Here is an explanation of the
verification process for an organization using the Request for
National Provider Identification Number form (VA Form
10-0449A):
There are two steps to the verification of a
requester: 1) When a VA facility receives a request for a
practitioner's National Provider Identifier (NPI) from a non-VA
provider, the local NPI Maintenance Team Leader will verify the
requesting organization via the Fee Vendor File, the Fee Services
Office, or the Integrated Billing non-VA/Other Provider File in
VistA.  If the requester is determined to be a bona fide
organization, the NPI Maintenance Team Leader will fax the request
form to the non-VA provider.  2) The non-VA provider will return the
form with its organizational data and specific request information;
the non-VA provider's organizational data on the form will be further
verified before the NPI Maintenance Team Leader returns the requested
NPI information.
