    Medicare NPI stands for National Provider Identifier. It is a unique, 10 digit number issued to health care provides in the United States by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This number started being used rather than the UPIN (unique provider identification number) when HIPAA was introduced in 1996.
