This Livewire page documents Connecticut guidance stating

2
00:00:03,498 --> 00:00:06,926
ABI service providers may enroll and submit claims without

3
00:00:06,926 --> 00:00:09,669
an NPI, while ABI Resources voluntarily uses one.

4
00:00:09,669 --> 00:00:13,030
Review seven fields: provider legal name, state enrollment

5
00:00:13,030 --> 00:00:17,555
ID, NPI if applicable, taxonomy, service location, ownership, and claim submitter.

6
00:00:17,555 --> 00:00:20,573
Federal rules require an NPI for covered health care

7
00:00:20,573 --> 00:00:23,728
providers and allow eligible non-covered providers to

8
00:00:23,728 --> 00:00:27,499
obtain one; exact coverage depends on the entity and transactions.

9
00:00:27,499 --> 00:00:32,848
A state-assigned identifier is not proof of secrecy, weak oversight, fraud, or improper billing.

10
00:00:32,848 --> 00:00:35,797
An NPI can improve cross-system matching, but it does

11
00:00:35,797 --> 00:00:39,981
not prove qualification, service quality, ownership, or payment accuracy.

12
00:00:39,981 --> 00:00:45,192
Compare the Connecticut workshop, current enrollment record, NPPES data, and claims policy.
