Provider Announcement

The following items are covered in this announcement:

• NPI and Legacy Number Update

NPI - THE TIME IS NOW
Medicare claims must now contain your NPI numbers. All other payers will require NPI numbers on or before May 23, 2008.

ARE YOU READY?
Please make sure you have registered your NPI numbers with all payers. Please make sure you are sending your NPI numbers on your claims.
Test a small amount of your claims by sending NPI ONLY to make sure your claims won't be rejected when legacy numbers are no longer required.
