Clarification of Letters Terminating Unused Atypical Provider Number
Termination letters are being sent to Atypical Providers who never completed the Currently Enrolled Provider registration process. In other words, their Atypical Provider Numbers were never validated in NCTracks and have not been used in the system in over two years. The first wave of letters was sent on July 26, 2015, and additional waves will follow in the coming weeks.
Some providers may have had both an Atypical Provider Number and an NPI. Note that this activity does not affect any active NPIs. It is only Atypical Provider Numbers that were never validated in NCTracks and have not been used in the system in over two years that are being terminated. Providers can find the affected Atypical Provider Number in the upper right corner of the letter.
