Has anyone got an e-mail about some final ruling so we health care providers 
can finally have a number that pts can use when filing benefits covered by 
LC's to insurance companies.  No one is really talking yet because maybe it will 
cost medical  CHAMPUS Blue cross etc.  the link is nppes.cms.hhs.gov if you 
want to get a number.  or go to www.hhs.gov for info on health and human 
services.  The deadline is May 23rd.  I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not 
yet.   I will wait to hear from you folks.  I guess some hospitals want the 
individual LC to have a billing number...Again I don't know what it will mean as 
far as your own personal coverage (insurance).  I'm babbling.  I think this is a 
step in the right direction for being identified as a entity to ourselves.   
Thoughts?  You can be private practice as well.
