After May 23rd, Medicare will STOP paying claims on anything other than the NPI as their primary provider identifier. The APTA recommends to avoid denied claims and payment problems, physical therapists should be submitting batches of claims now to make sure that their NPIs are being recognized.

The APTA has also developed a web-based tool kit. Check it out by clicking here.
