CMS updates NPI requirements
Rehab Regs, November 30, 2007
Starting March 1, 2008, the Medicare Fee-For-Service 837P and CMS-1500 claims are required to include a national provider identifier (NPI) in the primary fields, according to a CMS press release. Also in March, Medicare is requiring that the billing and pay-to providers identify their NPIs in both electronic and paper institutional claims, such as those found on the 837I and UB-04 forms.
