Understanding the HIPAA National Provider Identifier

HIPAA has affected nearly everyone in health care since its 1996 inception. One of the latest requirements is the introduction of a National Provider Identifier.

Delta Dental is committed to helping you understand the NPI process and benefit from this new identifier. The Delta Dental Plans Association has developed a fact sheet for dentists that explains why the NPI was developed, who is required to obtain and use NPIs, how to apply for and receive an NPI, and what to do with your NPI when you receive it.
