The mandatory reporting of the NPI on claims received by the department on or after May 23, 2007, only applies to the billing provider. Providers will not be required to submit the NPI for payees with the May 23, 2007 NPI implementation. Providers should continue to report the 1-digit payee code to designate their appropriate payee.
