Power of Payment: National Provider Identifier
Learn about the National Provider Identifier (NPI) and why it's crucial for every dietetics practitioner to have one, even if you're not currently conducting health care transactions that require it. Enacted as part of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) law in the mid-1990s, the NPI was developed as a standard, unique identifier for healthcare providers. This identifier helps to improve the efficiency of the healthcare system, reduce fraud and abuse, and securely facilitate the electronic transmission of claims and other healthcare information. In addition, NPIs help demonstrate a viable workforce (which supports expanding nutrition services covered by insurance). Don't miss this opportunity to improve your understanding of why having an NPI helps ensure that the profession remains relevant in a rapidly changing health care environment. Exclusively for members of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
