DENTI-CAL NPI REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
DENTI-CAL NPI REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
After you receive your NPI(s) from NPPES, you must register your NPI(s) with Denti-Cal. Providers may register their NPIs through one of two options: 1) Submitting a hardcopy registration form by mail, or 2) Register the NPIs on the web via the Denti-Cal NPI Collection System.
Providers must register an NPI(s) to all existing Denti-Cal Provider Numbers. In most cases, providers will need to register an NPI for their billing provider number and an NPI for their rendering provider number.
Hardcopy Registration Form
(Key: 
Online-Fillable)
Providers may fill out the NPI Registration Form (DHCS 6218) for
their billing and/or rendering provider numbers.
Group providers may use the Registration Form for Group Billing Providers to
register their rendering providers' NPIs.
