Offer practitioners a friendly reminder to update NPI records
Credentialing & Verification Update, September 30, 2008
Physicians and non-physician practitioners are responsible for keeping their National Provider Identification (NPI) records up to date. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) advise practitioners to review and update their NPI record, and change their password, once a year. Your medical staff office may be able to provide a friendly reminder to practitioners to do so at times of reappointment or with simple signage in your office
Practitioners may also visit the Web site of the National Plan & Provider Enumeration System or call (800) 465-3203 with questions regarding the NPI system.
