About Otolaryngology Providers

An otolaryngologist, or ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctor, is a medical physician who specializes in the medical and surgical management of disorders of the head and neck. They treat hearing loss, sinus infections, allergies, tonsillitis, voice disorders, and head and neck tumors. ENTs earn an MD or DO degree, complete a five-year residency program in otolaryngology, and pass surgical boards. They perform surgeries like tonsillectomies, sinus surgeries, and ear tube placements, caring for both pediatric and adult patients with ENT disorders.

An ENT physician's NPI number is required for submitting medical claims, requesting referral authorizations, and writing prescriptions. Insurance companies require the physician's NPI on claims to pay for ENT consults, diagnostic tests, and surgical procedures. The NPI database verifies the specialist's state license, surgical board certification, and otolaryngology taxonomy. Checking the NPI registry helps billing departments submit clean claims and helps patients verify that their ENT doctor is registered.
