Medicare to require physicians to use new ID numbers on March 1
January 7th, 2008 Posted by: Dr. Dobson
Washington — Two more national provider identifier deadlines are fast approaching for physicians.
As of March 1, doctors who bill Medicare electronically must include their NPIs on all Medicare claims in addition to any older IDs they may have been using. For most of the past year, the program has been allowing physicians to use their older, “legacy” identifiers alone while they obtained new NPIs and made sure the personal information attached to all of the numbers was matching correctly.
