Hi everyone!
Just wanted to leave a link here in hopes that you guys might follow me over there in my new journey! I only have a few entries up so far, but I have lots of catching up to do and I'm planning on having it up to date soon!

I'll leave this blog up, but will no longer be posting here. Thanks for reading and thank you for following!
xo!
**EDIT: it was pointed out to me (thanks Emma), that since I am post dating my entries for accuracy that they may not show up in your blog roll as they are organized by most recent date. Hopefully, this redirect will stay near the top of your blog roll, but in the meantime it's motivation for me to get the blog current!
If you want to, I can walk you through the process of automatically redirecting this blog to your new one. That way you won't lose any readers. I'll follow the new blog too, but let me know if you need help.
ReplyDeleteThat would be amazing!

ReplyDeleteA National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a unique 10-digit identification number issued to health care providers in the United States by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The NPI has replaced the Unique Physician Identification Number (UPIN) as the required identifier for Medicare services and is used by other payers, including commercial healthcare insurers. The transition to the NPI was mandated as part of the Administrative Simplification portion of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
ReplyDeleteThe NPI must be used in connection with the electronic transactions identified in HIPAA. In addition, the NPI may be used in several other ways:
by health care providers to identify themselves in health care transactions identified in HIPAA or on related correspondence;
by health care providers to identify other health care providers in health care transactions or on related correspondence;
by health care providers on prescriptions (however, the NPI will not replace requirements for the DEA number or state license number);
by health plans in their internal provider files to process transactions and communicate with health care providers;
by health plans to coordinate benefits with other health plans;
by health care clearinghouses in their internal files to create and process standard transactions and to communicate with health care providers and health plans;
by electronic patient record systems to identify treating health care providers in patient medical records;
by the Department of Health and Human Services to cross-reference health care providers in fraud and abuse files and other program integrity files;
for any other lawful activity requiring individual identification.
