NPI Notification
Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Providers (CMS) will enforce the federal HIPAA requirements for National Provider Identifiers effective May 2007.
The NPI is a 10-digit, intelligence free numeric identifier that does not carry information about the health care providers, such as the state in which they practice or their provider type or specialization.
Sequest has sent out instructions on how to add the NPI field to your forms as well as your SQL billing views. If you have not received this information, please contact support.

Daylight Savings Reminder
Beginning in 2007, daylight saving time (DST) will be extended in the United States. DST will start on March 11, 2007 and will end on November 4, 2007. This results in a new DST period that is four weeks longer than in previous years.
TIER uses your computer system's clock. According to Microsoft, unless certain updates are applied to your computer, the time zone settings for your computer's system clock may be incorrect during this four-week period. In particular, you must make sure that both your Windows operating system and your calendar programs are updated.
