Thought I'd pass on this.....
April 3, 2007 12-month delay in NPI use granted You'll get an extra 12 months -- until May 23, 2008 -- until mandatory use of the National Provider Identifier (NPI) takes effect, as long as you show you have made a good faith effort to comply with NPI rules, CMS announced late yesterday. The contingency plan allows you to continue to use your UPIN/PIN on Medicare claims past May 23, and follows industry clamor that practices would not be ready to report only the NPI. CMS acknowleges these concerns in its announcement. Look for more details on this breaking story in the April 9 issue of Part B News, coming to your email on April 5. * * * Terri Bryant I/S Financial Coordinator Merle West Medical Center Klamath Falls, OR 97601 541-274-5402 *New* direct line 541-880-1303 beeper 541-885-4679 fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= To subscribe or unsubscribe to the meditech-l, visit MTUsers.NET.
