A key issue of BYOD which is often overlooked is BYODâs phone number problem, which raises the question of the ownership of the phone number. The issue becomes apparent when employees in sales or other customer-facing roles leave the company and take their phone number with them.
Note: There are some situations, however, in which an NPI may change such as when. health care provider organizations determine they may need a new NPI due to, for. example, certain changes of ownership, the conditions of a purchase, or new ownerâs.
Using the NPI should result in several advantages, including: 1  One unique provider identifier for all health plans to utilize. 2  A permanent provider identifier that will not change in the event of practice relocation or changes in specialty. 3  A more efficient coordination of benefits.
