Provider-based clinics must obtain and use a unique National Provider Identifier (NPI) for reimbursement claims and ensure their NPI is included in.

The bill mandates that provider-based clinics, excluding those exclusively offering laboratory, x-ray, testing, therapy, pharmacy, or educational services, must apply for, obtain, and use a unique National Provider Identifier (NPI) for all reimbursement claims. This NPI must be distinct from the hospital's NPI and included in all-payer claims data. The requirement applies to all claims for reimbursement or payment for health services provided at the clinic, regardless of who files the claim. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to include this new requirement, effective January 1, 2027.
