Entering the NPI Number for a Provider

There are two types of NPI numbers. Type 1 is for an individual, and Type 2 is for a group or practice. The Type 1 NPI number is transmitted electronically for both treating and billing NPI fields, as well as printed in the appropriate fields on the insurance claim form.

To enter the NPI number for a provider:

  1. In the Employee Properties window, click the Insurance tab.

  2. In the National Provider ID field, enter the doctor's Type 1 NPI.
