CMS Releases Details of NPI Contingency Plan
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Friday announced the details of its National Provider Identifier (NPI) contingency plan for Medicare fee for service claims. CMS in May will assess the number of claims submitted with NPIs. If this analysis demonstrates a sufficient level of readiness among providers, Medicare will begin to reject claims without NPIs on July 1. If, however, the May analysis shows a low level of readiness, the situation will be reassessed in June. If the June analysis demonstrates a sufficient level of readiness, claims without NPIs will be rejected as of August 1. CMS may extend the deadline even further based on the results of the June analysis. CMS will also be hosting a conference call on this issue on May 10, from 11 am to 12:30 pm Pacific time. Registration details will be available soon. Contact: CMA’s legal information line, 415/882-5144 or legalinfo@cmanet.org.
