NPI Registration
Establishing Your Provider’s National Healthcare Identity™
A National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a fundamental identifier used throughout the U.S. healthcare system for providers and healthcare organizations. Correct registration requires identifying the appropriate provider type, organizational structure, taxonomy classifications, practice information, and authorized individuals. AVC Medical Credentials™ helps organize the NPI registration process so the information established today supports future credentialing, payer enrollment, and billing activities.
How AVC Can Assist
- NPI Registration Assessment — Review the provider or healthcare organization to determine whether an Individual (Type 1), Organization (Type 2), or other applicable NPI registration structure may be required.
- Provider & Organization Information Preparation — Organize legal names, EIN and business information where applicable, practice locations, contact information, provider details, and other information required for registration.
- Healthcare Taxonomy Coordination — Assist in identifying and organizing appropriate healthcare provider taxonomy information based on the provider’s profession, specialty, and proposed services.
- NPPES Registration & Record Coordination — Assist with organizing information for NPI registration and maintaining consistency between NPPES records and information subsequently used for Medicare, Medicaid, CAQH, and insurance credentialing.
- Credentialing Sequence & Timeline Planning — Coordinate NPI registration with the broader credentialing roadmap so subsequent payer enrollment and provider credentialing activities can proceed in the appropriate sequence.
