How do I change NPI information?
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
NPI is a HIPAA Administrative Simplification Standard. It is an intelligence-free, 10-digit numerical identifier.
For covered entities and health care workers, the NPI is a distinctive identification number. Covered health care services, all health programs, and health care clearinghouses must utilize NPIs in administrative and financial transactions under HIPAA.
How to change NPI information?
You can either create a login ID or just click the “Sign In” tab if you already have an NPI login account.
Simply click the “Create or Manage Account” link to create an NPI account. You must input the NPI number, first and last name, social security number, and date of birth if you wish to create an NPI login for a specific health care provider. If you wish to create an account for an organisation, you’ll need to provide the NPI number, the name of the company, and the Employer Identification Number.
Click “View/Modify NPI Data”
Simply click “View/Modify NPI Data” once you’ve logged in. Now you will get an option to enter your new address and then click “Submit.”
