Important National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) Information for Organization Providers

 

When organization health care providers apply for NPIs, it is important that they enter their correct legal business name and Employer Identification Number (EIN). 

NPPES will be establishing a verification process with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to verify the legal business name and the associated EIN submitted on the NPPES applications and updates. Providers will be notified as CMS develops and implements this process.  In the meantime, CMS encourages providers to be proactive and verify that this information is correct in order to avoid any potential issues in the future.
