NPI Numbers

HAVE YOU OBTAINED BOTH YOUR

TYPE 1 NPI AND YOUR

TYPE 2 NPI NUMBER (if needed)?

To obtain your NPI numbers, please go to the NPPES website below to fill out your NPI application(s)

https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/NPPES/Welcome.do

Many of you have already obtained your National Provider Identifier (NPI) numbers and submitted these numbers to CNC. However, it appears that some providers have only received their Type 1 NPI number, but have not obtained their Type 2 NPI number. A Type 1 NPI number is for the “human” provider whereas the Type 2 NPI number is for the organization, group, or business of the provider. To clarify:

If your practice is incorporated

If you are a member of a group practice (with more than one provider)

You must obtain 2 NPI numbers – both a TYPE 1 NPI as well as a TYPE 2 NPI.

If you are a sole proprietor, you are only required to obtain a TYPE 1 NPI number.
