You can also look up the Physician's information on the National Provider Identification website by doing a search on his name, this will give you the providers full name, addresses (mailing and practice location) and all his identification numbers from various insurance companies, from NPI, PTNN, API, UPIN, GROUP# etc..; visit the NPI Registry at https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov.

We use this site also. I have it saved in my favorites. Good advice!

I had a similiar action happen - and after exhausted digging etc: the simple question that I didn't ask the claims dept was - who did you send the check to?; Long story short - the carrier had associated our physicans name with another physician with the same name in another area of Maryland and they were sending claims to that physician. because in a transition move at the insurance carrier - the tax ID and physician name had been entered into their data base incorrectly - In the end, it was also a group number issue with the claim - as it was priced elsewhere - you all know that routine - and sent to the 'company' to pay the claim - lesson learned - always ask - to whom and what address was on the check/EOB.
