The guillotine is a machine used to execute people by decapitation (chopping off their heads). A guillotine is made of a heavy blade attached to a rack, which moves up and down on a vertical frame. When the rack is let go, it will fall down and the blade will cut the convict's head off.
A national producer number, or NPN, is a tool to protect individual insurance agents and agencies from identity theft and fraudulent representations made to the National Insurance Producer Registry, or NIPR.
What Is an NPI Number? Whenever your doctor's office or hospital bills your insurance company, it transmits electronic information about your health. As a result, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPPA, requires it to have a National Provider Identifier, or NPI, number.
