Full implementation of NPIs will take place on May 1, 2009. Upon full implementation, the Medicaid Provider Number (MPN) will no longer be allowed on paper or electronic claims. Claims submitted with the MPN will be denied unless the provider is atypical.
Effective May 1, 2009 and after, claims submitted with the Medicaid Provider Number will be denied unless the provider is atypical.
For all claims (except pharmacy) that are submitted electronically, a taxonomy code must be included for the billing provider. However, if the procedure or service is billed with an attending provider number, only the taxonomy code for the attending provider is included on the electronic claim submission. For paper claims, a taxonomy code for the both the billing provider and, if applicable, the attending provider must be included on the claim.
Note: Pharmacy providers must submit claims with their NPI number and the prescriber’s NPI number or DEA number entered on the claim.
