Format Info	1. No embedded spaces or dashes. 2. A valid, non-blank code must consist of 10 digits (i.e., must be all numeric).
Consistency Required	1. Agencies may submit their National Provider ID (NPI) on a voluntary basis. The NATL_PROV_ID field is used for this purpose and is present on both the header and body record. Both fields may be left blank, but if non-blank values are submitted, the values in the header and body records should match (a warning will be issued if they do not match). *2. If a non-blank value is submitted in NATL_PROV_ID, it must conform with the format info above (i.e., it must consist of 10 digits with no embedded spaces or blanks). 3. If a non-blank value is submitted, it should represent the NPI of the parent agency, not of any branches if they have separate NPIs. The NPI that is submitted should be the one that is used on the agency"s HIPAA billing transactions with CMS.
