LARS INSURANCE UPDATE

LARS Insurance Committee Chairman

Changes in the enrollment process over the years have caused some differences between the NPI and Medicare identification number assignment process.  This may require some providers to complete an 855I enrollment form in order for their NPI and Medicare numbers to match.

The enclosed decision chart is designed to assist providers in determining if they will need to complete a new enrollment form for Medicare before they start using their NPI numbers.  Providers particularly affected by the changes include solo incorporated practitioners (Professional Corporations, LLC, Professional Associations, Corporations). These providers are considered a group or entity for Medicare number assignment.
