Do you have an NPI number? An individual (Type 1) NPI is necessary for insurance billing and working with Foodsmart. Applying now ensures smooth onboarding. Your NPI remains with you throughout your career, same as your CDR number. It's a one-time, free application, typically taking about 30 minutes to complete. If you don't have an NPI yet, indicate "in progress" or provide another relevant status update. Apply here: https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/#/✱
