The National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a 10-digit numeric identifier that uniquely identifies covered healthcare providers as mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the NPI is essential for administrative and financial transactions within the healthcare system.
All HIPAA-covered healthcare providers, including physicians, nurses, and various specialists, are required to obtain an NPI for use in standard transactions. This unique identifier plays a vital role in streamlining interactions between healthcare providers, health plans, and clearinghouses, ensuring efficient and consistent service delivery.
