(NPI) Application and Update Form and
Supporting Regs in 45 CFR 142.408, 45
CFR 162.408, 45 CFR 162.406; Use: The
adoption by the Secretary of HHS of the
standard unique health identifier for
health care providers is a requirement of
the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
The unique identifier is to be used on
standard transactions and may be used
for other lawful purposes in the health
care system. The CMS Final Rule
published on January 23, 2004, adopts
the National Provider Identifier (NPI) as
the standard unique health identifier for
health care providers. Health care
providers that are covered entities under
HIPAA must apply for and use NPIs in
standard transactions. Other health care
providers are eligible for NPIs but are
not required by regulation to apply for
them or use them. Health care providers
began applying for NPIs on May 23,
2005.
The National Provider Identifier
Application and Update Form is used
by health care providers to apply for
NPIs and furnish updates to the
information they supplied on their
initial applications. The form is also
used to deactivate their NPIs if
necessary. The original application form
was approved in February 2005 and has
been in use since May 23, 2005. The
form is available on paper or can be
completed via a web-based process.
Health care providers can mail a paper
application, complete the application
via the web-based process via the
National Plan and Provider
Enumeration System (NPPES), or have a
trusted organization submit the
application on their behalf via the
Electronic File Interchange (EFI)
process. The Enumerator uses the
NPPES to process the application and
generate the NPI. NPPES is the Medicare
contractor tasked with issuing NPIs, and
maintaining and storing NPI data. Form

the Part D plan’s formulary. The notice
reminds enrollees about certain rights

how to contact their Part D plan if the
prescription cannot be filled. Form
