What is the difference between a group practice and a private practice?
A group practice is a group of behavioral health care professionals that practice and bill under one Taxpayer Identification Number. If you are making a change to a group practice record, please provide the name of the group practice that owns the Taxpayer Identification Number submitting claims and receiving payment. A private practice is an individual provider who uses his or her own Social Security Number or a Taxpayer Identification Number for claims purposes.
