credentialing

[steve.beckner]

I have a client who is already enrolled with major payers under his individual credentials. He wants to start a group practice. I have created the group NPI #. My question is do we need to get group Tax ID # separately.

Yes. You need to get a group Tax ID as the provider may be adding practitioners to his group in the future and it would not be appropriate to account revenue of the group under the Social security number of your Client. Hope this helps.

What Tax ID did you use on the group NPI number?

[medwave]

You definitely need to get them a Tax ID / EIN #. That could change in the future, if they merge things, but for now, yes.

both the billing provider's tax ID number and NPI are always required on claims. Any other providers identified, such as rendering provider or service facility, must be identified with their NPI only. Their tax ID number should not be included.

Thanks!
