The provider name listed on applications for re-verification must match their legal name, name on the NPPES Registry, and their name on any license, certification, and/or accreditation. This includes middle names. If the middle name is listed on NPPES and/or license, certification, and/or accreditation, then it must be included in the application.
Providers can check their listed NPPES name at: https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/search
For providers re-enrolling or submitting re-verification applications:
If the name does not match, do NOT submit the application. Instead send an email to [email protected] with required documentation attached. See chart on this page for more information about required documentation.
