The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will host a National Provider Identifier (NPI) roundtable on Feb. 6 from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST. This call will focus on the status of the Medicare implementation and a related question-and-answer session.
Also, the Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI) will host an audiocast on Feb. 21 to discuss NPI implementation from an industrywide standpoint. Please note there is a charge to participate in WEDI events.
Be aware that two key dates remain for 2008 in Medicare’s NPI implementation plan. There is also some confusion as to the difference between the implementation steps for March 1 and May 23. The CMS web site includes information about the implementation steps for each date and further clarifying the difference between the two dates.
