About Palliative Care Providers
A palliative care physician is a medical doctor who specializes in providing relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of serious, life-limiting illnesses. They work to improve the quality of life for patients facing conditions like cancer, heart failure, and dementia, providing symptom management, emotional support, and advance care planning. Palliative care doctors earn an MD or DO, complete a residency, and undergo a fellowship program in hospice and palliative medicine, focusing on holistic, patient-centered comfort care.
Finding a palliative care provider's NPI number is essential for billing consultations, home visits, and symptom management services to health insurance and Medicare. Insurance companies require the physician's NPI on claims to process payments for palliative services. The NPI database verifies the specialist's active state licensing, board credentials, and palliative medicine taxonomy. Checking the NPI database helps clinics manage billing compliance and ensures that comfort-focused care is billed correctly.
