Your NPI Number
Since 1996, health-care providers have been required by the federal government to have a National Provider Identifier (NPI) number. Getting your own NPI number is a free, simple process that includes providing your state license number. If you are in a state that is unlicensed, you may want to call the toll-free number below to ask if you may use a national certification or another method to verify your qualifications.
