NPI number

Recent grad here...

Due to other work committments I won't be applying for jobs for about 4 months. I have already passed my boards, so do I apply for my own NPI number now, on my own, or do I wait until I have been hired and sort that out then alone with my DEA, etc.? I'm not sure how to proceed given my specific situation.

I wish my school had provided better guidance on this topic...

    You can do it anytime, but, if you do it before you are working you need to be very careful about the address/phone you use because it is a searchable database to the public. If you use your home address/phone then a patient could look you up and get your address and phone number.

    That is my concern. I would like to wait until I am hired, but I'm not sure if this will be the kind of thing they will expect to to have done on my own.

    Nope it literally takes like 5 minutes to get.

    I just used the hospital's address - I will say it took me 3-4 weeks to get it when I applied 1 1/2 years ago - hope yours is faster!
