I just got my NPI number.  Just google NPI and you'll find various sites
that will point you in the right direction.  It is quite easy to get -
as long as you have a license number.  I was able to get my NPI in a few
minutes. 

I hope that helps.

Dear Friends:

A few years ago, maybe even 5, there was a  US National Registry where
one
could get a national health provider number.

I got a number. Never used it. And now I have a client whose referring
physician wants my number so insurance will reimburse.

Does anyone remember this? Have any clue as to the link?
Please help and reply off-list.

warmly,
