Complex removal of cataract with insertion of prosthetic lens

This procedure involves removing a cloudy lens (cataract) from your eye and replacing it with a clear, artificial lens. It helps restore vision that has been affected by the cataract. The operation is usually done under local anesthesia.

This service was performed 175 times for 150 patients

Dilation of fluid outflow drainage within eye

Dilation to improve eye fluid flow is a process where eye drops are used to widen or dilate your pupils. This allows more fluid to flow out of the eye, reducing pressure and helping to prevent or treat conditions like glaucoma.

This service was performed 21 times for 18 patients

Extracapsular removal of cataract with insertion of artificial lens and insertion of drainage device in front chamber of eye

This is a two-part eye procedure. First, a cloudy lens (cataract) is removed from its outer layer and replaced with an artificial lens to improve vision. Second, a drainage device is inserted into the front part of the eye to manage fluid levels, preventing pressure build-up.

This service was performed 51 times for 43 patients

Laser repair to improve eye fluid flow

Laser repair to improve eye fluid flow is a procedure aimed at treating glaucoma. A laser is used to create a small hole in the eye's drainage system, allowing fluid to flow out more easily. This helps to lower the pressure inside the eye, reducing the risk of vision loss.

This service was performed 64 times for 48 patients

Phenylephrine 10.16 mg/ml and ketorolac 2.88 mg/ml ophthalmic irrigation solution, 1 ml

NPI NPI Number Validation

How NPI Validation Works

The NPI validation process uses the ISO-standard Luhn algorithm, a mathematical "handshake", to ensure that a provider's 10-digit ID is authentic and free of common typing errors.

To verify the NPI 1144287350, we treat the final digit (0) as the Check Digit—the target answer we need to reach. The process begins by taking the first nine digits and adding a constant value of 24, which accounts for the "80840" prefix required for all U.S. health identifiers. We then double every other digit starting from the right and sum the individual digits of those results together. For this specific NPI, that total comes to 60. The final step is to find the difference between that total and the next multiple of ten (60 - 60 = 0).

Digit-by-digit view

Use the first nine digits for the calculation. Starting from the right, double every other digit. The last digit is the check digit and is not part of the calculation.

Step 1: Double every other digit from the right

Starting with the rightmost digit of the first nine digits, double every other value. If doubling creates a two-digit number, add those digits together.

1 → 2 4 → 8 2 → 4 7 → 14 → 5 5 → 10 → 1

Step 2: Add all digits plus the NPI constant

Add the transformed values, the unchanged digits, and the constant 24.

2 + 1 + 8 + 4 + 4 + 8 + 1 + 4 + 3 + 1 + 0 + 24 = 60

Step 3: Find the amount needed to reach the next multiple of 10

The next multiple of ten after 60 is 60. The difference is the calculated check digit.

60 - 60 = 0
This NPI is valid
The calculated check digit is 0, which matches the last digit of 1144287350.
