MVP Health Care continues to work with health care providers transitioning to National Provider Identifiers (NPIs)

A National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a unique 10-digit identifier assigned to a health care provider for use in conducting various transactions with other health care entities. Applying for and using an NPI is mandated under the HIPAA Electronic Health Care Transactions and Code Sets regulations.

 

How and Where to Apply for NPIs
You may apply for your NPI either online or by mail. Please remember to include your MVP Health Care Provider ID on the application. This will help to ensure smooth billing and payment operations as we transition to this Federally-mandated identification system.

 

To apply for or update your NPI information online, go to https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/NPPES/Welcome.do

For a paper copy of the application, contact the NPI Enumerator at 1-800-465-3203.
TTY users may call 1-800-692-2326.
