	MEDICARE ANNOUNCES NEW NPI REQUIREMENTS STARTING MARCH 1Physical  
therapists will be required to include their National Provider  
Identifier (NPI) in their Medicare claims' primary fields beginning  
March 1, 2008. Claims that only contain legacy numbers in the billing,  
pay-to, or rendering fields will be rejected or returned, according to  
a recent announcement by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid  
Services (CMS). CMS cited successful transition to the NPI as cause  
for the next step in implementing the 10-digit numeric identifier.
