00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.498
This Livewire page documents Connecticut guidance stating

00:00:03.498 --> 00:00:06.926
ABI service providers may enroll and submit claims without

00:00:06.926 --> 00:00:09.669
an NPI, while ABI Resources voluntarily uses one.

00:00:09.669 --> 00:00:13.030
Review seven fields: provider legal name, state enrollment

00:00:13.030 --> 00:00:17.555
ID, NPI if applicable, taxonomy, service location, ownership, and claim submitter.

00:00:17.555 --> 00:00:20.573
Federal rules require an NPI for covered health care

00:00:20.573 --> 00:00:23.728
providers and allow eligible non-covered providers to

00:00:23.728 --> 00:00:27.499
obtain one; exact coverage depends on the entity and transactions.

00:00:27.499 --> 00:00:32.848
A state-assigned identifier is not proof of secrecy, weak oversight, fraud, or improper billing.

00:00:32.848 --> 00:00:35.797
An NPI can improve cross-system matching, but it does

00:00:35.797 --> 00:00:39.981
not prove qualification, service quality, ownership, or payment accuracy.

00:00:39.981 --> 00:00:45.192
Compare the Connecticut workshop, current enrollment record, NPPES data, and claims policy.

00:00:45.192 --> 00:00:49.169
