PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
Section 1173 of the Social Security Act authorizes the adoption of a standard unique health identifier for all health care providers
who conduct electronically any standard transaction adopted under 45 CFR 162. The purpose of collecting this information is to
assign a standard unique health identifier, the National Provider Identifier (NPI), to each health care provider for use on standard
transactions. The NPI will simplify the administrative processing of certain health information. Further, it will improve the efficiency
and effectiveness of standard transactions in the Medicare and Medicaid programs and other Federal health programs and private
health programs. The information collected will be entered into a new system of records called the National Provider System (NPS),
HHS/HCFA/OIS No. 09-70-0008. Institutional providers’ data are protected by section 1106 of the Social Security Act and the
Freedom of Information Act, while individually identifiable providers’ data are protected by the Privacy Act of 1974.
Failure to provide complete and accurate information may cause the application to be returned and delay processing. In addition, you
may experience problems being recognized by insurers if the records in their systems do not match the information you furnished on
the form. (See the instructions for completing the NPI application/update form to find the information that is voluntary or mandatory.)
Information may be disclosed under specific circumstances to:
1. The entity that contracts with HHS to perform the enumeration functions, and its agents, and the NPS for the purpose of
uniquely identifying and assigning NPIs to providers.
2. Entities implementing or maintaining systems and data files necessary for compliance with standards promulgated to comply
with title XI, part C, of the Social Security Act.
3. A congressional office, from the record of an individual, in response to an inquiry from the congressional office made at the
request of that individual.
4. Another Federal agency for use in processing research and statistical data directly related to the administration of its programs.
5. The Department of Justice, to a court or other tribunal, or to another party before such tribunal, when
(a) HHS, or any component thereof, or
(b) Any HHS employee in his or her official capacity; or
(c) Any HHS employee in his or her individual capacity, where the Department of Justice (or HHS, where it is authorized to
do so) has agreed to represent the employee; or
(d) The United States or any agency thereof where HHS determines that the litigation is likely to affect HHS or any of
its components
is party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and HHS determines that the use of such records by the Department of
Justice, the tribunal, or the other party is relevant and necessary to the litigation and would help in the effective representation
of the governmental party or interest, provided, however, that in each case HHS determines that such disclosure is compatible
with the purpose for which the records were collected.
6. An individual or organization for a research, demonstration, evaluation, or epidemiological project related to the prevention of
disease or disability, the restoration or maintenance of health, or for the purposes of determining, evaluating and/or assessing
cost, effectiveness, and/or the quality of health care services provided.
7. An Agency contractor for the purpose of collating, analyzing, aggregating or otherwise refining or processing records in this
system, or for developing, modifying and/or manipulating automated data processing (ADP) software. Data would also be disclosed to contractors incidental to consultation, programming, operation, user assistance, or maintenance for ADP or telecommunications systems containing or supporting records in the system.
8. An agency of a State Government, or established by State law, for purposes of determining, evaluating and/or assessing cost,
effectiveness, and/or quality of health care services provided in the State.
9. Another Federal or State agency
(a) As necessary to enable such agency to fulfill a requirement of a Federal statute or regulation, or a State statute or regulation
that implements a program funded in whole or in part with Federal funds.
(b) For the purpose of identifying health care providers for debt collection under the provisions of the Debt Collection
Information Act of 1996 and the Balanced Budget Act.

Entity Type 1: Individuals who render health care or furnish health care to patients; e.g., physicians, dentists, nurses, chiropractors, pharmacists,
physical therapists. Note that incorporated individuals may obtain NPIs for themselves if they are health care providers and may obtain NPIs for their
corporations (EntityType 2 Organizations). A sole proprietor is an Entity Type 1. (A sole proprietorship is a form of business in which one person owns
all the assets of the business and is solely liable for all the debts of the business in an individual capacity. Therefore, sole proprietorships are not
organization health care providers.) Note that sole proprietors may obtain only one NPI. Sole proprietors must report their SSNs (not EINs even if they
have EINs).
Entity Type 2: Organizations that render health care or furnish health care supplies to patients; e.g., hospitals, home health agencies, ambulance
companies, group practices, health maintenance organizations, durable medical equipment suppliers, pharmacies. If the organization is a subpart, check
yes and furnish the Legal Business Name (LBN) and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) of the “parent” organization health care provider. (A
subpart is a component of an organization health care provider. A subpart may be a different location or may furnish a different type of health care than
the organization health care provider.For ease of reference, we refer to that organization health care provider as the “parent”.)
SECTION 2 – IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

may possess.
A sole proprietor is an individual.

