NPI, National Provider Identifier – For Hospice claims I used to enter the Medicaid Provider ID of the Nursing Home the patient is in to get paid, but NPI does not allow a facility as the referring provider. What should I do?
A:
Prior to NPI that was true, but with NPI you are no longer required to make that entry. The system was designed to price the Hospice claim without the Medicaid Provider ID of the Nursing Home.
