Abstract: The EFI process allows provider-designated organizations (EFIOs) to capture multiple providers' NPI application information on a single file. To ensure that the EFIO has the authority to act on behalf of the each provider and complies with other Federal requirements, the EFIO must sign a certification statement and mail it to CMS. Most EFIOs will be entities that employ or represent large number of medical providers.
