Complete required NPI number by Jan. 31

All IU School of Medicine students: Apply for your National Provider Identifier (NPI) number by Jan. 31, 2025. This is required on your part.

Please follow the instructions provided in MedHub, Canvas, or via email to obtain and report out your NPI number.

Some students/residents may have applied for and received NPI numbers already. Any student/resident who does not have an NPI number should apply for one as soon as possible. There is no fee to apply, and the online application process should take only 15-20 minutes.

We suggest that you use IU School of Medicine's business address as your temporary business mailing and practice address on your NPI application. We strongly discourage using your personal address, as the NPI database is publicly accessible. If you've already used your personal address on your NPI, we suggest updating it to the School's business address.

IU School of Medicine Business Address
340 W. 10th St.
Fairbanks Hall, Suite 6200
Indianapolis, IN 46202-3082
(317) 274-8157

You’ll need to update this address after graduation, usually with the address of where you will be working next.

NPI Number Application Instructions

The NPI is a numeric identifier that is assigned to physicians and other health care providers by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This 10-digit number follows physicians through their entire career once assigned.
 
IU School of Medicine and the INPACT grant utilizes this number for data analytics throughout the life of the grant.

If you have any compliance questions or concerns, please contact IU School of Medicine Compliance.
