You must have an NPI# to be added to the hospital's patient records system. If you do not already have an NPI#, follow instructions below to apply for one. Otherwise, mark this step as complete and enter your NPI# in the next checklist step.
- If you do not have an NPI#, please go to https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/ (opens in a new tab) and apply for one.
- Apply as an "Individual Provider," not as an "Organization."
- If you do not have a US Social Security Number, you cannot apply for NPI# online. You can apply using a paper application (Form CMS-10114 (opens in a new tab)) and include two proofs of identification along with a letter explaining why you don't have an SSN. Most training hospitals will need your NPI# to activate your training and access.
- If you do not have a GA Training Permit or GA medical license, apply as a student/healthcare in the taxonomy menu and update your information when you get your permit or license.
- Note your Taxonomy Code from the NPI registration site (opens in a new tab), or search the Health Care Provider Taxonomy Code Set (opens in a new tab) to enter on NI Onboarding Checklist where it is requested as well.
- Use your INCOMING training program address and contact phone number. If your training program address is not accepted, use:
1364 Clifton Rd., Atlanta, GA 30322.
This is the address for Emory University Hospital. - Under section 5A, check the box for "Check here if you are the same person in 2A", and use your incoming training program contact phone number if needed.
- You should receive your NPI# within 24 hours if you apply online.
- International trainees without a US social security number may skip this section but must apply as soon as you receive your social security number. You will not have access to some training hospitals until the NPI# is received. Try paper application as noted under item #3 above.
