Reviews for KAREN JEAN POLEY MD

  • 5 out of 5 stars - Review by C. D. on December 06, 2024

    The best gynecologist I have ever had. She is very sharp, and one of the finest human beings I have ever known. She is also both kind and ethical. Values are crucial in a doctor today because there are rivers of private equity flowing into private medical practices. She also stays on top of evolving medical treatments. Sadly, too many ObGyn's do not, and that hurts women.

  • 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 1477549368, we treat the final digit (8) 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 62. The final step is to find the difference between that total and the next multiple of ten (70 - 62 = 8).

    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 7 → 14 → 5 5 → 10 → 1 9 → 18 → 9 6 → 12 → 3

    Step 2: Add all digits plus the NPI constant

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

    2 + 4 + 1 + 4 + 7 + 1 + 0 + 4 + 1 + 8 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 24 = 62

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

    The next multiple of ten after 62 is 70. The difference is the calculated check digit.

    70 - 62 = 8
    This NPI is valid
    The calculated check digit is 8, which matches the last digit of 1477549368.
