Description:
The NPI (National Provider Identifier) code that represents the data transmission source. This item stores the NPI of the facility registry that transmits the record.
NPI, a unique identification number for US health care providers, was scheduled for 2007-2008 implementation by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as part of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). For billing purposes, large practices and large group providers were required to use NPI codes by May 2007; small health plans were required to use NPI codes by May 2008.
If the transmission source is not a health care provider or a covered entity, this item will be blank and the item Registry ID [40] should be used to identify the transmission source.
Rationale:
The NPI equivalent of Registry ID [40].
