Update on NPI and TARs
Effective November 1, 2008, providers must enter their Medi-Cal registered National Provider Identifier (NPI) numbers on all Treatment Authorization Requests (TARs). Providers were notified in the September Medi-Cal Update that all Medi-Cal legacy numbers would be end-dated effective October 1, 2008. As a result, the TAR system can no longer accept Medi-Cal legacy numbers; therefore, TARs submitted with a legacy number will not be processed.
NPI numbers that are successfully registered with the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) Provider Enrollment Division (PED) can be used for all past and future dates of service.
Questions regarding the NPI number registration process can be directed to the Telephone Service Center (TSC) at 1-800-541-5555.

Changes to Medi-Cal Provider Records
Any changes in information to DHCS must be reported within 35 days of the change. Deactivation of the provider billing number will occur if DHCS is unable to contact a provider at the last known pay-to, business or mailing address.
