- The purpose of this letter is to 1) have providers apply for and receive an NPI beginning May 2005; 2) alert providers that use of the NPI in health care transactions is mandatory as of May 2007; and 3) alert providers that because some health plans may accept the NPI sooner, providers must pay close attention to plan/payer billing instructions.
