About Pediatrics Providers
A pediatrician is a medical physician who specializes in the physical, emotional, and social health of children, from birth through young adulthood. They diagnose and treat childhood illnesses, monitor growth and developmental milestones, administer immunizations, and provide guidance on nutrition and safety. Pediatricians hold an MD or DO degree, complete a three-year pediatric residency, and pass board certification exams. They are dedicated to preventative healthcare and managing both minor childhood ailments and complex, long-term pediatric chronic diseases.
Verifying a pediatrician's NPI number is essential for parents, pediatric clinics, and medical billers to ensure insurance claims for child healthcare are paid. Pediatricians use their NPI to submit billing for wellness visits, vaccines, and specialist referrals. The CMS NPI registry confirms the pediatrician's active license, pediatric taxonomy code, and clinical address. Checking the NPI ensures that the physician is recognized by insurance providers and Medicaid, allowing children to receive covered care without billing errors.
