Question About Locum Tenen

We recently were asked the question "How do you complete the HCFA 1500 form when using a Locum Tenen?" on our Ask the Biller page.

Michele's answer was "You should be using the locum tenen’s individual NPI & legacy numbers in box 24 J, and their name in box 31. Then the group name address and GROUP npi in box 32 & 33."

There still seem to be many questions of the use of NPI numbers. For more free information on the use of NPI numbers, visit our NPI page.
