What is the fastest way that I can obtain a National
Provider Identifier (NPI) for me or my organization?
The web-based NPI application process is the fastest and
most efficient way for a health care provider to obtain an NPI. To apply, go to
https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/nppes.
How should a provider request the National Provider
Identifier (NPI) of another provider?
it is very important that health care providers share their
NPIs with health plans and with other health care providers who need their NPIs
for transaction purposes. For example, providers who refer patients to one
another may need to report the referring providers’ NPIs on health care claims.
