Healthcare organizations do not have to be covered entities under HIPAA in order to apply for an NPI, according to a series of new NPI training modules developed and released by CMS.
The agency developed the modules to assist providers with self-education and to train staff. At completion, the training will consist of the following modules:
- Module 1: General Information
- Module 2: Electronic File Interchange
- Module 3: Subparts
- Module 4: Data Dissemination
- Module 5: Medicare Implementation
Modules 1-3 are currently available. Each module consists of a PowerPoint® presentation and is designed to stand alone or be combined with other training for a particular audience.
