By now, you are likely familiar with CMS' new National Provider Identifier (NPI) plan, which requires each healthcare provider in the U.S. to have a unique identification number. The original deadline for healthcare organizations to be in compliance with the plan was May 24, but CMS recently extended that date to May 23, 2008 for those organizations showing a good faith effort to comply with the new system.

 

In the meantime, CMS has released new details about its NPI dissemination plan in the May 30 Federal Register.

 

The notice "addresses [which individuals] may have access to the data or may receive data from the system, the processes for requesting and receiving data, and the conditions under which data may be disclosed."
