What is the best way to get referring physician NPI numbers, so that Labs and facilities can submit clean clms

I am at a facility/radiology - our claims require the NPI number from referring physicians. Is there a data base like the one used for UPIN? Will there me a data base to confirm NPI numbers?

No database yet because they're not required until June 2007. Best thing - call the referring doctors and start your own database.

NPI numbers are not required until March 2007. Not everyone has yet applied for an NPI. Call as needed. Claims should not be requiring this info as of yet.
