Description
The NPI (National Provider Identifier) code that identifies the physician who is responsible for the overall management of the patient during diagnosis and/or treatment for this cancer.
NPI, a unique identification number for US health care providers, was scheduled for 2007-2008 implementation by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as part of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). For billing purposes, large practices and large group providers were required to use NPI codes by May 2007; small health plans were required to use NPI codes by May 2008.
Rationale
The NPI equivalent of Physician--Managing [2460].
Codes [Only valid NPI assigned 10-digit numeric codes (9-digit number plus 1 check digit). The check digit
algorithm is available at: https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/NPPES/NPIRegistryHome.do.]
