As of March 1, doctors who bill Medicare electronically must include their NPIs on all Medicare claims in addition to any older IDs they may have been using. For most of the past year, the program has been allowing physicians to use their older, "legacy" identifiers alone while they obtained new NPIs and made sure the personal information attached to all of the numbers was matching correctly. Although the deadlines don't apply to physicians who file only paper claims, those who send their claims to a clearinghouse that files electronically on their behalf must comply.
