What these registry facts mean

The NPI (National Provider Identifier) is the federal ID every HIPAA-covered provider uses to bill insurance. This NPI belongs to an individual clinician. The specialty is the taxonomy the provider chose when registering; NPPES does not check it. A license number here is what the provider entered — confirm it with the state board before you rely on it. Podiatrists hold a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) degree and are licensed by each state to treat the foot and ankle; the scope, especially for ankle surgery, varies by state. A registered specialty is not board certification. Confirm the license with the state podiatry board and board certification with the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery or the American Board of Podiatric Medicine.
