NPI registry

NPI registry
Dr. Patel has 20+ years experience. Registered with an NPI since 2006. National Provider Identifiers only began in 2005, so a provider who qualified earlier may have practiced for longer than this.
NPI registry
According to Medicare billing data, Dr. Patel the Medicare record under this individual NPI shows mainly office visits and diagnostic testing. Hospital-based physicians usually have their procedural work billed by the facility rather than under their own number, so this is a floor on their practice, not a description of it. This reflects Medicare patients only and is billing volume, not a measure of quality.
