The CMS-1500 Claim
form contains a number of improvements and enhancements. The new claim
form will be able to accommodate the reporting of the National
Provider Identifier (NPI) Number. The NPI will be a single provider
identifier replacing the different provider identifiers healthcare
systems currently use for each health plan with which you do business.
The NPI Identifier, which implements a requirement of the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HPIAA), mustbe
used by all HIPAA covered entities, which are health plans, healthcare
clearinghouses, and healthcare providers. |
