NPI Number and North Carolina Medicaid

In the January 2008 provider bulletin, DMA announced that claims would deny effective March 1, 2008, if the NPI, Medicaid provider number and/or taxonomy was missing.

DMA has decided not to implement this policy effective March 1. DMA still requires that all submitted claims contain the Medicaid Provider Number, NPI, and Taxonomy. This data is needed to ensure that providers’ claims are paying to the correct Medicaid Provider Number
