Hi:
Can any one tell me, if an individual doctor pulls away from a large group and had a NPI number that was never used, supposedly under the group, should they/can they use the never used NPI number given to them by the large group, or should they start all over with new NPI number, Medicare number, etc.? Of course, I believe it is true that they can have only one tax ID number? Is that correct?
They are thinking of developing a small group of their own after they have completely pulled away from the large group, i.e., doctor, NP, PA.
Please help.
Thank you.
