How and Where to Search for NPI -National Provider Identification Number for Provider and Organization
So you are entering your patient's demographic information. And it is very important that you also enter your patient's referring physician's NPI number and if the patient was seen other than at the provider's office (eg, outpatient hospital, surgery center or nursing care facilities - you also need to enter their group/organization or institution NPI number.
Here's the useful link where you can search and look up NPI:
https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/NPPES/NPIRegistryHome.do
You can look up by PROVIDER or by ORGANIZATION.
I hope this helps.

Billing and Coding for Skilled Nursing - Nursing Facility Care and Visits (99304-99310)
Since January 01, 2010 - the consultation codes are no longer recognized by Medicare for Part B payment. We were then instructed to bill instead using the nursing facility care codes (99304 - 99306).
Here are your Nursing Facility care codes. I also had included the Subsequent Nursing Facility Care codes!
99304 Initial nursing facility care, per day, for the evaluation and management of a patient, which requires these 3 key components: A detailed or comprehensive history; A detailed or comprehensive examination; and Medical decision making that is straightforward or of low complexity. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other providers or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. Usually, the problem(s) requiring admission are of low severity. Physicians typically spend 25 minutes at the bedside and on the patient's facility floor or unit.
99305 Initial nursing facility care, per day, for the evaluation and management of a patient, which requires these 3 key components: A comprehensive history; A comprehensive examination; and Medical decision making of moderate complexity. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other providers or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. Usually, the problem(s) requiring admission are of moderate severity. Physicians typically spend 35 minutes at the bedside and on the patient's facility floor or unit.
99306 Initial nursing facility care, per day, for the evaluation and management of a patient, which requires these 3 key components: A comprehensive history; A comprehensive examination; and Medical decision making of high complexity. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other providers or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. Usually, the problem(s) requiring admission are of high severity. Physicians typically spend 45 minutes at the bedside and on the patient's facility floor or unit.
99307 Subsequent nursing facility care, per day, for the evaluation and management of a patient, which requires at least 2 of these 3 key components: A problem focused interval history; A problem focused examination; Straightforward medical decision making. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other providers or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. Usually, the patient is stable, recovering, or improving. Physicians typically spend 10 minutes at the bedside and on the patient's facility floor or unit.
99308 Subsequent nursing facility care, per day, for the evaluation and management of a patient, which requires at least 2 of these 3 key components: An expanded problem focused interval history; An expanded problem focused examination; Medical decision making of low complexity. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other providers or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. Usually, the patient is responding inadequately to therapy or has developed a minor complication. Physicians typically spend 15 minutes at the bedside and on the patient's facility floor or unit.
99309 Subsequent nursing facility care, per day, for the evaluation and management of a patient, which requires at least 2 of these 3 key components: A detailed interval history; A detailed examination; Medical decision making of moderate complexity. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other providers or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. Usually, the patient has developed a significant complication or a significant new problem. Physicians typically spend 25 minutes at the bedside and on the patient's facility floor or unit.
99310 Subsequent nursing facility care, per day, for the evaluation and management of a patient, which requires at least 2 of these 3 key components: A comprehensive interval history; A comprehensive examination; Medical decision making of high complexity. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other providers or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. The patient may be unstable or may have developed a significant new problem requiring immediate physician attention. Physicians typically spend 35 minutes at the bedside and on the patient's facility floor or unit.
Please always refer to your local carrier's Coverage Determination. You can also read more from Medicare's (www.CMS.gov) website the Pub. 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, located in Chapter 12 and section 30.6 for more information.

Be careful with your ICD-9 Code that requires a 5th Digit!
Error: Claims are being rejected for "diagnosis code requires a 5th digit". See, you don't need this kind of claim rejection. Because of this simple issue, your claims get delayed for payment. So you have to really pay attention with your codes. Open your book - don't just "google" it! Your ICD-9 Code book is the best book to look up and find the right code.
