Minnesota Medicaid requires providers to use a valid National Provider Identifier (NPI) or Unique Minnesota Provider Identifier (UMPI) when submitting claims to Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP).
Provider Identifier Requirements
- NPI: Providers eligible for a National Provider Identifier must obtain one through the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) before enrolling with MHCP.
- UMPI: Providers who are not eligible for an NPI may be assigned a 10-digit Unique Minnesota Provider Identifier (UMPI) by MHCP during enrollment.
An NPI or UMPI is required on all claims submitted to MHCP.
