NPI ... Supporting our Providers
HSCSN/NET is committed to supplying providers with the programs, information and support needed to ensure the health and well-being of our members and the communities we serve. In preparation for the HIPAA mandated May 23, 2007 deadline, HSCSN/NET is encouraging all its providers to update their records by supplying us their NPI numbers.
Update Your Records
HSCSN/NET is in the process of collecting NPI numbers. Providers are encouraged to furnish their NPI number to us now, so we can be ready for the May 23, 2007, deadline. Any questions regarding the process to obtain your NPI number(s) may be addressed to the NPI Enumerator.
