About Physician Assistant Providers
A physician assistant (PA) is a licensed medical professional who practices medicine in collaboration with and under the supervision of a physician. PAs conduct physical exams, diagnose illnesses, develop treatment plans, prescribe medications, and assist in surgeries. PAs must complete a rigorous master's-level medical training program, which includes extensive clinical rotations, and pass the Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam (PANCE). They practice across all medical specialties, including emergency medicine, surgery, and primary care, providing high-quality care that expands access to medical services.
Verifying a physician assistant's NPI number is essential for billing insurance companies and verifying credential details. PAs write prescriptions and perform procedures that are billed to health insurance providers, requiring their individual NPI to be on the claim form. Because PAs work under the supervision of a physician, their NPI is often paired with the doctor's billing NPI for reimbursement. Checking the NPI registry confirms the PA's active state licensing and taxonomy codes, helping billers submit claims accurately and prevent payment delays.
