Manage Provider Information¶
Users will be able to view or modify NPI applications for the providers they have access to listed in a grid. If the provider has more than one NPI application, select the file icon in the Action column to view all NPIs associated with the provider.
Partially entered new NPI applications and changes to existing NPIs can be saved and submitted at a later time. However, after 30 days of inactivity (based on the last time the NPI application was updated), the request will be considered abandoned and the new application/changes will be discarded.
Users can filter the records provided in the grid by using the Search and Filter box functionality. Users can search and filter by relevant provider information displayed in the grid that includes, but is not limited to Provider’s Name, Telephone Number and NPI (limited to those providers and organizations with only 1 NPI).
To search for an organization with more than 1 NPI users will need to use the Search by NPI feature. This feature will return a single NPI when only one NPI exists for the organization or provider or will return the grouping of NPIs for the organization with multiple NPIs that the NPI belongs to. The user can then select the organization and see all the NPIs associated to it. This search requires the entry of the full (10 digit) NPI number.
