What is an NPI number?

A National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a unique 10-digit number that CMS assigns to every U.S. healthcare provider and organization under HIPAA. Type 1 NPIs identify individual providers; Type 2 NPIs identify organizations. The NPI appears on insurance claims, prescriptions, and credentialing paperwork, and never changes, even if the provider moves or changes specialty.
