The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is hosting a conference call to discuss its new NPI data dissemination policy. The policy, announced last week, will allow physicians and other covered entities to soon be able to look up NPIs by simply entering the provider or facility name into an online database. This online lookup will be available on June 28, 30-days after CMS’s official NPI data dissemination policy was published in the Federal Register.

The call is Thursday, June 14, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Pacific Time. Physicians are encouraged to register as soon as possible, as phone ports are limited and these calls often fill up. Registration closes 24 hours prior to the call.

Registration details are available on the CMS website.
