Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2008 2:28 pm
MedTech has been notified that the Missouri HealthNet Program will end its NPI contingency plan and implement full use of the NPI for all claims processing immediately following the close of the financial cycle on Friday, May 9, 2008. As required by federal regulation, all HIPAA standard transactions must reflect only an NPI as the provider identifier by May 23, 2008.
Prior to the full NPI implementation, individual providers or provider administrators, as registered on the MO HealthNet Billing Web site, may use the Add/View NPI function to verify MO HealthNet has received their NPI and has used the crosswalk to match it to the appropriate legacy provider identifier.
