If you work with any kind of healthcare data, then odds are youâll deal with NPI (National Provider Identifier) numbers. The NPI is a 10-digit number consisting of 9 digits (with the first digit being a 1 or a 2) followed by a check digit. Double the value of alternate digits beginning with the rightmost digit. Add the individual digits of the products resulting from step 1 to the unaffected digits from the original number.
Louisiana remained nominally under Spanish control, until a transfer of power to France on November 30, 1803, just three weeks before the formal cession to the United States on December 20, 1803.
Shreveport was established in 1837 in the southern part of the parish, and in 1838, the Louisiana portion of the Caddo cession, formerly a part of Natchitoches Parish, became Caddo Parish. Because the Indian agent had been so diligent in his duties, the migration of settlers to the southwestern United States beginning after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 was precluded in the area.
