Comments

On an institutional claim, this is the NPI number assigned to uniquely identify the institutional provider certified by Medicare to provide services to the beneficiary.

On the carrier claim, this is line-level information regarding the performing physician (Short Name = PRGRPNPI); it is the NPI of the group practice, where the performing physician is part of that group.
