Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Matt, Long story short. If you are a PTPP, every therapist needs an individual NPI and then the group as a whole needs another NPI. If you are otherwise organized as a HHA, CORF then there are some very different scenarios that play out. Also, you can complete the process online and have your NPI in about 90 seconds. The Group number takes about 10 minutes. Regards, Mark F.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Matt, I have a solo practice, but had to get a Medicare group number when I used another PT in my practice temporarily. Therefore, I had to get both an individual NPI and an organizaional NPI. Also, the phone number for NPI questions on the online application was answered promptly when I called.
