OWCP is adding the data elements National Provider Identifier (NPI) and taxonomy number, which will be 32a and 33a on the revised OWCP-1500.

The information obtained to complete claims under these programs is used to identify the patient and determine their eligibility. It is also used                           ( print page 42694)                        to decide if the services and supplies received are covered by these programs and to assure that proper payment is made.
