The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandated that there be a standard unique health identifier for health care providers. The purpose of these provisions is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the electronic transmission of health information. On March 1, 2008, Medicare claims submitted by physicians and other practitioners, laboratories, ambulance company suppliers, DMEPOS suppliers and others that bill Medicare are required to include the new National Provider Identifier (NPI).
