The provider has delivered many of the services listed below to Medicare patients. Please note that this list does not include services provided to patients who are not covered by Medicare.

Bone marrow, smear interpretation

Bone marrow smear interpretation is a procedure where a small sample of your bone marrow is taken and examined under a microscope. This helps doctors identify any abnormal cells or signs of diseases such as anemia, leukemia, or infections. It's a crucial step in diagnosing various blood disorders.

This service was performed 312 times for 306 patients

Flow cytometry technique for dna or cell analysis, 16 or more markers

Flow cytometry is a method used to measure and analyze cells. It uses a beam of light to detect up to 16 or more markers on cells, helping to identify their type, function, or abnormalities. This technique aids in diagnosing various health conditions.

This service was performed 590 times for 575 patients

Genetic sequencing localization, each additional procedure

Genetic sequencing localization is a process where specific regions of your DNA are identified and studied. If you're having additional procedures, it simply means that more areas of your DNA are being examined. This helps to understand your genetic makeup better and can assist in identifying potential health risks.

This service was performed 168 times for 149 patients

Genetic sequencing localization, initial procedure

Genetic sequencing localization is a process to identify where specific genes are located in your DNA. During the initial procedure, a sample of your cells is collected, usually through a simple swab or blood test. This data is then analyzed to pinpoint the location of certain genes. This can help understand your genetic makeup and potential health risks.

This service was performed 169 times for 151 patients

Microscopic genetic analysis of tissue, manual, each additional multiplex stain procedure

Microscopic genetic analysis of tissue is a detailed lab process that examines your cells' genetic material. If more than one stain procedure is needed, it's termed an 'additional multiplex stain procedure'. This helps to highlight different components within your cells, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

This service was performed 298 times for 297 patients

Special stained specimen slides to examine tissue including interpretation and report

Special stained specimen slides are used to examine tissue samples. This involves applying special dyes to the tissue, which helps to highlight certain features under a microscope. The findings are then interpreted and a report is provided. This can aid in diagnosing various health conditions.

This service was performed 697 times for 315 patients

Special stained specimen slides to examine tissue, each additional procedure

Special stained specimen slides are used to analyze tissue in detail. In this process, extra procedures may be needed for a more thorough examination. These involve applying special stains to the tissue on slides, enhancing specific elements for closer study.

This service was performed 613 times for 224 patients

Special stained specimen slides to examine tissue, initial procedure

This procedure involves the use of specially stained slides to examine tissue samples. The initial process involves obtaining a small tissue sample from your body.

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 1407099732, we treat the final digit (2) 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 68. The final step is to find the difference between that total and the next multiple of ten (70 - 68 = 2).

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 0 → 0 0 → 0 9 → 18 → 9 3 → 6

Step 2: Add all digits plus the NPI constant

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

2 + 4 + 0 + 7 + 0 + 9 + 1 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 24 = 68

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

The next multiple of ten after 68 is 70. The difference is the calculated check digit.

70 - 68 = 2
This NPI is valid
The calculated check digit is 2, which matches the last digit of 1407099732.
