About Community Health Worker Providers
A community health worker (CHW) is a frontline public health professional who serves as a liaison between health services and the community. They facilitate access to medical care, improve service delivery, and increase health knowledge through community education, counseling, and social support. CHWs often share a deep understanding of the community they serve and may complete specialized state training programs. They work in clinics, public health departments, and non-profits, helping vulnerable populations navigate the medical system and access social determinants of health.
While community health workers do not prescribe medicine, their NPI number is increasingly required by state Medicaid programs and grant-funded health networks to track and bill for community outreach and care coordination. The NPI registry provides public record of the CHW's professional classification and location. Verifying a community health worker's NPI ensures that clinics can document and receive reimbursement for preventative health outreach, promoting health equity while keeping billing systems transparent.
