Provider-based clinics obtaining and usage of a unique National Provider Identifier(NPI) for reimbursement claims requirement, and all-payer claims data submitted inclusion of a provider-based clinic's unique NPI requirement provision

This bill requires provider-based clinics in Minnesota to obtain and use their own unique National Provider Identifier (NPI) when submitting reimbursement claims for health services. It mandates that all claims, whether filed directly or through intermediaries, must include this distinct clinic identifier separate from the parent hospital's NPI. Additionally, the bill requires all-payer claims data submissions to include the clinic's unique NPI to improve data accuracy and tracking. The law applies to clinics owned by hospitals or health systems that are located at least 250 yards from main hospital buildings and primarily provide diagnostic and therapeutic care. These requirements will take effect on January 1, 2027.
