Associated Home Care of NJ

There is a lot of talk about NIP numbers in the medical community but not many
people really know what it is. As the name suggests, the National Provider Identifier
is a unique identification number for health care providers. All the entities in the
health care industr y will use this number to identify a home care agency.

NPI is a mandated HIPAA standard that was designed to simplify billing. Having an
NPI number reduces the need to report, maintain, and track multiple provider
identification numbers as it is accepted and recognized by all health plans.

Applying for an NPI is quite easy. A senior health care provider can do so by using
any of these three methods:

· By completing a paper application

· Using a web-based application

· Through a professional organization

Obtaining an NPI is free of cost and it is assigned using the National Plan and
Provider Enumeration System. The process takes almost 15 days and it is suggested
you follow up with the NPPES in case of a delay. There is no procedure as of now to
change the NPI number and it remains with the care agency even if a name, job, or
an address change occurs.
