A key issue of BYOD which is often overlooked is BYODâs phone number problem, which raises the question of the ownership of the phone number. The issue becomes apparent when employees in sales or other customer-facing roles leave the company and take their phone number with them.
Note: There are some situations, however, in which an NPI may change such as when. health care provider organizations determine they may need a new NPI due to, for. example, certain changes of ownership, the conditions of a purchase, or new ownerâs.
The NPI (National Provider Identifier) is the only health care provider identifier that can be used for identification purposes in standard transactions by covered entities. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires that covered entities use NPI numbers in standard transactions.
