NPI Registry Back Up

Yeah! The NPI Registry is back up. You can once again look up NPI numbers on the internet. For us, this is a huge time saver. I hate to call a busy provider's office and ask for a Dr's NPI number. Also, I'm getting back some claims stating the NPI number is invalid. I like to double check the number before calling to see what the issue is. So for all of you that are always needing to call to get a provider's NPI number, try using the NPI registy to look it up!

Thanks
Michele

If you haven't checked out the NPI registry site yet, be sure you do soon. I often walk into Michele's office and hear her say "I love this NPI lookup site". Before the site, we were calling every doctor's office to get the NPI numbers. Claims are now being denied for lack of these numbers for referring doctors. Be sure you understand the use of NPI numbers. You can read more about them at http://www.solutions-medical-billing.com/npinumber.html