numbers), Medicaid-issued number (the name of the State is required if Medicaid Number is furnished), and numbers issued by other health plans or
organizations, such as the DEA number (give a brief description of issuer). If you do not have such numbers, you are not required to obtain them in order
to be assigned an NPI. Organizations should only furnish other provider identification numbers that belong to the organization; do not list identification
numbers that belong to health care providers who are individuals who work for the Organizations. NOTE: Information provided may be disclosed under specific
circumstances (See PrivacyStatement on Page 4).
D. Provider Taxonomy Code (Provider Type/Specialty) (Required)
Provide your 10-digit taxonomy code. You must select a primary taxonomy code in order to facilitate aggregate reporting of providers byclassification/specialization. If you
need additional taxonomy codes to describe your type/classification/specialization, you may select additional codes. Information on taxonomy codes is available at
www.wpc-edi.com/taxonomy.
Furnish the provider’s health care license, registration, or certificate number(s) (if applicable). If issued by a State, show the State that issued the license/certificate. The
following individual practitioners are required to submit a license number (If you are one of the following and do not have a license or certificate, you must enclose a letter to
the Enumerator explaining why not):
Certified Registered Nurse
Anesthetist
Chiropractor
Clinical Nurse Specialist

Clinical Psychologist
Dentist
Licensed Nurse
Nurse Practitioner

Optometrist
Pharmacist
Physician/Osteopath

Podiatrist
Registered Nurse

You may use the same license, registration, or certification number for multiple taxonomies; e.g., if you are a physician with several different specialties.
NOTE: A health care provider that is an organization, such as a hospital, may obtain an NPI for itself and for any subparts that it determines need to be assigned NPIs. In
some cases, the subparts have Provider Taxonomy Codes that may be different from that of the hospital and of each other, and each subpart may require separate licensing by
the State (e.g., General Acute Care Hospital and Psychiatric Unit). If the organization provider chooses to include these multiple Provider Taxonomy Codes in a request for a
single NPI, and later determines that the subparts should have been assigned their own NPIs with their associated Provider Taxonomy Codes, the organization provider must
delete from its NPPES record any Provider Taxonomy Codes that belong to the subparts who will be obtaining their own NPIs. The organization provider must do this by
initiating the Change of Information option on this form.
SECTION 4 – CERTIFICATION STATEMENT (Required)
This section is intended for the applicant to attest that he/she is aware of the requirements that must be met and maintained in order to obtain and retain an NPI. This section also
requires the signature and date of signature of the “Individual” who is the type 1 provider, or the “Authorized Official” of the type 2 organization who can legally bind the provider
to the laws and regulations relating to the NPI. See below to determine who within the provider qualifies as an Authorized Official. Review these requirements carefully.
Authorized Official’s Information and Signature for the Organization
By his/her signature, the authorized official binds the provider/supplier to all of the requirements listed in the Certification Statement and acknowledges that the
provider may be denied a National Provider Identifier if any requirements are not met. This section is intended for organizations; not health care providers who
are individuals. All signatures must be original. Stamps, faxed or photocopied signatures are unacceptable. You may include multiple credentials. Use additional
sheets of paper for multiple credentials if necessary.
An authorized official is an appointed official with the legal authority to make changes and/or updates to the provider’s status (e.g., change of address, etc.) and
to commit the provider to fully abide by the laws and regulations relating to the National Provider Identifier. The authorized official must be a general partner,
chairman of the board, chief financial officer, chief executive officer, direct owner of 5 percent or more of the provider being enumerated, or must hold a
position of similar status and authority within the provider.
Only the authorized official(s) has the authority to sign the application on behalf of the provider.
By signing this application for the National Provider Identifier, the authorized official agrees to immediately notify the NPI Enumerator if any information in the
application is not true, correct, or complete. In addition, the authorized official, by his/her signature, agrees to notify the NPI Enumerator of any changes to the
information contained in this form within 30 days of the effective date of the change.
SECTION 5 – CONTACT PERSON (If the contact person is the same person identified in 2A or 4B, complete items 8 & 9 in this section.) (Required)
To assist in the timely processing of the NPI application, provide the name and telephone number of an individual who can be reached to answer questions
regarding the information furnished in this application. The contact person can be the health care provider. The contact person will recieve the NPI notification
once the health care provider has been assigned an NPI. Please note that if a contact person is not provided, all questions about this application will be directed to
the health care provider named in Section 2 or the authorized official named in Section 4, as appropriate. You may include multiple credentials. Use additional
sheets of paper for multiple credentials if necessary.
