What these registry facts mean
The NPI (National Provider Identifier) is the federal ID every HIPAA-covered provider uses to bill insurance. This NPI belongs to an organization, so it may cover several clinicians at this location. The specialty is the taxonomy the provider chose when registering; NPPES does not check it. A license number here is what the provider entered — confirm it with the state board before you rely on it. Prosthetic/Orthotic Supplier is a supplier taxonomy: it describes a business that provides artificial limbs and braces, not an individual practitioner's certification. Ask which staff are certified (for example CPO, CP or CO through the American Board for Certification or the Board of Certification/Accreditation) and whether your state requires a license.
Checking credentials: the NPI record shows the business's registration, not any person's certification. Certification can be checked with the American Board for Certification (abcop.org) or the Board of Certification/Accreditation (bocusa.org), and some states license practitioners; check with your state board.
