Mr. Doyle shared the following tip with Becker’s Hospital Review.
“When not managed properly it’s easy to lose control over the number of tax IDs your providers have; this is especially true for large hospitals with hundreds of providers. A good rule of thumb is no more than three tax IDs per provider. While downsizing these numbers is a cumbersome task that requires diligent follow-through, an outsourced partner with proven knowledge and resources can make a world of difference in regaining control.”
