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.
NPIs are a unique, 10-digit, sequentially assigned national identification number that are mandated by HIPAA to be used by health care providers, health plans, and health care clearinghouses in all administrative and financial HIPAA transactions. NPIs are routinely assigned only to medical providers.
