- If part of a health care group or organization with a CPA, enroll with HCA as a servicing provider or non-billing provider under the group’s CPA with the individual’s NPI
- If applicable, be listed as a servicing provider on the group’s roster submitted to the managed care organization (MCO)
- For dates of service on and after July 1, 2025, have their NPI captured on the claim as the servicing provider for services rendered
