

The NPI Registry and the downloadable file are now available.  To view the Registry, visit https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/NPPES/NPIRegistryHome.do on the web.  The downloadable file is available at http://nppesdata.cms.hhs.gov/cms_NPI_files.html on the web. 

 

Additionally, the final module in the NPI Training Package is now available.  Module 4, Data Dissemination, is now available at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/NationalProvIdentStand/Downloads/NPI_Module4_Data_Dissemination.pdf on the CMS website.  This module describes the policy by which CMS will make certain NPPES data available, as well as the data CMS is disclosing.

 

 As always, more information and education on the NPI can be found through the CMS NPI page www.cms.hhs.gov/NationalProvIdentStand on the CMS website.  Providers can apply for an NPI online at https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov or can call the NPI enumerator to request a paper application at 1-800-465-3203.  Having trouble viewing any of the URLs in this message?  If so, try to cut and paste any URL in this message into your web browser to view the intended information. 

Getting an NPI is free - not having one can be costly.
