CMA Member Benefit of the Week: For 1 Month Only, Save $50 on CMA’s National Provider Identifier Toolkit
Next year, physicians will no longer have to keep track of and use multiple identification numbers assigned to them by health plans. Effective May 23, 2007, physicians will instead use a single “national provider identifier” (NPI). NPIs will, however, pose a unique challenge to your software systems, including billing and electronic health records. Will your software systems be current with the new number when it is required? Physicians are advised to start an inventory as soon as it is practical. CMA’s HIPAA partner, PrivaPlan Associates Inc., has developed an inexpensive CD-ROM toolkit to help physicians navigate the NPI process. For one month only, CMA members pay only $79 (in September, the price goes back to $99). Nonmembers pay $129. Click here to order the toolkit. More information on NPIs is available in CMA ON-CALL document #1608, “National Provider Identification Numbers.” ON-CALL documents are free to members at CMA's members-only website. Nonmembers can purchase ON-CALL documents for $2 per page in CMA's online bookstore. Previously Featured Benefits:
