naynay222 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'm confused about the National Provider Identifier - when are we supposed to apply for one? Do I have to have the job first? I have an interview coming up, and I was asked about when I would get my NPI....I thought that would come with job placement and after I obtained licensure. Thank you for any help. Please refer me to the thread if this topic has already been discussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemegroup Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Once you're licensed you can apply for your NPI. It has nothing to do with job placement.

btg138 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I did it without a job offer. Very easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemegroup Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I did it without a job offer. Very easy. Right, just list your home address as practice location and then change it when you get the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eventide Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Thanks -- I had no idea about this. I just thought the NPI was our NCCPA Identification #. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlhoward Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 But you do have to be licensed in your state first correct? On the website it states that some "taxonomies" don't need a license first, but no specifics about PA. Also how do you choose between a general PA (level 2) or medical PA (level 3) taxonomy and does it really make a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areich6 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Do you need to have a DEA license before getting an NPI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're independent. Recently got a 2nd DEA, and it didn't ask for my NPI either, I don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had followed the link posted here to "register" but I go through the basic information (security question address etc) and get to a page that says "NPI record could not be found" and no clear pathway for how to continue. 1. I have a state license "pending supervising physician" so if it is required to be out of pending status to receive NPI registration I am not sure how I would have an NPI before I have a job and supervising physician. 2. Otherwise I am not sure why when I am following the steps for *registration* does it take me to page that says my NPI record could not be found? What am I missing? Thanks!
