Are You Having Medicare NPI Problems? Medicare Carrier Hosting Provider Enrollment Webinar
[Posted 02/18/08]

California’s Medicare Carrier is hosting a live interactive webinar on Tuesday, March 25, to assist physicians with the provider enrollment process.
As you may know, changes in the Medicare enrollment process over the years have caused some differences between the NPI and Medicare identification number assignment process. This may require some physicians to complete a new Medicare enrollment form so that their NPI and Medicare “provider types” match. 

Particularly affected are solo incorporated practices. Solo incorporated practices are required to obtain both an organizational NPI and an individual NPI. If you have two NPIs but only one Medicare provider number, a new CMS 855 application may be necessary.

It is important that physicians resolve any mismatch issues before the May 23 NPI deadline.

These webinars fill up fast, so register today to reserve your spot. NIHC has set aside 150 spots exclusively for CMA members. Members can preregister today, before registration is opened to the general public.
